managing your weight the quality of what you eat matters just as much as the quantity according to nutritional researcher Chris Gunnar’s not all calories are created equal meaning that even when trying to lose weight you should always pick healthy foods to make sure you’re getting the best nutritional bang for your buck without further ado here are 10 more foods which Gunnar’s assures us are scientifically supported to help you along the path of your personal weight loss journey number one avocados truly what can we say about these vibrant green fruits that hasn’t already been said avocados are so healthy in fact that we’ve already done an entire video about them be sure to check it out if you haven’t already as for how they impact weight loss avocados are unique among fruits in that they are loaded with healthy fats as opposed to carbs as well as a high amount of water and fiber which lowers its overall energy density avocados are also a healthy source of potassium more like potassium am i right number two apple cider vinegar whether using it as an ingredient in salad dressing or even diluting it into drinking water natural health and fitness enthusiasts everywhere love apple cider vinegar according to some studies ingesting some apple cider vinegar at the same time as a meal that’s high in carbs can help you feel more full thus encouraging you to consume fewer calories it has also been shown to reduce blood sugar spikes after meals which can also potentially have long-term benefits when it comes to health and weight loss number 3 nuts for a healthy snack on the go nuts are where it’s at nuts of various kinds are high in protein fiber and healthy fats making them both satisfying to eat as well as packed with nutritional benefits if that wasn’t enough studies have also linked nuts to improved metabolic health and potential weight loss as well and population studies have indicated that people who regularly snack on nuts are typically healthier and leaner on average they’re still high in calories however so as long as you don’t go overboard and eat too many at once you should be fine in other words just don’t go nuts when snacking number four whole grains cereal grains get a bad rap sometimes however certain types of grains can still provide health benefits and may even be useful when it comes to losing weight while it’s true that processed grains are unhealthy whole and cereal grains packed with fiber and protein can be useful when it comes to managing your weight grains that fall under this category include oats brown rice and quinoa if you’re trying to avoid curbs altogether though you might want to steer clear of all grains regardless number 5 chili pepper what’s your tolerance when it comes to spicy food in addition to adding a much-needed kick to many a bland meal chili peppers can also add a much needed kick to your weight loss strategies this is because chili peppers are high in capsaicin which is a substance that according to some studies has been proven to reduce appetite and increase excess fat burning in the human body capsaicin is so useful in this regard in fact that it’s often used as ingredient in weight-loss products such as dieting supplements however it’s also worth mentioning that people who eat spicy food on the regular seem to reap fewer weight-loss benefits from Chili Peppers then people with milder tastes this would seem to imply that your body might build up a tolerance to these peppers and the capsaicin that they contain over time if you like things spicy then Chili Peppers might not be an effective weight-loss tool in the long term but hey at least they’re still delicious right number six fruit the health benefits that we associated with fruit have been known for a long time even though fruits contain natural sugars they’re low energy density and fiber content prevents the sugar they contain from being released into your bloodstream too quickly for this reason fruit is a delicious and nutritious addition to almost any diet in fact the only reason you may want to consider reducing your fruit intake is if you happen to either have an intolerance or if you’re on a diet to emphasize reducing the carbs you ingest such as the ever-popular ketogenic diet or keto diet for everyone else munch away number seven grapefruit while we just talked about the weight loss benefits that can come from fruit as a whole some fruits deserve a little more attention on this list than others one specific fruit we’d like to shine the spotlight on is grapefruit due to it being the subject of a number of studies regarding the effects this fruit has on weight loss and weight management according to these studies people who integrated grapefruit into their diets not only led to reduced weight but also reduced resistance to insulin insulin resistance is a condition that affects the body’s metabolism and can lead to a number of chronic diseases and other unwanted conditions researchers therefore suggests that eating half a grapefruit as an appetizer half an hour before meals can help with feelings of fullness and prevent you from overeating during mealtimes number eight chia seeds originally used for planting Chia Pets in the 90s it turns out that chia seeds are also a nutritional superfood as well chia seeds contain 12 grams of carbohydrates per ounce if that seems high bear in mind that 11 of these grams is made up of fiber officially making chia seeds one of the best sources of fiber in the whole world while the jury’s still out on whether or not she is seeds impact weight loss directly they’re high fiber content means that at the very least chia seeds can reduce your appetite and stop you from potentially over snacking this combined with their high nutritional value means that chia seeds should be seen as a healthy addition to just about any diet number 9 coconut oil coconut oil is a high source of medium chain triglycerides otherwise known as MCTS MCTS are a type of fatty acid and research has indicated that they make you feel more full and satiated than other fats when ingested and also increase the number of calories you burn so does that mean you should slather on some coconut oil all over your meals from now on well probably not coconut oil still contains calories after all and it has been suggested to use the oil as a substitute for other cooking ingredients rather than as an addition number 10 full fat yogurt like we mentioned in the previous video dairy products are useful food due to their high protein content in addition certain types of yogurt are also a source of probiotic bacteria which can help you to maintain a healthy gut and can protect against factors that can cause inflammation and obesity next time you’re at the grocery store be on the lookout for yogurts that advertise live active cultures to make sure you’re buying a brand that comes loaded with these probiotics full fat yogurt in particular is also associated with a reduced risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes and there you have it between these two videos we now have a list of 20 different types of food that can help you manage your weight and eat healthily \
