Top 10 Foods for Weight Loss
If you're trying to lose weight, the following 10 foods are some of the best options you can include in your weight loss plan:

1. Oatmeal - if you're not currently including oatmeal in your weight loss plan, it should be an essential option. The type of oatmeal you consume should also be the large flaked oats, not the sugary pre-packaged type. Oatmeal is a good source of fiber; by starting your day with oatmeal you can stabilize your blood sugar levels throughout the day and provide the fuel you need to keep going,
2. Blueberries - blueberries are extremely low in calories, low in fat, low on the glycemic index and contain an ideal amount of vitamin C. They can spruce up oatmeal or be added to low-fat yoghurt with a handful of unroasted almonds for a tasty afternoon snack.
3. Low-fat yoghurt - it's an ideal snack and tastes great when combined with berries or other fruits. It's also high in calcium which has been speculated through some research to help reduce body weight. It's also low in fat and contains a moderate amount of protein.
4. Almonds - unroasted and unsalted almonds have been found to actually help with weight loss in a recent study. It was speculated that almonds may make you feel satisfied longer and curb those cravings. If you're watching your calories it's important to monitor your almond intake as they are calorically-dense. A serving should be about 1 oz. which equals approximately 22 almonds.
5. Spinach - spinach is high in Vitamin C and E, calcium, fiber and antioxidants. 1 cup of steamed spinach only contains 50 calories so it's the perfect addition to your weight loss plan. It tastes great in a salad, steamed and added to your egg white omelets.
6. Egg Whites - they are extremely versatile and are low in calories, contain no fat or cholesterol and are high in protein. Besides, there are so many things you can do with egg whites from making a quiche, to omelets, to scrambled eggs; with egg whites you'll never get bored! Quite simply eggs can be an EGG-cellent part of your weight loss plan.
7. Tuna - tuna is one of the cheapest types of protein you can get. It's low in fat and calories and high in protein. Tuna mixes well with other ingredients and is extremely versatile. With the new flavored varieties on the market, there's no reason not to add tuna to your weight loss plan.
8. Salsa - salsa is extremely low in calories, low in fat and provides powerful antioxidants. It's an ideal condiment as it's flavorful and has a chunky consistency.
9. Legumes - chickpeas, kidney beans and lentils are all great options. They're high in fiber as well as folate and B vitamins. They can keep you regular and help to satisfy your hunger levels.
10. Sweet Potatoes - Sweet potatoes, also known as yams, are high in beta-carotene and fiber. They can help stabilize blood sugar levels and help to sustain hunger levels. They are virtually fat free and provide a ton of nutrients such as potassium and Vitamin C.
