Sometimes, you are not what you eat, because if people were
what they ate, we would have many people with solid walls of muscles (people
who eat hot dogs on a regular basis). Even people who would have eaten pasta
would have been stringy and without any body fat and people who had a sweet
tooth would have turned sweet but nutty.
However, the world is not perfect, and sometimes, you can
become lucky by consuming fatty foods on a regular basis, but you should know
about the special ones, which can be great for losing weight. Here’s a list to
help you transform yourself.
#1: Olive Oil
Who could’ve thought that the plain, old olive oil can be so
healthy? Yes, olive oil is rich in polyphenols, which help your body to fight
cancer. Additionally it contains monounsaturated fats and that is the one,
which help you lose weight.
#2: Coconut
Coconut has high saturated fat content, but majority of it
comes from lauric acid, which fights bacteria and helps to lower the bad
cholesterol levels of your body. Additionally, if you use coconut oil in your
dietary supplements, you will see reduced abdominal obesity.
#3: Dark Chocolate
If you are a sweet tooth, you’ll love this. Chocolates,
especially dark chocolates can flatten your belly. However, to take advantage
of this fact, make sure that you take chocolate at least two hours before the
meal, and not as a dessert or after your meal. According to researchers, the
pure cocoa butter of dark chocolate is a source of stearic acid, which slows
the digestion. It also helps you to stave off hunger for longer duration and
thus lose weight.
#4: Almond Butter
Despite the high fat content, almond butter can be helpful
while you are trying to follow a diet to lose weight. This is because almonds
contain compounds that limit the amount of fat your body absorbs.
#5: Avocado
Avocado is rich, creamy and can be treated as a wonder fruit
of Mother Nature. Avocados contain not only monounsaturated fats, but also
oleic acids, which can stave off hunger. Additionally it also contains protein
and fiber, which is required for a balanced diet.
#6: Salmon
Although salmon has a bad reputation, especially with the
obese people, yet it can be quite helpful to curb weight when you need to
follow a specific diet. Salmons contain the healthy omega 3 fatty acids, which
even control the cholesterol level in your blood. Omega 3 acids have been
clinically tested and known to reduce the risk of high blood pressure, high
cholesterol level and arrhythmia. You can even add some avocado and salad with
salmon to have added health benefits.
So, now that you know about the foods which contain fat but
help you to lose fat, why not try them out and see the difference after a
couple of weeks? If required you can also contact your dietician for a specific
diet to follow.
