At The Healthy Man, we are only interested in what works, which means nutritious and sustainable. We believe everything in moderation approach to eating and exercise. For both nutrition and weight loss, we can’t go past the benefits of superfoods.

What is a superfood?

Superfoods are those which contain antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other health-boosting, energising, disease-fighting, anti-aging goodness in unusually high quantities.

And the great news is there are many low calorie, superfoods some of which are probably already lurking in your pantry and fridge.

Eating the right foods not only helps you burn the cals but also helps curb unnecessary cravings.

11 superfoods to help you lose weight

1. Apple

An apple a day not only keeps the doctor away, but it also helps keep the flab at bay. The antioxidants in apples are known to prevent metabolic syndrome, a condition that is marked by excess belly fat. Apples are the best on-the-go low-calorie snack and one of the superfoods to lose weight. Thus, include an apple in your daily diet and watch yourself achieve your weight loss goals.

2. Oats

Think breakfast, think oats. One of the healthiest meals to kick start your day, oats are a must in every weight loss plan and one of the superfoods to lose weight.

3. Salmon

Fish are excellent for your heart and waistline too! Salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids which are known to improve insulin sensitivity that help to build muscle and reduce belly fat.

4. Eggs

All forms of eggs from omelettes to boiled eggs are essential to increase that metabolism of yours and provide you with energy for your workouts and are one of the superfoods to lose weight.

5. Blueberries

Blueberries have the highest antioxidant level amongst most fruits. They also provide 3.6 grams of fibre per cup which is why they’re one of the superfoods to lose weight.

6. Kale

Raw kale is an excellent source of nutrition and is also really low on calories. One raw chopped cup contains 34 calories and about 1.3 grams of fibre, as well as a lot of iron and calcium which makes it one of the superfoods to lose weight.

7. Buckwheat pasta

Buckwheat is high in fibre and, unlike most carbs, is rich in proteins and one of the superfoods to lose weight. Thus, it is ideal to opt for this pasta over ordinary noodles if you wish to lose weight fast.

8. Lentils

Lentils are known to be belly flatteners and one of the superfoods to lose weight. So men looking to shed the belly flab must include lentils in their diet. Consuming lentils helps prevent insulin spikes that cause your body to create excess fat, mainly in the abdominal area.

9. Goji berries

These berries are excellent to curb hunger cravings and are more effective than other fruits when it comes to curbing cravings. They are a rich source of protein with 18 amino acids and one of the superfoods to lose weight.

10. Cacao

Don’t confuse it with its poorer nutrient-packed cousin ‘cocoa’. Cacao is the raw unaltered version of chocolate and one of the superfoods to lose weight. It’s high in magnesium, protein and fibre and it helps the brain to produce more of a neurotransmitter called anandamide which could account for the euphoric sensation some feel when indulging in chocolate. We now know that raw cacao is very high in antioxidant flavonoids and essential fatty acids which may help the body to raise good cholesterol and lower bad cholesterol. But remember to consume it in moderation.

11. Chia seeds (black & white)

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are the highest known plant source of Omega-3, with 8 times more than salmon! Chia seeds are also very stable at room temperature, so they don’t need to be refrigerated like other sources of Essential Fatty Acids.

Chia seeds provide an easy way to add healthy nutrition to your daily diet which is why they are one of the superfoods to lose weight. With Vitamins A, B12 and C, complete proteins (18 Amino Acids), minerals including potassium, phosphorous, folate, zinc, iron, magnesium and calcium as well as soluble and insoluble fibre.
