It's time to leave the industrial cakes, refined sugars, bad fats and all those foods responsible for love handles and little buoy on the belly. From breakfast to dinner, it is essential to put on your plate foods that are much more
beneficial and interesting for your body and
your health .
Obviously there are a large number of very interesting foods to integrate into your diet as part of weight loss! Today we have selected
5 foods that we recommend that you consume on a daily basis when you want to slim down and that you will not be able to do without.
-
Oatmeal
Rolled oats are the perfect substitute for the classic morning toast, bread or rusks that most people eat. Unlike these foods, oat flakes have a
lower glycemic index (GI = 60 which favors a more stable blood sugar level), they contain an
interesting quantity of vegetable proteins and are a
source of many minerals such as zinc, magnesium but also
vitamins . In addition, rich in fiber, they allow you to hold on until lunch and thus avoid morning cravings, enemies of weight loss.
How to consume them? Use, preferably, wholemeal oats in many recipes instead of flour! Bowlcake, pancakes, porridge, cookies, cereal bars, mueslis and even cakes!
-
Almonds
The ideal partner for your snacks! Almonds are part of the
oilseed family and are a
good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (lipids) which make them satiating. Almonds are
rich in Omega 3 ,
fiber ,
vitamin E. In addition, it is
the most protein-rich nut , which allows you to increase your protein intake during your day:
proteins play an essential role in a weight loss objective , because they are the ones that will allow you to maintain and even develop your muscle mass for a more toned and defined body.
How to consume them?
Alone or incorporated into dishes such as meat, fish, yogurt, homemade muesli and even in salads.
(To buy without salt of course!)
-
Yam
A cousin of the potato, the sweet potato has many nutritional qualities. Compared to potatoes, sweet potatoes have a
very low glycemic index (GI = 50). It is rich in
starch ,
fiber and contains many
micronutrients. Sweet potato is the perfect partner for health, beautiful skin and weight loss. Its small advantage? It is
very satiating and lower in calories than classic starchy foods or potatoes. It is an essential food for weight loss, full of flavors and that can be used for multiple recipes.
How to consume them?
In the oven, mashed potatoes, fries, crisps, pies and even in cake recipes!
-
Eggs _
Eggs are the
best source of complete, high-quality protein there is. These proteins are mainly in the white but the yolk also contains them. Eggs are also
very satiating thanks to their high protein and lipid (egg yolk) content. We know them to be the breakfast of athletes, they are just as much for anyone who wants to lose weight.
Did you know ? you can consume it every day without any problem. The cholesterol contained in eggs as in all our foods has absolutely nothing to do with the blood cholesterol that we have in the body. Just like eating high fat foods like salmon, olive oil or avocado will not turn into body fat.
How to consume them? Preferably cooked because only half of the proteins are assimilated when raw. On the dish, scrambled, in a bowlcake or breakfast pancakes, poached, calves or in a sweet or savory omelet!
-
Broccoli
Broccoli is a vegetable that has few carbohydrates, even less fat, but lots of
fiber . All vegetables are
extremely important if you want to lose weight . They allow you to be satiated very quickly and are rich in water. So why broccoli rather than another? Because broccoli contains more vitamins and minerals than most other vegetables. Even if it means losing weight, you might as well take care of your health!
How to consume it?
Steamed, mashed, casserole, au gratin, in pies and even raw!
