People always think that in order for them to lose weight they have to stay away from food… but this isn’t exactly true.

There are quicker, safer alternatives to diet pills, green tea, and extreme starvation, and believe it or not, one of these methods is food.

But not just any food­, healthy foods that can help you lose weight.

 Most people try to lose weight through trial and error instead of doing the proper research…

When people resort to using diet pills, starvation, and the like, they ignore the fact that what you do eat is just as, if not more important than the amount of food you eat.

They obsessively count their calories and disregard the quality of their diet, macronutrient ratios, and energy requirements.

The result is they are always hungry, tired, and more liable to fall go back to old eating patterns, and are unable to lose or maintain weight.

But this isn’t a hassle you’ll have to go through if you stick around and keep reading because you’re going to find out the 4 best foods you can start eating right now to start shedding weight.

  3. Omega-3/ fish oil

Another misconception people trying to lose weight key into is that fats are bad for you.

Omega-3 works to help you lose weight mainly by

-         Reducing hunger and curbing your appetite.

-         Boosting your metabolism: The higher your metabolism works, the easier it is for you to lose weight.

In one study, omega-3 administration significantly increased resting metabolic rate by 14%, energy expenditure during exercise by 10%, and the rate of fat oxidation during rest by 19% and during exercise by 27%.

2. Leafy Veggies

These are plants with edible leaves that can be consumed raw or cooked. Leafy veggies help keep you satiated due to their water content, are rich in fiber and nutrients, are low in fats and calories, and help with sugar absorption.

They also go well with other weight loss foods such as Greek yogurt and of course the last weight-loss food on this list.

You can get the benefits of these leafy wonders in kale, spinach, collard greens, and cabbage.
