Are you one of the countless people, who have gone through frustrating methods to shed those extra pounds? Was gym sessions too tiresome, dance too cumbersome and yoga just impossible? Read on before you starve yourself.
Diet control is a torture to anyone worth his salt. The drill is not as tough as you might think. You can relish your favorite food and yet control your diet! All you need to know is a list of wonderful foods that help you stay lean.
These foods have a miraculous way of increasing your metabolism and burn up calories. They make you feel full and decreases your gluttony.
Grapes
Grapes contain high levels of vitamin K and vitamin C. Even if you hog down 30 or 40 grapes, you hardly take in 100 calories. Nibble on grapes instead of going for biscuits and other fat-laden snacks. You can even chew on grape seeds. They are edible and rich in anti-oxidants. Grapes are good for people with hypertension, constipation and allergy-related issues.
Idli
When it comes to breakfast, there are few other foods that can beat the good old idli. Prefer semolina (sooji or rawa) to rice when you make idli. They are fiber-laden and fat-free. They will help you feel full for a longer part of the day.
Sprouts
Include lots of sprouted grains and beans in your diet. Sprouts are a rich source of magnesium, protein, vitamin B and fiber. When sprouted, wheat, ragi, corn and lentils multiply their nutritious value. They help you lose weight.
Almonds
Almonds are a rich source of vitamin E. They also have lots of calcium, iron and monosaturated fatty acids. Eating almonds ahead of a meal will lower your appetite.
Yogurt
If the yogurt is processed from pure cow milk, then there is nothing like it. Make it a part of your daily diet and see the results for yourself. Yogurt only has 56 calories per 100 grams. Yet they make you feel full for a long time.
Dark chocolate
If you are on the heavier side, gobble those dark chocolates. Eating a piece of dark chocolate before a meal will slow down your digestion process. You will not feel hungry for a long time.
Go ahead and try these superfoods for two weeks at least. Judge their effects for yourself.
