Ask anyone you know and they are sure to say that they are trying to lose weight.  There are those that diet all year long, and those that start dieting as a new years resolution.  If you are one of those who are on or wants to start a diet, there are several foods and suggestions that will help you get that weight off with more ease.

Water

The first and foremost thing to keep in mind is that you will lose that weight faster and easier if you drink a sufficient amount of water.  There are several research cases that indicate that you should drink up to sixteen ounces of water upon waking each day.  By drinking water when you first wake, you are revitalizing and refreshing your body after a long nights lack of water.

Green Tea

Green tea is one of the most widely mentioned choices when trying to lose weight.  Why you ask?  It turns out that this variation of tea contains phytonutrients, which are called catechins, which are known to give a slight metabolic boost, which in turn can aid in weight loss.  There are even studies that showed that green tea can help to significantly burn and reduce body fat.

Oatmeal

Eating oatmeal first thing in the morning will give you the alertness and energy you need throughout the day.  When eating oats, you are carb-loading with the type of carbs that will maintain a stable blood sugar level, that will not cause you to crash.

Blueberries

Blueberries have been in the news for years, simply for the antioxidants they contain.  The same antioxidants that fend of diseases and illnesses are also proven to help with the cardiovascular system and staving off dementia.

As you can see there are foods that you most probably have already been eating and had no idea that they are also good for helping to keep you on track with your weight loss goals.
