16 Foods That Help You Lose Weight Really Fast
1. Cheese
Foods high in calcium like yogurt, cheese, milk & kale can boost your weight loss by 70% and also verified in this study…
- People who got more calcium in their weight loss diet Lost 5 times more belly fat and twice as much weight overall than those who didn't get enough calcium in their weight loss diet.
- The reason calcium is magical for weight loss is it suppresses calcitriol which is a hormone responsible for making you fatter so less calcitriol = more weight loss.
- Calcium reduces your appetite so you'll eat less & lose more weight faster like the women in this study here who lost 6 times more weight with more calcium in their diet.
The brain can detect the lack of calcium and that makes you want to eat more working against your weight loss goals but sufficient calcium intake seems to stifle the desire to eat more Angelo Tremblay, senior researcher of Laval University
2. Oatmeal
- Oatmeal is high in resistant starch (See green bananas below for how this helps you lose weight)
- Oatmeal keeps you full or satisfied longer than any other breakfast cereal.
- Oatmeal is high in fiber that research has shown to reduce belly fat
- Oatmeal keeps your blood sugar in check preventing hunger & less blood sugar means less insulin & less fat storing and more fat burning (Apples & Cinnamon also do this)

Cinnamon makes weight loss easier by lowering your blood sugar levels to get rid of your sugar cravings so sprinkle some on your favorite foods but just don't do any cinnamon challenges…
10. Boiled Potatoes
Boiled potatoes have the highest satiety rating among all foods.
- Satiety is basically a measure of how long you stay full or satisfied after eating something so just like the apples & bananas already mentioned on this page...
- You're going to tend to eat a lot less after having a boiled potato and eating less or eating the right amount of calories is key for you losing weight.
Oranges, Fish & Popcorn also have high satiety ratings.
11. Fish
All fish like Cod, Salmon, Tuna & Sardines help you lose weight by regulating the amount of a fat-burning hormone called Leptin that suppresses your appetite. Leptin means "thin" in Greek

The magic weight loss ingredient in Chili Peppers is capsaicin.
- Capsaicin causes you to release a hormone that kills your hunger called serotonin

Capsaicin is also found in Habanero chili, Thai, Cayenne, Jalapeno & Jamaica peppers & Anaheim.
15. Pork Chops?
A study funded by the pork chop cheerleaders (the National Pork Board) would have you believe if you just eat more pork chops you'll lose weight faster but…
- Pork Chops are high in protein and when your diet is at least 30% protein you're always going to lose weight faster (see why) so…
