The Fitness Fashion by Nobody: 7:47am On Sep 21, 2014
What's more fashionable than being fit in this age and time? If you share same view then read on.
Regular exercise is great for building muscle and losing fat, but if you want to see real weight-loss results, what you eat matters. But dropping pounds isn't about depriving yourself — it's about choosing the right foods that satisfy without the calories. These 25 foods make the cut; check them out below!

1. Apples: They are one of the fruits that are highest in pectin, a soluble fiber that helps you feel full and satisfied. Eat an apple as a snack, and you may just feel like eating a little less when it comes time for your meal.

2. Green Tea: Sipping green tea throughout the day is a great way to boost your metabolism and suppress your appetite while also hydrating you to keep your body in tip-top shape.

3. Pear: Like apples, pears are high in the fiber pectin, which has been shown to help suppress appetite. Grab a pear (skin on) when you're feeling peckish to curb your cravings.

4. Meat: It is an excellent source of protein for building muscle and keeping you full, but going for fatty cuts and processed meats isn't so good for your waistline or your health. Instead, opt for the leanest cuts of meat in order to keep your meals at a normal calorie count.

5. Dark Chocolate: People who eat a small square of dark chocolate a day report feeling fewer cravings for dessert, so stock up on high-quality chocolate to help you just say no to those cookies in the kitchen.

6. Nuts: A 2011 study found that people who ate a sizeable amount of nuts a day had higher levels of the feel-good hormone serotonin, which can act as an appetite suppressant. Higher serotonin levels may also help diminish stress levels — a big help when it comes to the fight against belly fat.

7.Oatmeal: Swap your breakfast cereal for a bowl of oatmeal, and you just may see the pounds disappear. A recent study found that those who ate oatmeal instead of cereal consumed the same amount of calories but felt fuller longer and more satisfied, thanks to oatmeal's high fiber content.

8. Avocado: Fight fat with fat. Avocados are high in monounsaturated fatty acids, which can help diminish belly fat. Throw some slices on your morning toast, or try one of these healthy avocado lunch recipes.

9. Pepper: Capsaicin, the compound in peppers that gives them their spice, has been shown to have metabolism-boosting properties. Spice up your next meal by adding chili peppers to give it a little kick.

10. Sweet potatoes are high in fiber to keep you full and regulate blood sugar — which can help you kick cravings and lose pounds. But instead of the deep-fried sweet potato fries, opt for something healthier, like boiled sweet potato with some vegetable sauce.

11. Beans: They keep are a great protein source, so stock up on beans for a hearty, low-calorie meal that won't take too long to make.

Eat healthy, Live fashionable.
