Fast-Track Your Weight Loss With These 4 Foods

Are you sick of seeing everyone transforming their body and getting results while you don’t? Feel like a “human yo-yo” in that relentless cycle of losing weight just to put it all back on?

Well, first things first. Let’s get this out of the way.

Most diets will promise you the world and deliver you disappointment.

Why?

This often happens because just like not every job will turn into your career, not every diet will work the same for everyone.

The journey to long-term and sustainable weight loss looks different for everyone but the key is the sustainability piece. Most of the time, choosing healthier alternatives of the foods you already enjoy is a better place to start than Dale from Byron’s '28 Day Shredder Program’.

Here are 4 food groups that will help you find those alternatives whilst fast tracking you towards your weight loss goals!

High quality proteins

Protein is the KING of weight loss. Its benefits are by far the most impressive and useful when it comes to trying to lose weight.

It helps you feel fuller for longer which is a key factor in preventing overeating.
It helps prevent muscle loss by building and preserving lean muscle mass during and after exercise.
It boosts your metabolism by increasing the thermic effect of food (the rate at which your body burns calories after eating).
It’s the last macronutrient to be stored in your body as fat.

Try to mix up your proteins! Even try something plant-based every now and then.

Organic lean meats like chicken and turkey are best as well as certain seafood, fish, eggs, and plain greek yoghurt. You can also try tofu, lentils, chickpeas, and even nuts!

Fibre-rich food

So everyone knows protein helps you stay fuller for longer but did you know that fibre does the same thing? Fibre-rich foods take longer to digest and are considered high-volume which is perfect for weight loss.

They also regulate your blood sugar, improve your digestive and bowel health, increase absorption of nutrients from food and taste really darn good!

Here are some fibre-rich foods to throw in your meals ASAP:

Fruits and vegetables
Beans and legumes (lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, etc.)
Whole-grains (brown rice, whole-grain pasta, quinoa etc.)

Probiotic foods

You’ve heard the fuss about maintaining a healthy gut, right? Well this is where probiotics come in. The gut is made up of a variety of bacteria, some good and some bad. It’s a delicate balance. Studies in more recent times have shown that a healthy gut (or a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria) can be a determinant in your ability to lose weight!

Which is great news because a healthy gut can be achieved with two things…

Eating more probiotic-rich foods such as greek yoghurt, fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, miso paste, kombucha, etc.
Avoiding processed and refined foods and decreasing your alcohol intake

Leafy greens

No, we don’t mean you have to eat salad every meal for 6 weeks.

Yes, we are saying you need greens in your diet if you want to accelerate your weight loss.

Leafy greens in particular are FULL of micronutrients, vitamins and fibre but are super low in calories. They support brain function, support bone health, heart health, and protect you against disease.

Try throwing them into a smoothie or hiding them in one-pot meals if you’re sick at the thought of a salad. Rocket, spinach and kale should be your main go-to’s.
