Ten foods to help you lose weight
Research shows that certain foods can definitely help you lose weight, according to new study covered in BMJ.
The study involved 124,086 Health Professionals across the USA over some 24 years. The study looked at the benefits of flavonoid compounds and subclasses.
What we found was that certain sub-classes like anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins were particularly effective. And the more you ate, the more weight you seem to lose!
Several flavonoid subclasses have been shown to lower energy intake, increase glucose uptake in muscle in vivo, and decrease glucose uptake in adipose tissue in vitro.
Among fruits, an increased intake of the following lost you weight:
1. Blueberries
2. Apples
3. Pears
4. Prunes
5. Strawberries
6. Grapes
Among vegetables it was an increased intake of
7. Peppers
8. Celery
9. Onions
Finally, a whole area of study linked to a lowering of fat deposits involved EGCG in
10. Green Tea
