Every other day we are warned about the foods we eat as they may cause illnesses or sometimes prevent. With every step to better health, diet is the first thing that one needs to change their health. I am a firm believer in using natural remedies before using drugs for anything. So we are going to explore the different foods you need to eat in order to get yourself a healthier and happier lifestyle.

We have complied some foods and fruits that will help you lose weight to get you going. In this article we explore some of the best fat burning foods so that you can include them in your diet.

1. Tomatoes: Most people are still confused about tomatoes, is it a fruit or a vegetable? All that does not matter. All you need to know is that it’s got tons of good things for your body for the long term; it works to help you lose weight and help keep it off. They do this by keeping you full for a longer time and they’re low on the calorie meter. Besides weight loss, it has lycopene which brings antioxidants that studies show to be helpful with a number of diseases and conditions. So next time you go shopping, do not forget your tomatoes.

2. Oranges: In school, we were always reminded that oranges are good for vitamin C. But if you’re looking to burn fat despite the fact that oranges have a lot of sugar, keep in mind that the calorie count is low and the fibre is used to regulate your blood glucose levels. If you would like an orange to be useful to you then you could use it to curb your sweet tooth when you’re tempted to have some chocolate. Health And Nutritional Benefits Of Oranges

3. Oats: Oats make you feel fuller for longer. It is also packed with antioxidants and the minerals oats contain make it a solid choice and not just a source of fibre. If you’re planning on cutting down cholesterol this is also the way to go. Lifestyle: 6 Health Benefits Of Oats

4. Spices: bland food is simply boring especially when you are trying to lose weight. This is the best time to experiment with spices. Many of them boost your metabolism while making some dishes such as lentils or githeri more interesting. For example, the mustard seed will spice up your entrée and get your metabolism going. Spices such as ginger can help with your digestion and black pepper can help burn calories. Turmeric is not only best for your rice; it will help to break some fat up.

All of these spices help with your metabolism in one way or another – ginger, cloves, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, cumin and garlic.

5. Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes have fewer calories and also help you stay satisfied between meals. This also helps with roughage as it has fibre, vitamin c, potassium and vitamin B6. Health And Nutritional Benefits Of Sweet Potatoes

6. Apples: an apple a day keeps the doctor away. This sweet fruit help conquers sweet cravings and it’s easy to see why they end up in a lot of desserts. But they are low in all of the things that you want them to be like calories, fat and sodium. They have a good amount of fibre. The fibre helps keep you full. Be sure to chew your apple well before swallowing and make it a point to buy organic ones. Health: 6 Reasons To Include Apples In Your Diet

7. Bananas: These fruits are all around us, sold on the streets, supermarkets and most likely they can be found in your village. When having your oatmeal add a banana to it and give your oatmeal a different flavour. Banana is one of the fruits you should have as a quick grab when you need something sweet or on-the-go. Just have one a day as they are a source of sugar as well. Bananas Are Good For Your Health – Here Is Why You Need To Eat More Of This Delicious Fruit

8. Broccoli: They can help you shed some fat. Broccoli fills you up, but apart from being just fuller, it has tons of nutrients per pound. It’s packed with fibre so it keeps you regular, which keeps you feeling good. If you’d like for it to work better, simply boil a bit and enjoy your broccoli. Superfoods: 7 Health Benefits Of Broccoli

9. Spinach: You can find it at mama mboga’s from 5 shillings going up. You can eat it fresh as a salad or fry it. It works for weight loss by adding bulk to your stomach without tacking on the calories. Lifestyle: The Benefits Of Spinach

10. Avocado: for some time most people have been warned that avocados are fattening. But not all fats are bad fats. This fruit has good fats that are good for your skin and reproductive system, try and avoid adding mayonnaise and other ingredients to it. Add it to your meals instead as it comes.
