Weight loss: these 7 food combinations will help you lose weight effectively

It’s a myth that crash dieting or starving yourself while depriving your body of vital vitamins and nutrients can magically melt away fat and reduce your weight. Except during intermittent fasting, where there is a window period of fasting and feasting, starvation does not help with weight loss.

Regular exercise, healthy diet and adopting the right kind of diet will bring positive results. However, you can try different food combinations to speed up the weight loss process. Keep reading to find out which food combinations could help speed up your weight loss journey.

Here are some of the best food combos to help you lose weight faster:

1. Apples and peanut butter

When it comes to winning food pairings that can help with weight loss, apples and peanut butter are a perennial favorite. Both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids are present in peanut butter, which can help with weight loss by making you feel full longer. Spread your favorite peanut butter on an apple loaded with fiber, a nutrient that can help reduce visceral fat. Preferably, the components should only be peanuts and salt.

2. Avocados and leafy greens

Even though a green or side salad is low in calories and high in nutrients, you may still feel hungry after eating it. Add avocado as a garnish to fill it out. Since it contains a type of healthy fat, i.e. monounsaturated, which wards off hunger, it is probably more filling. As an added benefit, avocado aids in the body’s absorption of disease-fighting antioxidants from vegetables.

3. Eggs and peppers

You’ll be able to quickly fit into your skintight pants with this mighty pair of fry. Choline, a substance that speeds up metabolism, is found in eggs, while bell peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C. Getting enough nutrients can help fight cortisol, a hormone that promotes abdominal fat accumulation . You can cut a bell pepper in half and hollow it out. Crack an egg inside and cook until cooked. Season and enjoy this quick snack.

4. Banana Nut Butter

Eat one carb and one protein at every meal, that’s the basic idea behind carb pairing. Healthy complex carbs and lean protein sources work well together for more reasons than just post-workout muscle regeneration. Plus, it keeps you full longer. Proteins and good fats inhibit the body’s digestion of sweets, preventing blood sugar spikes. Bananas provide you with carbs, while peanut butter provides you with protein and fat.

5. Green tea and lemon

Tea is a miraculous drink that helps in losing weight and burning belly fat. ECGC, a fat-burning antioxidant, is particularly abundant in green tea. Plus, it’s high in catechins, another antioxidant that helps your liver convert fat into energy and may promote the release of fat from fat cells. Green tea, which contains pectin and polyphenols, which have been shown to help individuals feel fuller and lose weight, is enhanced by adding a squeeze of lemon.

6. Dark chocolate and nuts

You can eat chocolate while maintaining a healthy weight, but only if it’s dark chocolate. Dark chocolate helps control appetite and contains MUFAs, which are beneficial fats that help burn fat. Due to their high vitamin and nutrient content and their ability to speed up metabolism, almonds can dramatically increase weight loss. You can substitute almonds with peanuts, walnuts, and other healthy nuts.

7. Coffee and coconut oil

The bulletproof coffee made popular by keto dieters is the coconut oil in coffee. Because coconut oil contains a substantial amount of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which increase energy levels and kick-start sluggish metabolisms, coconut oil not only helps control appetite, but also helps to burn fat. On the other hand, caffeine speeds up your metabolism and helps burn calories faster.

These food combinations will help you lose weight faster and provide you with the nutrients and energy you need.
