• Food varies not only in terms of gastronomical preferences but taking into consideration one’s health and fitness is another. These foods will surely make a difference when you really want to shed those extra pounds.

  1. ALWAY KEEP YOUR COFFEE BLACK! (It’s okay if it’s not like your soul. :P)

  

  A cup of coffee has nearly zero calories. While a cup of coffee with cream and sugar has 80 calories that will surely make you gain more weight. If you drink two cups a day, learning to take it black will save you 14 pounds in a year!

  2. AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!

  

  Apples and pears are low in calories, yet packed with fiber which can help you feel full and control your appetite. Furthermore, the high pectin levels in apples can slow digestion and create a feeling of fullness while pears contain 12 percent of your daily suggested intake of vitamin C, which health researchers suggest can help maintain a low body fat percentage.

  3. IF LIFE GIVES YOU CALORIES, GIVE ‘EM SOME LEMONS!

  

  Drinking lemon water is regarded by many professional nutritionists as having real and palpable weight-loss powers. Far from a weight loss myth, but, rather, a weight loss reality, drinking lemon water helps to speed up weight loss. In addition to possessing properties that are favorable to weight loss, drinking lemon water also ensures that some of the toxins in your body are cleaned out, promotes quick bursts of energy and even cleans out some of your internal waste. If you drink lemon water in the morning especially, it will help to activate your body’s detoxifying process and also its natural cleansing process. This principle works proportionally, so the more lemon water you drink, the more you ought to speed up weight loss.

  4. HATERS GONNA HATE, POTATOES GONNA POTATE!

  

  Sweet potatoes or kamote have tons of fiber and water which means, they fill you up without filling you out. But also, they taste amazing, creamy and delicious so they satisfy your comfort food cravings for way fewer calories than anything gooey and cheesy would. Just don’t load them up with tons of fatty toppings like butter or bacon, or you’ll negate their slimming power!

  But be mindful of eating. Do it moderately because too much of everything will do you no good and of course be conscious of our calories intake.
