1. Eggs
Eggs are full of protein and fill you up. That means that they’re perfect if you’re looking to lose weight. Plus, there are so many different ways to prepare eggs that it would probably take you a while to get sick of them. It’s such a versatile food and it’s great for weight loss!
Oh yes, they definitely are! Eggs are packed with protein, which keeps you feeling full and avoids those horrible snack attacks. Plus, they're so versatile in any meal.
Well, popcorn can be a great snack since it's low in calories and high in fiber, but maybe not as your entire diet! Balance it out with other foods to make sure you get all the nutrients you need.
Totally! Cooked rice can grow bacteria pretty quickly if left out. If you want to avoid any funny business, stick it in the fridge ASAP.
I'd steer clear of processed junk – you know, the sugary snacks and fried foods. Sticking to whole foods like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins is a much better bet.
Try experimenting with different cooking methods and spices, or mix them with foods you do like. Sometimes it's just about finding the right combo that works for your taste buds!
2. Popcorn
I personally love fat-free popcorn either as a snack or as my lunch when I’m in a hurry. It pops in a few minutes, it can easily be brought along with me when I’m on the go, and it helps you lose weight. If you’re eating fat-free popcorn, there’s obviously no fat, plus popcorn fills you up quickly, making it a great food to eat for weight loss!

3. Leafy Vegetables
Like popcorn, leafy vegetables fill you up quickly. Leafy vegetables are also great like eggs because they’re so versatile. You can throw some kale in a smoothie and you wouldn’t even taste a difference, or you could make kale chips as an afternoon snack and you’d get hooked. No matter what kind of leafy vegetable you’re eating, they’re easy to add into your diet and will fill you up!

I don’t know about you, but as much as I love vegetables, sometimes I just really crave a hot meal. If you feel similarly, eat different vegetable soups whenever you’re craving something warm. Either follow a recipe or throw in any vegetables you think would taste good together. It’s a great way to get a variety of different vegetables without spending all day chewing a ton of vegetables!

Ask
As part of taking control over your health and wellbeing, it's important to pay attention to the amount of sugar you consume daily. Did you ever wonder how many grams of sugar are in a teaspoon? Understanding this can help you make healthier choices and avoid those sneaky sugars that add up throughout the day. No doubt, your body will thank you!
5. Avocados
I’m sure you’ve heard of those magical “good fats” that everyone raves about. If you’ve yet to be able to find foods with good fats, though, your search is over. Avocados are so much better for, say, your toast, than butter is, making it a “superfood” when you’re looking to lose weight.

6. Chia Seeds
If you’ve never had chia seeds, I suggest that you change that soon because they are amazing. They’re so tiny that you don’t even realize they’re in most recipes, and yet they pack so many nutrients that it’s insane. Plus, they’re said to make you feel full so fast. I love including them in granola, but I think they’d be great on a salad as well.
