Secret Advantage to Weight Loss

Top 5 foods to shred unwanted fat

Firstly, you cannot succeed these goals with just purely eating better, it involves exercising as well.... (damn it! >:[ ) 

1. Almonds

Q: But I thought nuts were bad for you?

 A: Almonds contain a relatively high amount of fat, it is a "healthy" type of fat.

 When choosing almonds, make sure to look for them in their most natural state--this means raw and with no added salt or additives.

2. Oatmeal

Q: Isn't there too much salt in oatmeal?

A: Oatmeal is only made with 2% salt. It has "slow-release" carbohydrates which make it perfect for eating before working out because it may help you burn more fat when when exercising.

Tip: Slow-digesting carbs offer long-lasting energy when eaten before workouts 

Blend 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop whey protein and 11/2 cups water to make an easy all-in-one pre-workout shake.

3. Apples

Q: Skip the question, we all know apples are good for you! "An apple a day keeps the doctor away..." ...or the pounds.

(It's recommended that women get at least 25 grams of fibre a day)

The fibre that is in the apple is known as pectin, which keeps your stomach feeling fuller longer and helps you eat less!

4. Cucumbers

A: They only offer benefits of vitamin C & A, and some fibre.

5. Grapefruit 

Q: Doesn't grapefruit taste sour and bitter?

A: Grapefruit isn't as bad as you think. It does have a different bittery-sweet-sour taste but you get used to it! And you won't even care too much about the taste any more once you realize all the jammed-packed nutrients in it.
