Best Foods for Weight Loss
No 'magic foods' but certain foods make weight loss easier through satiety, low calorie density, or thermic effect. High-protein, high-fiber, low-calorie-dense foods = your toolkit.
Top Picks
Eggs (high satiety + protein). Greek yogurt. Chicken breast. Salmon (omega-3 + protein). Lentils, beans (fiber + protein). Oats (beta-glucan satiety). Berries (low calorie + antioxidants). Leafy greens (almost free calories). Cucumber, celery (volume eaters). Nuts in moderation (small portion = big satiety).
Foods to Limit
Sugary drinks (empty calories, no satiety). Refined carbs (quick hunger return). Processed snacks. Liquid calories (juice, sweetened coffee).
