Get a Beauty-Queen Waistline by Eating These Foods Every Day
Before you start trying to lose weight, remember that “weight loss is a process, not something that happens overnight”, so be patient if you want to see real results.
Many young people today believe that losing weight means cutting back or “starving” themselves so the body takes in fewer nutrients. This way of thinking is behind the many cases of malnutrition needing hospital treatment, fainting in the street and even strokes that doctors are warning about.
Instead of “starving” yourself to lose weight, switch to “eating sensibly”: you will get a slimmer figure while still giving your body all the energy it needs. Here are some foods that can help you lose weight and get back in shape.
Blueberries
These berries are packed with vitamins and minerals that support the body through the hard days of dieting. Blueberries keep you full for longer and curb hunger, and they also contain ursolic acid, which helps burn body fat and build muscle, speeding up your weight loss.
Tofu
This humble vegetarian food is a secret weapon for getting your slim “wasp waist” back. Tofu provides plenty of protein for the body, and because it is very low in starch it is one of the few foods that doesn't leave you with excess calories that add to your size. The calcium in tofu also helps you reduce fat and build muscle, making your body healthier and firmer.
If you choose tofu as a weight-loss food, prepare it in a suitable way. Steaming it or cooking it in soups with vegetables is a much better choice than frying or stir-frying it in lots of oil.
Broccoli
No list of foods that speed up weight loss would be complete without broccoli, a real saviour for your figure. A bowl of broccoli soup contains plenty of vitamins to keep you going all day, and its high fibre content helps the body burn off excess fat faster. Add broccoli to your daily menu for the best results. Besides helping with weight loss, broccoli is also thought to help protect against serious illnesses such as cancer and heart disease, and it is a food that scientists recommend.
Chia seeds
Chia seeds are still fairly new in Vietnam. They look like the basil seeds (hạt é) that are popular here, only smaller. They contain fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6, which are good for your skin and figure, as well as protein and fibre that help the body burn excess fat more quickly.
Chia seeds are easy to prepare: just soak them in water and they swell up. Once in your stomach they expand further, so you feel full sooner and have fewer cravings. You can add them to all kinds of healthy drinks, mixing them with water or milk, blending them into smoothies or stirring them into yogurt for a tasty, slimming treat.
Asparagus
Nutritionists rate asparagus highly and recommend it because it is rich in vitamins, and its amino acids help boost the metabolism and break down body fat so it can be eliminated.
As well as helping the body break down fat, asparagus provides the nutrients your body needs to keep going during a diet that might otherwise leave you short of them.
Eggs
As we all know, eggs are a source of high-quality protein that is very good for your health. Each egg also contains many other essential vitamins and minerals that keep the body's cells healthy and help prevent fat from building up.
Yogurt
Yogurt doesn't just give you beautiful, younger-looking skin: it also contains probiotics that help you lose weight quickly, boost your immune system and limit the build-up of fat in the body.
