Top Foods To Help You Lose Weight

We're well into January, and if one of your New Year's resolutions was to lose weight, I hope you're still with it. But you don't have to eat alfalfa and sprouts all the time to keep the pounds off. Check out these foods to help you lose weight.

According to an article by Connie Guttersen, Creator of The New Sonoma Diet on everydayhealth.com:

"The journey of losing weight starts in your kitchen, and the New Year is a great time to remove all refined, sugary packaged foods from your pantry and fridge. Refined foods are highly processed and have been stripped of their nutrient content and fiber. But wholesome foods like vegetables and fruits, whole grains, beans and other legumes, and healthy fats such as avocados, nuts and seeds, and olive oil are packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants that are beneficial for optimal health and weight loss.

Here are the top recommended foods:

1. Almonds

2. Beans

3. Bell Peppers

4. Blueberries

5. Citrus Fruits

6. Grapes

7. Olive Oil

8.Whole Grains"
