Top Ten Weight Loss Foods

Obesity can be very harmful to a person, not only affecting other aspects of physical health, but also possibly causing many diseases, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and difficulty in movement. Therefore, for those who are overweight, it is very important to actively lose weight to avoid the troubles of obesity. At the same time, we know that there are many methods for weight loss, and dietary therapy can be said to be the most easily accepted method of weight loss.

There are many foods that can help you lose weight in life, such as lamb and fish. As long as you eat them scientifically, they can actually have a good weight-loss effect. Let's share with everyone ten foods that are helpful for weight loss below.

1. Lamb It is incredible, but I found that wolves eat sheep, sheep eat grass, and sheep get fat while wolves get thin. In fact, all types of meat are beneficial for weight loss, and lamb may be the most weight-loss-friendly meat food at present. Because sheep still mainly eat grass, lamb not only does not contain hormones and antibiotics, but is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and L-carnitine.

Research has found that the content of L-carnitine in lamb is 3-4 times that of beef, and 6-8 times (even more than 10 times, depending on what they eat) that of pork. One study shows that in every 100 In lean meat, pork contains 21 milligrams of L-carnitine, beef contains 95 milligrams, and lamb contains up to 281 milligrams.

Hint: If you don't like lamb, choose beef next, followed by pork and chicken. Some people say that eating lamb causes heat, which is because it is overcooked, such as fried or with chili. My favorite is the Mongolian 'Hand-held Lamb', boiled in plain water and eaten with garlic, or a little salt, and it won't cause heat even if eaten every day.

If you eat meat while eating rice or noodles, it will not help you lose weight, and may even cause weight gain. I have never seen a tiger that eats only meat get fat, including in zoos, but I have seen a large omnivorous bear get fat.

2. Fish meat All types of fish are beneficial for weight loss, especially wild or deep-sea fish. I am particularly fond of deep-sea fish, especially salmon. Wild or deep-sea fish not only do not contain hormones and antibiotics, but are rich in a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA, which are both helpful for weight loss and can help lower blood lipids and protect the heart.

Hint: The best way to cook fish is to eat it raw, steam it, or boil it, as frying, roasting, or frying it can destroy the omega-3 fatty acids in it. I myself prefer to eat fish raw or steam it, and in my opinion, frying, stir-frying, or deep-frying fish—especially deep-frying—is a sin, showing great disrespect to the fish and harm to people.

3. Eggs All types of eggs are beneficial for weight loss, especially truly free-range eggs. What are truly free-range eggs? Eggs laid by hens that eat insects, grass, move freely, are happy, and are accompanied by roosters, which I call 'Five Good Eggs'. Because 'Five Good Eggs' not only do not contain hormones and antibiotics, but are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, with a content that can reach 20 times that of commercially raised eggs.

Tip: The yolks of truly free-range eggs are very dark and small, and you can eat 2-6 eggs every day. As long as your cooking methods are limited to raw, steamed, or boiled, eating more eggs will not cause an increase in serum cholesterol. There is no problem with natural cholesterol, but oxidized cholesterol is the culprit.

4. Green Leafy Vegetables There are many kinds of vegetables, most of which are beneficial for weight loss, while a few can increase weight. All green leafy vegetables are beneficial for weight loss, and starchy vegetables like potatoes can increase weight. Among green leafy vegetables, purslane may be the most beneficial food for weight loss, as purslane is estimated to be the vegetable with the highest content of omega-3 fatty acids currently discovered.

Tip: Eating a plate of green leafy vegetables raw before meals is the best for weight loss. Why eat green leafy vegetables raw? Because this way, you can absorb the complete enzymes, chlorophyll, vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fibers, which help with digestion, improve metabolism, and control appetite.

5. Seaweed Seafood is generally beneficial for weight loss, and seaweed may be the most beneficial seafood for weight loss. Seaweed is estimated to be the most iodine-rich food on Earth, and the thyroid, which is responsible for regulating the speed of metabolism, cannot do without iodine. A lack of iodine is an important reason for some people's obesity, leading to hypothyroidism.

You don't have to worry that eating seaweed often will lead to hyperthyroidism. Our neighbors, the Japanese, love to eat seafood, including seaweed, and can consume up to 3000 micrograms of iodine every day, which is 20 times the recommended daily iodine intake, but their incidence of thyroid diseases is very low. In fact, your body has the ability to metabolize and balance natural organic iodine, and only excessive intake of inorganic iodine added artificially (such as iodized salt) can lead to hyperthyroidism.

Tip: Seaweed can be eaten raw in salads or made into soups. Do not soak seaweed in water for more than 3 minutes, as iodine will be lost in large quantities. When making seaweed soup, it is best to add the seaweed after the soup has boiled, and turn off the heat after a few minutes.

6. Grapefruit There are many kinds of fruits, some can increase weight, and some can help with weight loss. Only grapefruits are unique, and they may be one of the most beneficial fruits for weight loss. Grapefruits are not only rare low-sugar fruits but also rich in dietary fibers, making them very suitable for weight losers and diabetes patients.

Tip: You can eat 1-3 grapefruits every day, and eating them before meals will have a better weight loss effect. If you don't like grapefruits, you can choose cherries, strawberries, or pitaya.

7. Walnut Most nuts are beneficial for weight loss, and walnuts may be one of the most beneficial nuts for weight loss. Walnuts are rich in high-quality fats, proteins, and dietary fibers, and are the nuts with the highest content of alpha-linolenic acid. Alpha-linolenic acid belongs to omega-3 fatty acids, which are not only beneficial for weight loss but also help to lower blood lipids, protect the heart and brain.

Tip: Eating 5-10 walnuts every day can help with weight loss and lowering cholesterol. Choose shelled raw walnuts, and eat them freshly pressed to avoid the oxidation of alpha-linolenic acid. Raw walnuts, almonds, and peanuts are the best snacks for weight losers.

