It sounds like a dream come true for anyone who has ever tried to lose a few kilos. Let’s admit that a good mood leaves with an empty stomach. We are exposed to great temptation every time we look into the refrigerator. In our heads runs a list of all the good things we could have, if only we allowed ourselves.
There is a solution. You can indulge in some low-calorie foods.
Main representatives are:
- Vegetables
- Fruit
- Legumes
- Protein
Arugula, green lettuce
With these vegetables you provide your body with almost no calories, but only vitamins A, C, folic acid and iron. You definitely won’t gain weight, even if you consume them in unlimited quantities.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, celery
Tomatoes contain lycopene, a well-known antioxidant that supports the immune system. Together with celery and cucumber you give the body vitamins A, B, C, K, folic acid, chromium and potassium. These vegetables have almost no calories. Do not peel cucumbers; you’ll benefit your health even more.
Cauliflower, broccoli, kale
These vegetables are also almost calorie-free and high in water content, and are healthiest raw. They contain vitamins A, C, E, K, iodine and fiber. They can easily help you overcome hunger.
Melon
Something for those who love sweets. It is 90% water, but contains more than half the recommended daily intake of vitamins A and C.
Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries
Excellent antioxidants, with a high proportion of fiber and vitamins A, B, C. With these low-calorie fruits you definitely will not gain weight.
Orange, grapefruit
We should eat these fruits not only because they taste great, but because they are rich in fiber and contain vitamin C. For example, grapefruit will be a great help in stabilizing your blood sugar levels. Eating these fruits isn’t a dietary transgression.
Green peas
Peas contain very few calories — about 81 kcal per 100 g — and are rich in fiber and protein.
Popcorn
Treat yourself to a bowl of popped corn in the evening, which you can easily prepare without fat in the microwave or in an ordinary pot. You will provide your body with several trace elements and much-needed fiber.
Eggs
Protein is a basic building block for your body, and you certainly won’t gain weight from it. It is found in, for example, eggs. For a healthier dinner you can do more than just mix a few egg whites with tomatoes. If you avoid fat, you’ll have a healthy, diet-friendly omelet.
We have shown several foods that will make your weight loss easier. They can chase away cravings for sweets, hunger, or just the long boredom in front of the TV. Remember them before you reach for the chips.
