Losing weight can be difficult, but there are certain foods that can help dieters drop pounds faster. Eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise are the foundations for successful
weight loss. But adding certain foods to a diet plan will further ensure success. One of these is oily fish. Omega 3 fatty acids are well known to help fight degenerative disease, but they
also have a part to play in weight management. Eating foods such as mackerel or herring are high in protein, which will help keep you fuller for longer. They also contain ‘good fats’ which
help to break down the ‘bad fats’ in the body. These are the fats found around the stomach area - and those with a large waistline are advised they are more at risk of high blood pressure
and cardiovascular disease. Foods rich in Omega 3 fats include salmon, sardines, flaxseeds, walnuts, chia seeds, canola oil and mackerel. Adding Omega 3 fats to a diet are one way to boost
weight loss. Apple cider vinegar is another item that can be added to diet plans to help shed the pounds. Apple cider vinegar is a type of vinegar made from apples, which has a deep amber
colour. Unpasturised versions of the vinegar have a cloudy appearance and are thought to have a number of health benefits. The ingredient was originally used to make salad dressing and
chutney, but recently other properties have been discovered. It is thought that the acid in the drink is what helps your body to shed the pounds. Scientists at the Department of Nutrition at
Arizona State University found that drinking the drink before every meal can reduce the number of calories you eat over a day by up to 275. It could also help with bloating, as it is said
to improve the digestion thanks to pectin.
