Best Foods for Your Weight

1. Raw Fruits and Vegetables
Every time you're eating RAW fruits & vegetables You're losing weight because of the negative calorie effect so for example.: When you eat an 85 calorie apple - Your body may have to burn 95 calories to digest that apple so in this example you'd burn 10 calories every time you'd eat an apple so the more RAW fruits & veggies you eat the easier it'll be for you to maintain your weight and if you eat lots of fruits & veggies while on a weight loss plan - you'll lose weight much faster and here's another quick fact: Your body burns 16% more calories after you eat a meal that's mostly fruits & vegetables than if you ate a meal without any fruits or vegetables plus Fruits & vegetables high in vitamin C like Oranges, lemons, pineapples, grapefruit, apples, limes, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, celery, carrot, and watermelon liquefy (or burn off) body fat so the fat can be easily flushed out of your body.
2. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is loaded with fiber that prevents your body from storing fat and the fiber in oatmeal decreases your appetite to make you NOT gain weight and if you eat oatmeal about 1-to-2 hours before doing a weight loss workout. Oatmeal will give you a longer lasting blast of energy that helps you workout longer & more intensely which helps you lose weight much faster. *Tip: it's better to eat plain or natural oats & not flavored oatmeal packets.
3. Dairy products
Dairy products or foods high in calcium like Low-fat yogurt, cheese, & milk breakdown fat cells faster and in a recent study people who ate low-fat dairy products 3-to-4 times a day lost 70% more fat than people on a low-dairy diet and scientist also believe that foods high in calcium suppress calcitriol, a hormone responsible for making fat cells bigger and other studies have shown that dairy products contain high quality proteins that help suppress appetite.
4. Any kind of raw nuts
Eat any kind of nuts for fiber to ward off hunger and to also get a good dose of protein & healthy Omega-3s fats to help you burn fat faster & produce more testosterone but make sure you eat raw & organic nuts instead of roasted & salted to get the full weight loss benefits.
5. Apples
Eat apples so the pectin found in apples can prevent your body from absorbing too much fat and the pectin from apples causes your body to release fat and like Hoodia. Pectin is also a strong appetite suppressant that keeps you satisfied for long periods of time causing you not to overeat so you won't gain weight and in a study done in Brazil: People who had 1 whole apple before each meal lost 33% more weight than a group of people who didn't eat apples.
6. Fish
Eat more fish like Salmon, Tuna, and Sardines to make your body more sensitive to a fat-burning hormone called Leptin (Leptin means "thin" in Greek). Leptin determines whether you store the calories you eat as fat or if you burn the calories you eat for energy and since these fish are high in protein - it'll make you feel full stabilize blood sugar, makes you feel full and helps stimulate metabolism.

7. Lean Proteins
Eat more lean proteins like fish, baked poultry, and whey protein to build more lean muscle that'll make your metabolism higher so you can burn off more fat and your body burns the most calories digesting protein than any other type of food (with the exception of fruits & vegetables).
8. Resistant starch
Resistant starch is just another kind of dietary fiber but According to a study done at the University of Colorado: You'll burn 20-to-30% more fat by including more foods loaded with resistant starch like navy beans, Bananas, Potatoes, Lentils, Oatmeal & Wholegrain breads in your meals and resistant starch also prevents your body from storing too much fat and like other types of dietary fiber... Resistant starch also makes you feel fuller longer so you'll never gain weight (and only lose weight).
