When you next open the fridge, think of this article. We present foods that do not make you gain weight no matter how much you eat.
This is not zero-calorie food. Even less empty food without vitamins and minerals. It's just food where our body uses more energy than it gets. Some of these foods will surely surprise you ...
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are full of lycopene, vitamins A, C, B2, folic acid, chromium, and potassium. They have almost no calories, and the range of nutrients is among the most important for our body. You can eat fresh and natural tomatoes as much as you want.
Popcorn
Homemade popcorn or air-popped popcorn practically will not affect your weight. And you won't believe it: movie theater popcorn, made in the air as well, does not make you gain weight. Remember that!
Proteins
You can also eat proteins as much as you want. Especially if they are plant-based, or at least dairy or egg-based ... It's true that you can add tomatoes to proteins and make a tasty omelette, but be careful with frying and saut{-15447}ing. Do not use refined oil.
Peas
Peas contain extremely few calories (100 grams of peas in a cup have 35 calories). In addition, they are rich in fiber and proteins.
Melons
Melons are interesting because they will satisfy your craving for sweets without disturbing your usual dietary routine. In addition, they contain a lot of vitamins A and C. Melons are considered very effective appetite suppressants.
Strawberries
Strawberries are rich in potassium and have a lot of fiber. They also have anti-inflammatory properties and are therefore suitable for those on a weight loss diet. Do not sweeten strawberries.
Celery
Celery is about 95% water and provides 30% of the daily vitamin K requirement in 100 grams. Celery is best eaten fresh.
Arugula
2 cups of arugula (200 grams) have only 10 calories. If you add a little grated cheese and season it with olive oil, you get an extremely healthy meal.
Lettuce
Lettuce contains a lot of vitamins A and C, plenty of folic acid and iron, and very few calories. You can eat a whole bowl of lettuce without worry.
Cucumbers
Cucumbers also have a lot of water (just like celery). The most calories are in the peel, where there are also many nutrients, among which beta-carotene is the most important for the eyes. Nutritionists suggest never peeling cucumbers.
Cauliflower
It is best eaten fresh and is rich in vitamins C and K.
Broccoli
In addition to vitamins A, C, E, and K, broccoli also contains plenty of fiber (20% of daily needs).
Grapefruits
Grapefruits help stabilize blood sugar levels. Like all citrus fruits, they are rich in vitamin C, and it is recommended to eat at least one after each meal. Just with this, you would start losing weight.
Blueberries
Blueberries stand out because they have the most antioxidants of any other fruit. They can quickly overcome any hunger pangs, have very few calories, and therefore do not make you gain weight.
