People who are on a weight loss journey would know that losing fat is no easy job. With certain diets, you can lose weight, but that doesn’t really mean the kilos you shed are fat. Sometimes, the drop on your weighing scale could also mean water or muscle loss. One of the biggest enemies of fat loss is the inability to control hunger, even when you have eaten the required food. Fitness coach Dan Go, who has over 740K followers on Instagram, has now shared his top five low-calorie foods that will keep you full while losing fat.
“Let's face it, willpower is useless when hunger is out of control,” he says in a video shared on social media. Here’s a list of low-calorie foods you can add to your fat-loss diet.
Apples
Apples are a fat-loss superstar. “They are nature's edible appetite suppressant. So apples are the overachievers of the fruit world. They're loaded with fiber, especially pectin, which turns into a gel in your stomach, slowing digestion and keeping you fuller,” Dan Go shares. The high water content and low-calorie count of apples make them a perfect snack. An apple a day could perhaps keep hunger at bay! “Plus, you gotta chew the heck out of them. And that chewing tells your brain, hey, what's up? We're eating something that is substantial over here,” he adds.
Blueberries
Another superfood you can add to your diet is blueberries. They pack a punch with low calories, high water, and plenty of fiber. Their low glycemic index ensures steady energy without blood sugar spikes or crashes. “They're tiny, mighty, and very blood sugar friendly. They bulk up your snack game without ballooning your calorie count,” the coach affirms. Rich in anthocyanins, a type of antioxidants they help regulate insulin and inflammation. They are huge players in the hunger control game, the fitness coach adds.
Potatoes
Yes, you heard that right. Eat your potatoes and you will feel fuller for a long time. “These are the satiety king. Boiled potatoes top the satiety index for a reason. They're 79% water packed with resistance starch and are naturally low in calories per gram,” the coach says. He also recommends eating them cooked and cooled, so that it could be a ‘gut friendly starch boost’. The coach also stresses that carbohydrates are important for your fat loss journey, “Carbs aren't evil.”
Asparagus
If you love asparagus, go ahead. At just 20 calories per half cup, asparagus keeps you fuller for longer hours. “They are gonna make your pee smell funny, but they give you serious fullness,” he says. Asparagus is rich in insoluble fiber and also has a low glycemic index and even a decent protein punch for a veggie.
Lean white fish
Last on his list is white fish. “With over 200 on the satiety index and just a hundred and nine calories per cooked filet, lean fish is like the ninja of appetite control,” the coach says. Whitefish have high protein content and yet are low in calories, which makes them super satisfying. “You eat it and you actually do feel like a machine,” he notes.
