3. Walnuts -- Walnuts are great sources of omega 3 fats and help to satiate mid-day hunger pangs.
4. Yogurt -- Grab-and-go protein options can be hard to find. Eating plain yogurt with a bit of granola is the perfect way to start your day or enjoy it as a snack.
5. Green tea - Green tea contains high concentrations of catechin polyphenols. These compounds intensify your body's ability to burn calories and fat. How much should you drink? Research shows that three cups of green tea per day is a great start.
6. Chicken or turkey breast -- Protein helps your body to burn more calories because your body needs more energy to digest them. Eating chicken or turkey on a salad or a whole grain bun will fill you up and keep your blood sugar stable so you can avoid an energy crash.
7. Extra virgin olive oil --This healthy type of fat adds flavour to food, has heart-healthy properties and can help you to lose weight. When buying, look for olive oil in a dark bottle that's labelled "extra virgin and cold pressed" -- made from the first pressing of the grape.
8. Wild salmon -- A mere four ounces of salmon offers a whopping 28 grams of protein. Loaded with omega 3 fats, salmon is a nutritional superstar for weight loss and health.
9. Dark chocolate -- What's this, you say? Dark chocolate for weight loss? To lose weight, it's important to avoid feelings of deprivation and intense cravings. When you feel like you're on a diet, you're at risk for a food binge. Keep 50- to 100-calorie, individually wrapped dark chocolate squares in the fridge or freezer and allow yourself the occasional indulgence.
10. Clementine oranges -- Naturally sweet and easy to pop in your purse or bag, these tasty little fruits are low in calories and high in vitamin C. They also cut cravings and taking the edge off hunger.
In addition to the above tips, keep on drinking -- water, that is! Proper hydration boosts your metabolism, keeps your energy up and your weight down. Bon appetite!
