There’s no need to let holiday meals steer you away from staying on track when it comes to maintaining a healthy diet. Luckily, there are plenty of delicious ingredients you can remember to include in your recipes that will do wonders for both your weight loss and appetite.
We’ve gathered the top six flat-belly foods that you should prioritize in your diet well into the new year, so that you can shed the extra pounds you’ve been trying to lose. Without further ado, let’s dive into these delicious and effective weight loss foods.
The first food that comes to mind are almonds. According to Healthline, almonds may be effective for weight loss. Healthline explains that evidence suggests that eating nuts can boost your metabolism. Almonds in particular also have a ton of antioxidants and are high in Vitamin E.
Another great weight loss food is avocado. Dr. Oz’s website explains how avocados are a great ingredient to add to almost any meal. “Loaded with vitamins and minerals, avocados are incredibly nutrient dense. Containing monounsaturated fatty acids, the same ingredient in olive oil, avocados can promote weight loss.”
If you’re looking for something sweet to munch on then we’ve got the perfect weight loss food suggestion for you. According to Driscolls, berries are ideal for weight loss because they don’t have lots of calories or fat, but they’re still delicious.
A more hearty fat shedding ingredient is lentils. As Livestrong explains, Dr. Jonny Bowden says that lentils are among the healthiest foods you can eat. Lentils are a good diet food because they contain 18 grams of protein per cup.
Lentils can easily be paired with eggs for an extra powerful weight loss meal. According to Healthline, eggs are also a killer weight loss food because they’re “rich in high-quality protein, healthy fats and many essential vitamins and minerals.” Now, if you’re not looking to have eggs one morning we have another tasty and healthy breakfast food recommendation.
Eating oatmeal in the morning can easily help you to lose belly fat. Eat This, Not That! suggests 25 different ways for you to incorporate the healthy oat grains into your diet. Oatmeal can be used in a variety of ways, including acting as a main ingredient in homemade snack bars to being an essential ingredient to thicken up shakes. The weight loss food possibilities are endless!
