It’s hard to know what to eat to lose weight – protein or carbohydrates? No fat? low fat? Dairy? With every diet plan there’s differing advice on what we should or shouldn’t eat.  To find the best diet plan for you be sure to read “Best Weight Loss Methods. In the meantime, read on for some smart choices that could help you lose weight.

Strawberries – a cup of strawberries has more vitamin c than an orange. With Vitamin C we can get rid of those “fat-packing” toxins and speed fat burning.

Spinach — High in calcium and only 41 calories per cup. Calcium assists in decreasing the production of the hormones that promote storage of belly fat. Calcium helps rid your body of fats before they can be absorbed.

Mangoes — High in the slowly digested soluble fiber that can help curb cravings. Just one mango has been found to bind dietary fats and ridding them from the body by as much as 90 fat calories every day.

Dark chocolate — Yippee!! Eat chocolate and lose weight!! Rich in flavanols, dark chocolate also contains natural substances that convert sugar into fuel and not into belly fat.

Clementines — With only 40 calories each and 150% of the rda of Vitamin C this is a dieter’s dream. Vitamin C is also known to help synthesize carnitine — a fat burning amino acid — as well as help the lymphatic system eliminate toxins and excess fluids.

Sweet potatoes – Higher in potassium than bananas. Potassium plays a key role in helping the kidneys eliminate fluid, resulting in less bloating. They also contain betaine which rids fatty deposits from the liver to help break down belly fat.

(For even more help with losing weight be sure to read my review of “Strip That Fat.”)

Plums – Help prevent fat from settling in the belly, hips and thighs. High in vitamin C, plums also help us produce bile. Bile helps with ridding our bodies of fat molecules before they are absorbed.

Tilapia — At only 110 calories per 3 ounces and a full 22 mg of protein this affordable fish is a great choice. It’s also known for its low levels of mercury.

Almonds — A great diet snack you can grab ‘n go. Not only do almonds help lower the “bad” ldl cholesterol, they help curb hunger.

Apples – Not just an apple a day but an apple before each meal has been shown to help with greater weight loss. The pectin in apples is a soluble fiber which slows the release of sugar into our bloodstream.

Raspberries — Has lots of vitamin C. They’re also packed with manganese which helps produce an enzyme that quickly converts fat into energy resulting in a metabolism boost.

Avocados — They’re high in “good fat” and help keep down cortisol levels which, in turn, help reduce belly fat.

Cherries — They’ll help block fat storage and keep you feeling full longer due to their high pectin content. Eating foods high in pectin helps boost weight loss up to 38%.

There are many more foods to choose from that can help you lose weight. These are healthy choices that can add a little variety to your diet plan.
