Eggs have long been demonized because they were said to affect cholesterol negatively. Today we have new studies that indicate that this is not true, the eggs do not negatively affect blood cholesterol or cause heart attacks (thank goodness, because I take 6 every day, 2 whole). Eggs are also among the most suitable foods when we want to lose weight. They are rich in protein, good fats, and can make us feel satiated and therefore eat fewer calories. A study with 30 women found that when eating eggs for breakfast, instead of rolls, satiety was increased and less was achieved in the 36 hours after. Another study found that taking eggs for 8 weeks increased weight loss in a diet restricted in calories. In addition, eggs are a nutrient-rich food and can help you get all the nutrients you need when you are on a low-calorie diet. It is also important that you know that a large part of these 3/22

5.- THE MIGRAINE MEAT AND THE CHICKEN BREAST
6/22
Meat has been another food that has been treated unfairly. She has been blamed for being responsible for all kinds of diseases when the reality is that there are no studies that support these claims. Studies have shown that unprocessed red meat does not raise the risk of heart disease or diabetes. According to two large review studies, red meat has only a small correlation with cancer in men and no correlation in women. Without a doubt, meat is great food when we try to lose weight since it is high in proteins. The protein is a nutrient that provides satiety. By taking a diet high in protein we get to burn up to 100 calories more per day. Studies have shown that taking 25-30% of our calories in the form of proteins can reduce anxiety by 60%, reduce the desire to snack between meals and help lose weight by almost 0.7 kilos a week, just by adding protein to your diet. If you are on a low carb diet, do not hesitate to take fatty meats. If you are taking a diet high in 7/22
carbohydrates, it is better that you opt for lean meats.

For some unknown reason, potatoes have fallen out of favor. However, they have great properties that make them perfect food, both to lose weight and to have good health. They contain a lot of nutrients, a little of almost all we need. There are known cases of people who have lived a lot of time eating only potatoes. They are rich in potassium, a nutrient that a large part of the population lacks and which plays an important role in the control of blood pressure. There is a scale to measure satiety of foods, which indicates that boiled potatoes are the most satisfying food of all analyzed. This indicates that when eating potatoes we will feel more satiated and eat less quantity of other foods. 8/22
If you boil potatoes, it is good to let them cool down a bit, in this way they will form large amounts of resistant starch, a substance similar to fiber that has been shown to have great health benefits, including weight loss. Sweet potatoes, turnips and other root vegetables are also excellent.
7.- TUNA
Tuna is another protein-rich, low-calorie food. It's lean fish, so it does not have much fat. Tuna is a food widely used by people who do bodybuilding, as it is a great way to get protein with little fat.

These foods are usually high in protein and fiber, two nutrients that have been shown to increase our satiety. They also usually have some resistant starch. The problem they have is that many people have problems tolerating legumes. Therefore, it is very important to prepare them well.
9.- SOUP
10/22
As we have said before, meals and diets with low energy density make us eat fewer calories. Most foods that have low energy density are those that contain a lot of water, such as fruits and vegetables. But you can also get it by adding water to your meals, that is, making a soup. Some studies have shown that eating the same food, with the exception of being made in soup and not in a solid way, makes us feel more satiated and eat fewer calories.

Dairy products are also high in calcium, which has been shown to help burn fat.
11.- THE Avocados
12/22
Avocados are a unique fruit. This is because most fruits are high in carbohydrates, while avocados are rich in good fats. Avocados are especially rich in monounsaturated oleic acid, the same type of fat that olive oil has. Despite being mostly fat, it also has a large amount of water, so it is not as dense as we might think. Avocados are perfect to add in salads since studies show that the fats they contain increase the absorption of nutrients from vegetables from 2.6 to 15 times. They also contain other important nutrients, such as fiber and potassium.
12.- APPLE VINEGAR
13/22
Apple cider vinegar is highly recognized among people in the world of natural health. It is usually used for condiments, such as dressings or vinaigrettes. Some people even dilute it in water and drink it. Several studies in humans suggest that vinegar may be useful for people who are trying to lose weight. Taking vinegar while eating a meal rich in carbohydrates, you can increase the feeling of fullness and reduce by 250 the calories ingested during the rest of the day. A study with obese people also showed that taking 15 to 30 ml of vinegar a day for 12 weeks achieved a weight loss of about 1.5 kilos. It has also been shown that vinegar manages to reduce blood sugar peaks after meals, which is very beneficial for health.

14.- SOME WHOLE GRAINS
15/22
Although the pimples have taken a bad name in recent times, it must be said that some are healthy. This includes some that do not have gluten, are full of fiber and contain a lot of protein. As an example, we have oats, brown rice and quinoa. Oats are rich in beta-glucans, soluble fibers that have been shown to increase satiety and improve metabolic health. There are grains of different colors, and usually contain good amounts of resistant starch, especially if after cooking it was allowed to cool. Beware of refined grains, sometimes on the label, it puts Âťwhole grainsÂť and is actually a processed grain harmful to health and that causes us to get fat. If you are on a very low carbohydrate diet, then you should avoid the grains, as they are high in carbohydrates. But there is nothing wrong with taking them if you tolerate them well and are not on a low carb diet. 16/22
15 - Chili pepper
Eating chilies are also useful when we want to lose weight. This is because they contain capsaicin, which has been shown in some studies to help reduce appetite and increase fat burning. Capsaicin is a substance that is usually present in many weight loss pills. One study showed that taking 1 gram of red pepper reduced appetite and increased fat burning in people who did not often eat peppers. It must also be said that no results were seen in people who used to take peppers frequently.
16.- FRUITS
17/22
Most experts agree that the fruit is healthy. Many studies have shown that people who take a lot of fruit are healthier people than those who do not. It has also been proven that fruit works well in weight loss programs. Although they are high in sugar, they have low energy density and we need time to chew them. The fiber in the fruit helps prevent the sugar from being released too quickly into the bloodstream. Those people who should minimize the consumption of fruit are those who are on a diet low in carbohydrates, in a ketogenic diet, or who have fructose intolerance.
For the rest of people, the fruit can be an excellent food to strengthen health and to include it in a diet of weight loss. 18/22
17.- Grapefruit
A fruit that deserves to be highlighted is grapefruit, which is known to have positive effects on weight control.

18 - CHIA SEEDS
19/22
Chia seeds are one of the most nutritious foods that exist. They contain 12 grams of carbohydrates every 27 grams, and it is one of the best sources of fiber in the world. Because of this fiber content, chia seeds can absorb up to 12 times their weight in water, creating a gel that expands in our stomach. Some studies have shown that chia seeds help reduce appetite, although what has not been confirmed is that they have a significant effect on weight loss. Due to the composition of nutrients that Chia seeds have, it makes sense to say that they can be very useful in a weight loss diet.
19 - COCONUT OIL
20/22
Not all fats are the same. Coconut oil is rich in medium-length fatty acids, which is known as medium chain triglycerides. It has been shown that these fatty acids increase satiety compared to other fats, they also increase the number of calories burned. There are two studies, one with men and the other with women, that show that coconut oil causes reduction of belly fat.

Another excellent dairy product is yogurt. This food contains probiotic bacteria that help improve bowel function. Having a healthy bowel helps in protecting against inflammation and resistance to insulin, the main hormonal driver of obesity.
