15 Amazing Fruits for Weight Loss

All of these fruits are awesome, but cantaloupe is a great fruit for weight loss. It’s super filling and low calorie which is great for suppressing your appetite.

Whole Grains

Whether it’s quinoa, oatmeal, or brown rice, whole grain foods help you to lose weight. The fiber in them helps lower your blood fat levels, and not to mention that your body burns more calories from just digesting them.

Green Tea

As I talk about in my post on Losing 15 Pounds in 1 Month (without exercise), green tea was a HUGE factor in my weight loss. Green tea has a special antioxidant called catechin which helps to boost your metabolism and burn fat. It’s definitely something you want to stock up on.

Apples

With lots of fiber in them, apples keep you full and take longer to break down (which means you body will burn more calories just from digesting it). Make it easy for yourself to eat and cut it up into pieces (I prefer to eat it that way since I’m not a huge fan on biting into apples).

I’ve substituted out many unhealthy snacks and meals for the ones listed above. However, I did it slowly; and that’s one of the keys to weight loss. You take out one unhealthy food for something low calorie but still tasty. Otherwise, if you cut out everything at once, then you’re guaranteed to go right back to the same unhealthy diet you were on before.

Now if you have any healthy snack or meal tips, let me know in the comments below! I’d love to hear about them. Also, check out the sources below and see if there are any lists you’d like to read through!
