WEIGHT LOSS

BEST FOODS FOR WEIGHT LOSS

I recommend the following foods when looking to lose weight effectively;

Wholegrains

Whole grains like oats, white rice, and cereals can support your weight loss process. They are packed with fiber, which increases satiety feelings and improves metabolism and protein, which are essential for weight reduction.

Cruciferous and Leafy Greens

They include kales, cabbage, spinach, Brussel sprouts, and broccoli, provide the body with soluble fibers, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, and have low-calorie levels. They significantly raise satiety levels, aid in appetite regulation, increase hydration, and release thylakoid effects which assist in weight reduction. 

 Nuts

Most nuts like peanuts, cashew nuts, and more are rich in healthy fats, dietary fiber, proteins, low in calories, and other beneficial nutrients that can support weight loss. These properties enhance fullness feelings, boost metabolism, speed up fat burning and help you lose weight while maintaining moderate nutrient intake.

Grapefruit

It is packed with fiber nutrients that can increase fullness or satiety, prompting you to consume fewer calories, especially when taken as snacks to curb hunger.

Other foods are soups, eggs, salmon, tuna, and avocados.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
