6. Whole Grains

People losing weight may find whole-grain foods helpful in providing steady energy for cardio and weights training. Whole-grain foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and essential fatty acids. Some examples of good whole-grain foods include oatmeal, whole-wheat flour, barley, spelt, brown rice, and some hot and cold breakfast cereals. Be wary of products labeled "100% wheat," "stone-ground," "multi-grain," "seven-grain," "12-grain," or "organic." They often contain very little whole grain. Instead, look for whole-grain products that say 100% whole wheat.

7. Salmon (or other oily fish)

One of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is a great way to add more protein to your diet, which can help repair the body quicker. Omega-3 essential fatty acids are important building blocks of cell membranes and, like protein, may help people recover from strenuous workouts faster and burn more fat.. Omega-3 fatty acids are a great addition to anyone’s fat-loss plan.

8. Tomato Based Products

Not often do you find a natural food that actually benefits nutritionally by being cooked and processed. This seems to be the case, however, for tomatoes. It appears that even though some vitamin C is lost when tomatoes are heated, the antioxidant power is increased during the process. Researchers have found that the antioxidant lycopene, which is the pigment that makes tomatoes and other fruits like pink grapefruit and watermelon red, is made more bioavailable to the human body after heating. Foods rich in lycopene include canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice, tomato paste, salsa, and are also handy in helping to prevent cancer.

9. Flaxseeds

Also known as linseeds, flaxseeds are small, oval-shaped seeds from the blue flowering flax plant. Flaxseeds are considered one of the best plant sources of healthful omega-3 essential fatty acids, and they're also a good source of fiber. Flaxseeds (but not all flaxseed oil) are rich in phytochemicals called lignans that may have strong antioxidant properties that can help you stay healthy. There are several sources of lignans, such as whole grains, various berries, and soybeans, but flaxseeds are the best source.

10. Green Vegetables

Vegetables such as watercress, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts, and cabbage are known as cruciferous vegetables. These vegetables are high in fiber, rich in vitamin C, very low in calories, and a good source of healthful phytonutrients. Eating cruciferous vegetables is a good way to take in importantmicronutrients without taking in a lot of calories. People wishing to lose body fat will find cruciferousvegetables to be a good addition to a their focused diet and eating plan. It is also interesting to note that cruciferousvegetables can be a dieter’s best friend, as in many cases they require more calories to be digested than they provide. Cruciferous vegetables not only help fill you up due to their water content, but they also help you burn more calories!
