1: Grass-Fed Beef
Yeah, I know: grass-fed beef is a
little pricey. But its higher ratio of good-for-you fats make it well
worth the cost: A study in Nutrition Journal found that
grass-fed meat contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are
known to reduce the risk of heart disease. And when it comes to your
waistline, grass-fed beef is naturally leaner and has fewer calories
than conventional meat. Consider this: A 7-ounce conventional strip
steak, trimmed of fat, will run you 386 calories and 16 grams of fat.
But a 7-ounce grass-fed strip steak is only 234 calories and five grams
of fat—you'll save more than 150 calories and your steak will taste
better.
2: Olive Oil
3: Coconut
Coconut is high in saturated fat,
but more than half of that comes from lauric acid, a unique lipid that
battles bacteria and improves cholesterol scores. And get this: A study
published in Lipids found that dietary supplementation of coconut oil
actually reduced abdominal obesity. Of the participants, half were given
two tablespoons of coconut oil daily and the other half were given
soybean oil, and although both groups experienced overall weight loss,
only the coconut oil consumers' waistlines shrunk. Sprinkle unsweetened
flakes over yogurt or use coconut milk in a stir-fry to start whittling
your waist.
4: Dark Chocolate
Good news for your sweet tooth: Chocolate can help
you flatten your belly. Dark chocolate, that is. But to truly take
advantage, don't wait until dessert: A recent study found that when men
ate 3.5 ounces of chocolate two hours before a meal, those who had dark
chocolate took in 17 percent fewer calories than those that ate milk
chocolate. The researchers believe that this is because dark chocolate
contains pure cocoa butter, a source of digestion-slowing stearic acid.
Milk chocolate's cocoa butter content, on the other hand, is tempered
with added butter fat and, as a result, passes more quickly through your
GI tract. Because dark chocolate takes more time to process, it staves
off hunger and helps you lose weight.
5: Almond Butter
Numerous studies have indicated that almonds can help you lose weight despite their high fat content. In fact, a study from the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders
compared two diets over the course of six months. One group followed a
low-fat, calorie-restricted diet (18 percent fat) and the other followed
a moderate-fat diet (39 percent fat) in which the extra fat was
supplied by almonds. The latter group lost more weight than the low-fat
dieters, despite the fact that both groups consumed the same amount of
total calories. Furthermore, the almond eaters experienced a 50 percent
greater waistline reduction. How is this possible? Almonds contain
compounds that limit the amount of fat absorbed by the body, so some
passes through undigested. Try stirring almond butter into your oatmeal,
spreading it on toast with banana slices, or eating a couple spoonfuls
as a snack.
