Foods for Weight Loss

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar contains acetate, which studies have shown can help improve digestion, burn fat and suppress appetite.

Avocado

Avocados contain monosaturated fats, which are burned more quickly than many other types of fats. Some studies indicate that eating monosaturated fats might actually make the body burn more calories later on, and can reduce appetite.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a rich source of fiber, which aids in digestion and keeps you full for a long time.

Grapefruit

Studies have shown that grapefruit can help the body burn fat. In one study, adults who ate half a grapefruit before their meals each day lost more weight over a 12-week period than those who ate nothing.

Potatoes

Potatoes get a bad reputation, but if prepared healthfully without added oils or fats, these vegetables can actually aid in weight loss. They're low in calories, with only 163 calories for a medium potato, and are rich in carbs and starches that help keep you full for a long time.

Chickpeas

Chickpeas are rich in protein and fiber, both of which keep you full for a long time and are important nutrients when it comes to weight loss.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil helps curb appetite and contains fatty acids called medium-chain triglycerides, which are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and less likey to be stored as fat.

Nuts

While nuts are high in calories they also contain magnesium, which helps regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.

Spinach

Spinach is low in calories but high in fiber, which helps keep you full for a long time.
