The easiest way to lose weight is to incorporate foods with a low calorie density into your diet. It ́s not about eating less, it ́s about eating the right kind of foods and more of them. Fruits and vegetables have a very low calorie density and are stuffed with water, fibre, minerals and vitamins – not with calories.
You can eat as much of these foods without worrying about gaining weight.
Cucumber
Cucumbers have antidiabetic and antioxidant properties and have a cleansing and detoxifying effect on the body. With 95% water cucumbers are one of the vegetables with the highest water content. They offer valuable vitamins and minerals but are extremely low in calories (only 16 calories per cup).
Celery
One large stalk of celery contains only 10 calories but provides you with many important nutrients like vitamin K, A, B6, potassium and folate. Being low in calorie and detoxifying celery is one of the best foods to eat when losing weight.
Watermelon
Watermelon is lower in carbohydrates than many other fruits. The high water amount in watermelons make you feel full and keep you hydrated which is important if you want to lose weight.
Lemon
Lemons have strong antibacterial and immune-boosting powers. They support weight loss because they are a great digestive aid and powerful liver cleanser which is important for losing or maintaining weight. Start every morning with a glass of warm water with juice of 1⁄2 a lemon.
