19. Oats
Oats make a good diet staple if you are trying to lose weight. These healthy carbs are considered to help boost your metabolism. They are also a great source of dietary fiber, which can help you feel fuller longer.
An oatmeal breakfast is an excellent way to start your day, as long as you stick to plain oats with no added flavoring. If you want to sweeten your oatmeal, opt for healthy sweeteners such as banana puree or sugar-free applesauce. You can also customize its flavor with add-ins such as almond milk, cinnamon, cardamom and cayenne pepper. Fiber-rich berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries also make delicious toppings that provide added nutrients.
But do not limit yourself to oatmeal. There are many other ways you can include oats in your diet such as blending them into your smoothie, making your own snack bars, adding them to your baked goodies, and turning them into a healthy dessert.
