Whilst doing some market research a thought from a keyword made me think about this so hence the post here are what I would consider to be my top then weight loss foods anyway whether they are or not makes difference so here we go.

Something I eat a lot of now especially with it being so hot is salad my number one for this would be.

1. Tomatoes I love them all the goodness they contain and they have water in which fills you up

2. Fish I eat mostly salmon when we have it mostly in sandwiches or with a salad

3. Eggs I eat a fair few eggs two reasons mainly one the protein and two they suppress your appetite.

4. Soup extremely low in calories very filling and studies show that it suppresses your appetite.

5.Apples very low calorie food and contains pectin which is it’s own fibre takes quite a while to break down in your stomach plus turns off the hungry signal in your mind.

6. Bananas love the taste of them and there so full of good stuff namely potassium

7.Pears love this fruit and eat it quite a lot

8.Beans full of protein and taste great with some chilli powder added yummy

9.Porridge (Oatmaeal) mostly have this for my breakfast keeps me going to dinner or lunch whichever you prefer.

10.Green Tea full of antioxidants and now Im used to it I find it quite satisfying I know it isn’t a food but thought it might make a good addition to the list.

We all have heard this phrase at some time during our battles with weight loss but did you know that some research as shown that we can be what our friends eat.

A study was performed which had twelve thousand people and there where 2 things that stood by a mile large people have large friends.And people with big friends become bigger themselves so this raises a few valid points does it hold true for you what happens when you go to a friends house for dinner do you tend to eat more than you would do normally. It certainly is worth thinking about as we can and do become at times like the people we hang around with.
