How Beets Are Helping People Lose Weight

There are a lot of foods that are commonly classified under superfoods - foods that have a wide variety of health and nutritional benefits that make them even better for you to eat than normal foods.

You’ve probably heard of a few of these, one of the most popular being avocado, but just eating avocado gets old pretty quickly. A new superfood on the rise lately is beets. More specifically, it’s the root of the beet plant that has all of the nutritional value.

The greens of the plant aren’t good for humans to eat, but the dark red roots have a wide variety of benefits. It’s important that you avoid eating the green leaves of the plant, because they can make you sick.

The red roots can be prepared in a number of ways, from raw slices to boiled chunks, and even as a juice. You can incorporate beets into your diet by having a smoothie in the morning and some roasted cuts as a side in your dinner.

One of the major benefits of beets is their use in weight loss plans. Beets are extremely low in calories and in fats, but have some carbohydrates. This makes them a great option for a smoothie base or a side dish for a more protein rich meal.

A proper calorie balance as well as a proper macronutrient balance are extremely important to losing weight. They can be seasoned to taste, of course, but are actually quite good on their own.

Another benefit of beets are the vitamins and minerals they contain. For example, beets are very high in vitamin C, which can help stave off a variety of diseases by boosting the immune system.

Another significant thing beets contain a lot of is fiber, which can help significantly with the digestive process, helping you lose more weight faster. Proper digestive function is often overlooked in the weight loss process, but it’s the primary means by which you flush out your system.

Research has also shown that beets have a great deal of disease fighting properties. Their high levels of vitamins are a major plus for common infectious diseases, keeping your body healthy enough to fight them off its own.

However, a much more significant find has shown that beets may have nutrients in them that can prevent cancer. Primarily, it helps boost your body’s cells that prevent cancerous tumors from appearing in the first place.

How Sesame Seeds Can Help You Shed Pounds

Losing weight isn’t as hard as you might think - not with a nutritionally powerful, well known seed as one of your weight loss tools. Sesame seeds have been around for many years and are widely used due to their nutritional value.

But they’re also known to help people shed unwanted pounds. The seed, as well as the oil from the seed, are known for its durability so the seed keeps fresher and doesn’t go bad at the rate that other oils spoil.

These seeds can be found in a variety of colors and the taste is a slightly sweet nutty taste. The seed contains a lot of nutrients that help you boost your health as well as leads to weight loss.

They’re rich in both protein and fiber but also loaded with magnesium and a host of vitamins. The magnesium in the seeds can help regulate blood sugar, lessen bloating and boost your metabolism.

As if that weren’t already enough, the seeds also contain polyphenols. These are compounds at known to cause a fat burning reaction in the body. With their help, you’ll be able to finally lose the weight you want to lose.

The seeds high fiber count work to help you with hunger pangs. Because they contain so much fiber, the seeds don’t digest quickly. You end up feeling fuller longer which will make it easier to stick to whatever diet plan you’re on.

These seeds make your digestive system have to work harder to process them which also helps you to lose weight. The protein in the seeds also gives you more of a steady and gradual blood sugar lowering, versus a quick rise and fall that foods without a lot of protein or fiber will give you.

But also, because the seeds are rich in both protein and fiber, you’ll lose the weight you want to lose but you won’t lose muscle mass. The seeds stimulate the production of enzymes in the body that also boost fat burning and weight loss.

When this happens, they also lower your body’s ability to hold onto fat. Sesame seeds are rich in calcium, too. This mineral boosts your metabolism, helps you lose weight and once you lose it, works to help you keep it off.

Some people eat the seeds as a plain snack. But there are plenty of ways you can consume sesame seeds to help you get rid of those extra pounds. These seeds can be add to plenty of food dishes, both hot and cold.

You can add them to a salad, mix them with soups, add them to a casserole or put them into a yogurt.

Eat This Cheese Before Bed to Lose Weight

People are always looking for minor tips and tricks that they can add on to their diets to help them lose more and more weight. There are plenty of vitamins and supplements that you can take, as well as a variety of items that you can cut out of your diet.

One of the tricks that’s fairly commonly spread around is that you shouldn’t eat too late or right before bed, and that does have some truth to it. When it comes to many foods, especially those that are high in carbs, you shouldn’t eat them right before bed.

If your body isn’t using those carbs, they’ll start to be converted into fat cells, and the process will move quickly if you’re lying dormant for around 8 hours. However, a recent trick has shown that this rule of thumb isn’t always true.

Some researchers have found that eating cottage cheese before bed can actually help you lose weight instead of packing on pounds. This is simply because cottage cheese is low in carbs but is very high in protein.

This protein-carb ratio is key for dieting in all aspects, but can have an even greater impact in your late night snacks. A single cup of cottage cheese contains around 25 grams of protein while only containing about 8 grams of carbs.

This is similar to the ratio found in many protein shakes that weightlifters use after a workout, meaning it’s good for increasing your muscle development. When your body gets a large dose of protein overnight, it uses that to build up muscle and break down fats while you’re asleep.

Cottage cheese on its own might not sound appealing to some people, but there are certainly alternatives to achieve a similar effect. Naturally, you can have just about any variety of meat, as long as it’s not doused in carb-filled batter or anything like that.

Grilled chicken would make a good choice if you wanted something simple yet healthy to eat before bed. For some people, the best option is making a protein shake. Powdered whey protein comes in a vast selection of good flavors, from chocolate to strawberry banana.

They’re really quick and easy to make, which makes for a good quick bedtime snack. The protein in them comes from whey, which is a byproduct of the production of cheese, much like the curds in cottage cheese.
