Plant-based proteins like legumes, beans and lentils have the same benefits, and they’re high in fiber as well, so they promote satiety.
Eggs:
Eggs contain almost every essential vitamin (with the exception of Vitamin C), plus minerals like phosphorus, calcium and potassium.
Vegetables:
Vegetables of all kinds can assist with weight loss. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage are high in fiber and vitamins and help reduce digestive issues.
Avocados:
The fruit is high in fiber and is a quality source of healthy fat, making it a great food for decreasing hunger.
Apples:
Apples are high in fiber and antioxidants, says Feit. The fruit also has anti-inflammatory properties and contains phytochemicals and vitamin C.
Berries:
Berries are high in fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C—all things that your body needs to function optimally, says Feit.
Nuts and Seeds:
All nuts are a good source of fiber, protein and healthy fat, and they help decrease hunger. Meanwhile, seeds are a great source of minerals and healthy fat.
Raw Oats:
Raw oats are full of resistant starch—a type of starch that resists digestion—which is very weight loss-friendly.
Legumes:
Their high fiber content keeps you feeling fuller for longer, which prevents overeating. Plus, they contain nutrients that nourish your gut bacteria, too.
Water:
Water isn’t a food, but it’s just as important when it comes to healthy weight loss.
