We have reached out to her for food advice to those who are starting a weight loss plan. If you are one of these people, here are a few choices of food you can try out to keep your weight in check while enjoying a delicious meal.

Whole Eggs

What was once feared as food that is high in cholesterol, whole eggs are finally making a comeback. The fears were based on misconceptions on how our body works to regulate cholesterol levels. While people should stay away from adding too much cholesterol into their diet, it has been shown that having a moderate egg consumption in your diet – around 4-7 eggs a week, is a safe estimate for many people.

Eggs are enriched with nutrients which makes you feel full even though you have had small portions of it, so your hunger is better controlled.

Salmon is another food rich in healthy nutrients. It is loaded with healthy fats, quality protein, and a variety of other nutrients that keep you satiated and help you achieve a healthier weight.

Additionally, salmon consists of omega-3 fatty acids which can help to reduce inflammation and inflammation plays a big role in metabolic diseases and obesity. Always choose wild salmon when you can.
