There are certain foods that promote weight loss when ingested. The most important factor in losing weight is your diet, above exercise and above supplements. In this article I will describe healthy foods for weight loss.

The reason these foods work is because your body burns calories by digesting the food. Certain foods require more calories to be burned in order to digest them. These foods are not the whole puzzle. They should be combined into your current diet or exercise program for maximum results.

Green tea: Most people drink a cup of coffee or tea in the morning. Whatever you are doing replace it with green tea. There are chemicals in green tea that burn fat. Getting into the scope of how and why these chemicals burn fat is beyond this article. In addition to the fat-burning properties, it also offers powerful antioxidants and other health benefits.

Peanut Butter: ALL NATURAL peanut butter. We are not talking about Jiffy here. Buy the all-natural peanut butter where the oil is on top. A great snack combination is celery and peanut butter. Not only will it help you burn fat, but the fiber will suppress your appetite.

Almonds: Almonds contain good fats. Almonds are one of the energy foods in the abs diet. It is rich in fatty acids (a good thing) and protein. Try to consume a handful of almonds a day. I like to mash them in my oatmeal.

Beans: Beans are rich in fiber and help keep you full. The good list of beans are kidney beans, navy beans, navy beans, and lima beans. I have found that beans are very helpful in suppressing my appetite.

Make sure to add them to a diet plan that you will really stick with. The best diet is one that you can really stick to in the long run. If you can’t afford a nutritionist or diet program to perfectly plan your meal plans, then it may be due to a great deal of trial and error.