8. Flaxseed Oil Flaxseed oil is the most beneficial plant oil for weight loss, while fish oil is the most beneficial animal oil for weight loss. In his renowned book 'Omega Diet', Dr. Simopoulos, former chair of the National Institutes of Health (NHI) Nutrition Collaboration Committee, points out that a study on animals found that mice fed on omega-6 fats gained the most weight, while mice fed on omega-3 fats were the thinnest. The weight difference between mice fed on soybean oil and fish oil is equivalent to the difference between a 102-kilogram man and a 68-kilogram man.

(Specifically, despite consuming the same amount of fat and calories, the weight of mice fed on a soybean oil diet was 45 grams, the weight of mice fed on a lard diet was 40 grams, the weight of mice fed on safflower oil diet was about 33 grams, and the weight of mice fed on fish oil diet was only 26 grams.)

Unconsciously, Chinese people have become guinea pigs in experiments, becoming fatter and fatter. Now, the most oil we eat every day is soybean oil, because the main component of salad oil and blended oil on the market is generally soybean oil. Dear friends, for weight loss, your best choice is 'land fish oil' - flaxseed oil.

Tip: Choose cold-pressed, glass-bottled flaxseed oil and consume 20-30 milliliters daily. You will find that using flaxseed oil to dress raw green leafy vegetables before meals is the most effective.

Cocoa powder Most beverages will increase weight, but cocoa powder is a rare exception. Cocoa powder may be the most beneficial nutritional beverage for weight loss, as it is rich in high protein, high fiber, high polyphenols, and a large amount of iron. In 100 grams of pure natural cocoa powder, there are up to about 30 grams of protein, more than 20 grams of dietary fiber, and about 15 grams of cocoa polyphenols, as well as 36 milligrams of iron, which is equivalent to 200% of the recommended daily iron intake.

Cocoa polyphenols mainly include antioxidants such as procyanidins and catechins. The brownish-red color of cocoa is due to its rich procyanidins and iron elements. Procyanidins can protect vascular endothelial cells, promote the formation of nitric oxide molecules, naturally expand blood vessels, improve blood circulation, and the iron element in red blood cells can carry oxygen, accelerate fat burning. In addition, the iron element can also help your body synthesize L-carnitine.

In the best-selling book 'Eat to Live Without Medicine', American health science writer Nina Planck points out:

The cacao tree is an unusual tree. Cocoa powder contains a large amount of calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, and more iron than any vegetable. It is also rich in polyphenols, especially a group of flavonoids that give red wine, berries, and tea their rich colors. These antioxidants promote vascular health, prevent LDL oxidation, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, and combat cancer. A 50-gram chocolate bar contains as many antioxidants as a glass of red wine. Polyphenols are present in the solid part of cocoa, not in cocoa butter. Therefore, pure cocoa powder contains more antioxidants than dark chocolate, followed by milk chocolate. As for white chocolate, which is made entirely without cocoa powder and only with cocoa butter, it contains none at all.

The polyphenols in cocoa may prevent obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, all of which are risk factors for heart disease. A report in the journal 'American Clinical Nutrition' in 2005 stated that consuming 100 grams of dark chocolate daily can lower blood pressure and significantly improve sugar metabolism by improving the body's sensitivity to insulin, but white chocolate does not have the same effect.

Tip: Choose sugar-free and trans-fat-free cocoa powder, as sugar and trans fats (such as emulsifiers) can increase obesity. Taking 30-50 grams of cocoa powder before meals can replace the staple food, help control appetite, and stimulate blood circulation. Remember, ordinary chocolate (half is sugar) leads to weight gain, dark chocolate maintains weight, while cocoa powder helps with weight loss.

10. L-carnitine L-carnitine exists in the human body and food, including breast milk and some high-quality infant formula. Therefore, L-carnitine is a natural food nutrient. In the United States, L-carnitine can be taken as a dietary supplement. In China, L-carnitine can be used as a food additive.

Among numerous nutrients, L-carnitine should be the nutrient that promotes fat burning the most. Natural carnitine mainly exists in animal foods, with red meat (especially lamb) being the best food source for carnitine.

Although your body can also synthesize L-carnitine, you must consume methionine, lysine, vitamin B3, B6, C, and iron, and their main sources are meat and raw food. If you mainly eat rice and noodles and rarely eat raw food, you may have a serious lack of L-carnitine. This is also a common problem faced by modern humans, especially overweight and obese individuals, who need to supplement L-carnitine additionally.

If you encounter difficulties in weight loss, and both diet control and increased exercise have little effect, you need to supplement an adequate amount of L-carnitine more than others. You need to consume at least 2-3 grams of L-carnitine daily, and persist for more than 2-4 weeks. During this period, do not eat sugar, rice, noodles, and potatoes, otherwise, insulin will be secreted in large quantities, preventing L-carnitine from functioning properly.

Tip: Choose biologically fermented L-carnitine products if possible. The process of forming L-carnitine through microbial fermentation does not contain any chemical additives, and the final product does not contain D-carnitine, making it safer and more active. It has received the GRAS safety certification from the US FDA, and is currently the purest and most effective L-carnitine product.

To enhance the effect of fat loss and save time, you can choose cocoa powder that has added biologically fermented L-carnitine, such as L-cocoa. Taking L-cocoa half an hour before meals or before exercise can replace the staple food and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In fact, there are many methods for weight loss in life, and the above are ten types of weight loss products that are beneficial to human health. Therefore, if you also belong to the category of people who need to lose weight, then these weight loss products can be said to be the best choice for you to regain a slender figure. Therefore, it is necessary to eat more of these healthy weight loss products in daily life.
