Here are five foods you should consume to lose weight
Normally eating more food makes one gain weight but there are five foods who cut you some weight
(Web Desk) To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than you expend. Eating foods with low calorie density can help you lose weight because they help you feel full before you have eaten too many calories. Most vegetables are good for weight loss because they are low in calories.
Here are five foods that are ideal for your weight loss diet.
Broccoli:
A cup of broccoli (31 calories, 2.4 grams of fiber) plus 2 tablespoons of hummus (about 50 calories, 2 g fiber) is a satisfying low-cal snack.
Broccoli packs a lot of volume but with very little calories. Its best for those who are on diet.
Cabbage:
Even though Cabbage does not burn fats, It is still ideal for your weight loss diet because it packs very little amount of calories. A half cup of cabbage is only 17 calories.
Kale:
Each cup of raw kale contains 2.4 grams of dietary fiber, or 10 percent of the daily value based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Dietary fiber is a nutrient that helps reduce hunger and aids in weight control. Protein is another filling nutrient, according to Harvard University, and a cup of kale contains only 3 grams, or 6 percent of the daily value.
Squash:
No doubt squash is good for you: 1 cup, cooked, delivers 214 percent of the recommended daily value for vitamin A and a third of your recommended daily dose of vitamin C. As far as “starchy sides” go, squash is a calorie bargain: just 80 calories per cup. (The same amount of sweet potato will cost you 180 calories.)
Apples:
Low in calories and high in fiber (95 calories and 4 grams of fiber per medium fruit), apples are satisfying and sweet. And in a recent study from Florida State University, dried apples also helped participants lose weight. Women who ate a cup of dried apples daily for a year lost weight and lowered their cholesterol. The researchers think that antioxidants and pectin (a type of fiber) may be responsible for the benefits—and say fresh apples probably would be even more effective.
