Most people only consider the foods that they should avoid when trying to lose weight, but there is a much easier approach we can take to weight loss: focusing on the foods we can eat. Not only is this approach a more positive way to look at goals, but it can also help to promote a more balanced, healthy diet.
We took a look into the healthiest foods you can eat to promote weight loss, build strength and encourage an energized feeling throughout each day. Scroll down to see what you should be eating.
1. Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is one of the most powerful foods you can eat for weight loss. This is because it is loaded with calcium, vitamin D and probiotics, which work together to burn fat and aid in healthy digestion.
The best way to eat Greek yogurt is with as few additives as possible. We recommend buying unsweetened yogurt and adding in a bit of hony for a sugar-free way to achieve a sweet taste.
2. Eggs
Eggs are one of the most cost effective foods in terms of protein. They contain very high-quality protein, with very little fat or price.
They also contain zinc, iron and other vitamins that can contribute to weight loss.
3. Almonds
Almonds contian a ton of fiber, protein and vitamins that help promote a balanced metabolism and can even help you feel energized.
We love eating almonds as a snack, though you can also add them to salads for an extra health kick.
4. Chia Seeds
Rich in fiber, protein, omega-3 and magnesium, chia seeds deliver an extreme amount of nutrients for very few calories. These tiny yet might seeds can help transform your diet in the simplest way.
The best thing about chia seeds is that you can seamlessly add them to just about anything. We love throwing a teaspoon of them into overnight oats or smoothies!
