Anyone who wants to lose weight can count on calorie intake daily or cook elaborate dietary recipes. In everyday life, however, has been resisted to renounce diets in principle and instead to change the lifestyle. The body can already be helped by replacing a few foods with healthy ones. Although this method takes longer to get rid of excess finds, but it also lasts a lifetime. It is important to throw old food habits overboard. We show which foods naturally help you lose weight.

„Simply eat less or only half“, this dietary intent works with the fewest people. In addition, a low food intake is also not healthy, because a shortage of vital nutrients can happen. Bad consequences can be, for example, vitamin, potassium or calcium deficiency. The body is on a low flame and the feeling of hunger is amplified. Katharina B. (43) from Hannover: „In all the diets that I have done so far, the constant hunger was the worst.“

On the other hand, those who resort to the right foods can eat their fill and additionally lose weight. The trick: the annoying counting of calories is eliminated. Certain foods can help to get rid of excess body fat.

Start the day with oatmeal
The day can start with a full breakfast. A bowl of oatmeal with milk makes you full and fit. Oatmeal is rich in fiber and unsaturated fatty acids. For this reason, the flakes will last for a long time. Also abundant is magnesium. The mineral can also boost fat burning, as some studies have found.

Naturopathy has long known that pine nuts are generally regarded as true slim-doers. In between, with a cup of green tea from Asia, pine nuts with a content of 50 percent high-quality unsaturated fatty acids can stimulate the metabolism and digestion.

What is new is that even chocolate can help to lose finds. However, you should pay attention to the fact that it is qualitative dark chocolate with a high cocoa butter content. According to a recent study, people who regularly consume chocolate have less of body fat than those who eat little or no food at all.

Unhealthy foods make you fat
The opposite can of course also be achieved with rather unhealthy foods. In a large-scale US study, researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston found that eating potato chips in particular thickens. During the 20-year long-term study, scientists examined the dietary habits of over 120,000 women and men. Every four years the subjects were asked about their eating habits and the weight measured afterwards. It showed that the daily consumption of 30 grams of chips after four years on average led to 770 grams more weight. In second place were the starchy potatoes, soft drinks with sugar and red meat. However, study participants who ostensibly ate vegetables, whole grains, milk products and fruits, on the other hand, lost or at least held their weight.

We listed ten foods that should not be missing from the daily diet. Those who take these foods in addition to a balanced diet and exercise can lose body weight in the long term.

Grapefruit inhibits appetite
US scientists found that the fruit helps grapefruit lose kilos. The reason: Grapefruit stimulate the sugar metabolism. In addition, the contained bitter substances inhibit the appetite. For breakfast or in between should not be missing a glass of pure grapefruit juice. However, cardiovascular patients should consult their doctor. It is well known that grapefruit can also alter the effects of heart medication.

Cheese with healthy fatty acids
Although milk and cheese contain many fats, these are healthy fatty acids. In addition, dairy products contain a lot of calcium. In a scientific study especially women burned more fat if they consumed at least 1000 milligrams of calcium daily.

Oatmeal with lots of fiber
Oatmeal contains a lot of fiber as well as unsaturated fatty acids. Advantage: A bowl of flakes in the morning lasts long and thus prevents the treats in between. In addition, oatmeal contains a lot of magnesium that stimulates digestion.

Pine nuts help to lose weight
Lots of fat is contained in the pine nuts, yet they are considered a good supporter of weight loss. The cores contain unsaturated fatty acids, which help to boost fat metabolism. In addition, they contain important minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium. Pine nuts fit wonderfully in the morning cereal or almost all salads.

Healthy fruits
Fruits like blueberries taste good and help you lose weight. In addition to vitamin C, minerals and trace elements, the small blue fruits should also have "anti-aging" effects.

Bananas as an energy supplier
Bananas are perfect as a snack. Ripe bananas are high in carbohydrates unlike other fruits. These provide energy and fill you up. Especially before and after exercise they are a good alternative to satisfy hunger.

Green tea
In Japan, people have for centuries relied on the healing power of green tea. According to some Asian studies, green tea should also help you lose weight. About three to five cups per day makes body tumble.

Brown rice makes you full
Instead of white rice, should be put more on brown rice. Unpeeled rice contains a lot of fiber. As a result, the rice is split more slowly by the gastric enzymes. The contained starch is converted more slowly into sugar. The brown rice keeps longer full and according to some studies sinks when replacing white rice in unpeeled rice, the risk of developing diabetes type II.

Healthy broccoli protects against cancer
Broccoli contains a lot of vitamins C, E and A. This has been proven to protect green vegetables from cancerous tumors. Broccoli also contains a lot of fiber. In the vegetarian kitchen there are countless variations to prepare this tasty vegetable. (Sb)
