1. Oats : Its not only tastes great but also reduces your hunger. Oats contains fiber which helps and stabilizes the levels of cholesterol.
My take: I don't like Oats. It has no taste and you can't add in sugar or flavouring because it'll defeat the purpose of weight loss. However, Mum takes them plain for breakfast though and it does help her.
2. Eggs : Eggs are the rich sources of proteins and low in calories. Eggs helps us to build the muscles and develops the good cholesterol.
My take: Eggs help fill the stomach. I eat 1 hard-boiled egg as breakfast or with my Trimshake. It's considered non-meat protein. But if you can help it, don't take the egg yolk. It's bad for cholesterol. But i'm a sucker for egg yolks. So 1 egg for me.
3. Apples : Apples are enriched with powerful antioxidants and other supplements. Most importantly it contains Pectin which helps to reduce the fat cells in the body.
My take: Apples are like every diet's staple. You have to incorporate Apples in your diet. The apple does help with my hunger pangs or if my "mouth's itchy" and i just want to munch on something. It's a healthier alternative to potato chips.
4. Green Chillies : Green chillies contains Capsaicin which helps to develop the body growth cells and burns the calories in quick time.
My take: Not a chilli person. Can't comment on this.
5. Garlic : Garlic contains Allicin which has anti-bacterial properties helps us to reduce the fat and removes the bad cholesterol.
My take: I pity whoever is going to be next to you when you burp. I don't really like garlic either, so i can't comment on this.
6. Honey : Honey is the best one to burn fat. Add honey in warm water and take it daily in the early morning.
My take: It's hard to find PURE HONEY from the supermarkets. Those that are on the shelves have Sugar content. And it'll defeat the purpose of burning fat. Because the sugar that is added in honey will turn into fats anyway. So i try as much to stay to just not have honey if possible. Of course if i were to choose sugar or honey, honey is the way to go. Like add honey in your coffee or tea intsead of sugar.
7. Green Tea : Green Tea is the most effective one which helps you to lose weight. It contains Antioxidants which helps and stabilizes our body weight.Take daily 2 cups of tea for a better results.
My take: It really depends on the quality of the Green Tea leaves. The good ones leaves you refreshed. But some have a "siap siap" or astringent and raw after taste.
8. Wheat Grass : It boosts our metabolism and helps to reduce the fat.
My take: Always see this in Chinese Medicine Shops. But it has an awful green looking texture. Forget it.
9. Tomatoes : Tomatoes helps us to burn the fat in quick time. It also helps us to stay away from cancer. So Take tomatoes in your diet regularly.
My take: Love cherry tomatos. Always add this in our salads. =D
10. Dark Chocolate : Dark chocolate contains Flavonoids, anti-inflammatory properties which helps to reduce the cholesterol levels in the blood. It boost the growth of serotonin in the blood and also burns the fat.
My take: It's still a challenge to find 100% dark chocolate with no sugar content. Unless you're willing to pay a bomb for it that is. Alternatively, just DON'T EAT CHOCOLATES period! Saves all the trouble doesn't it. When i have my cravings, i limit to 1 small square and that usually satisfies me.
