4 Best Weight Loss Foods and 4 of the Worst - Never Ever Forget the Saying 'You Are What You Eat!'

Have you ever mistakenly believed that the best weight loss foods are the ones with low or no calories? By continuously eating foods that provide no calorific value, you are simply robbing your body of essential nutrients. Sure if you eat salads everyday for a month, you will lose a substantial amount of weight, but it will then suddenly stop! This is your body's way of saying it thinks you are starving and therefore will now start storing fat rather than burning it.

So without further ado here are the best foods for weight loss:-

1) Chicken and Fish - Both are a superb source of lean protein. By eating good proteins your body will maintain a higher metabolism which will aid any desired weight loss. By choosing to ignore these types of high protein foods your body will use muscle for fuel rather than using fat!

2) Oats - A great source of carbohydrates, which again your body requires for energy. Oats are high in fiber and low in calories. Therefore a fantastic way to start your fat burning day!

3) Milk and Cheese - These foods are high in amino acids and protein, which will can help you lose weight. They also contain essential fats that your body needs. You must remember however, that milk and cheese are high in calories, therefore please always eat them in moderation.

4) Yogurt - Contains pro-biotics which you need to keep harmful toxins at bay. Yogurt is also a great way to combat those sweet cravings that you get.

Add to these foods plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and water and you have the perfect diet. We have looked at the best foods for weight loss, so how about the worst.

Foods that you should look to avoid at all costs, include:-

- Cookies and pastries

- Popcorn covered in butter

- French Fries

- Any baked produce

These foods are extremely high in fat and calories and eaten regularly will just pile on the pounds. You should have a cheat day once a week to keep your motivation up. So you can eat some of your favourite "fatty" foods then, but for the rest of the week stick to the best weight loss foods!
