So if you, like me, are on your weight loss journey and want to be steady on it, opt for these staples that help in weight loss whenever untimely hunger strikes!

Spinach, lettuce, cucumber and celery embellished with limes, nuts and beans – doesn’t it sound great? This green healthy salad that needs no efforts in making can give you ample health benefits. Apart from nourishing your body heavily, this salad will control your hunger pangs and amplify weight loss.

2. Fruit salad

Always keep a bowl of fruit salad in your fridge to satiate your sugar cravings and for evening snacking. Fruits are a great way to reach your weight loss goal faster.

3. Juices

Juices and smoothies can easily replace your meals while providing you with immense nutrition and filling you up. While on your weight loss journey, opt for green juices and smoothies. These are sure shot way to get clear and glowing skin too. Win-win, isn’t it?

Coconut water is the best refreshing drink you can have to beat the tropical summer heat. It is super healthy and keeps you satiated too.

5. Peanut butter

Peanut butter might be an excellent option too. Studies have proven the might of peanut butter when it comes to weight loss. But make sure you always opt for the sugar-free version else you’ll be consuming unnecessary calories. Remember to have this in moderation as it is high in calories. A small spoon of peanut butter can prove to be a good midnight snack that won’t lead to weight gain.

6. Sprouts

Sprouts are packed in proteins, anti-oxidants, dietary fibres as well as vitamins, and hence are very popular amongst diet conscious people across the world. Sprouting is a process of germinating seeds which can be consumed either raw or cooked. Some examples are moong beans, chickpea, soya beans etc. They contain fewer calories as compared to other high calorie snacks or highly processed food. Sprouts can be used in one tasty way like mixing it with vegetables and legumes.
