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)
42 Ways to Curb Hunger & Cravings
3. Apples
Apples contain a very special fiber called Pectin &…
- Pectin is a strong appetite suppressant that keeps you satisfied for long periods of time (about 1-to-2 hours longer than regular fiber) without using any expensive appetite suppressant drugs.
- In this Brazilian study women lost 33% more weight when eating apples before their meals.
- Pectin regulates your blood sugar which is also prevents you from overeating and better blood sugar control means less fat is being stored & lower insulin leading to more fat burning.
Pectin is also found in apricots, bananas, cabbage, carrots, legumes, onions, peaches, oranges & grapefruit.
4. Guava
Guavas are high in vitamin C &…
- It's been proven if you get enough vitamin C in your diet you'll burn 30% more fat when exercising.
- Vitamin C helps keep cortisol in check which prevents you from gaining too much belly fat.
Other foods high in high in vitamin C are Yellow Bell Peppers, Kale, Kiwi, Broccoli, Strawberries & Papaya.
5. Broccoli
Broccoli contains Sulforaphane and just like adrenaline… Sulforaphane also stimulates enzymes to burn more fat.
Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Kale, Kohlrabi, Collards & Radishes are all high in Sulforaphane.
6. Green Bananas or Plantains
Bananas or Plantains are high in Resistant starch &…
- Resistant starch helps you store less fat and burn 30% more fat after you eat a meal.
- Resistant Starch improves insulin sensitivity which basically means there is less insulin floating around in your body which allows more fat burning (not fat storing) to occur.
- Resistant starch helps you feel full and eat much less over long periods of time for faster weight loss.
- Resistant starch (or bananas) is used in the highly successful banana diet
More foods loaded with resistant starch include navy beans, high amylose cornstarch, potatoes, lentils, oatmeal, parboiled rice, green peas & cashews.
7. Grass Fed Beef
Grass Fed Beef contains lots of CLA which is basically a healthy fat that burns fat
- CLA helped people in this study lose 9% of their body fat without making any changes to their diet or exercise program.
- This study showed how CLA helped people lose an inch off their waistline.
Other foods high in CLA include other grass fed ruminants like goats, sheep & deer along with other dairy products
8. Brazil Nuts
Brazil Nuts are rich in selenium which helps your body produce more thyroid hormones that give you more energy and keep your fat burning metabolism high
9. Cinnamon
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
12. Avocados
Avocados can kill hunger for up to 5 hours or decrease your desire to eat by 40% according to this report here & when you're not hungry… You don't eat as much (calories) meaning you'll lose weight much faster.
13. Pine Nuts
Pine Nuts contain pinoliec acid which forces your body to release 2 powerful appetite suppressing hormones (CCK & GLP-1) & Pine nuts contain the highest amount of protein of any nut.
14. Chili Peppers
The magic weight loss ingredient in Chili Peppers is capsaicin.
- Capsaicin causes you to release a hormone that kills your hunger called serotonin
- Adding Capsaicin to your daily meals can increase your metabolism by 50-to-100 calories which adds up to you losing an extra 5-to-10 pounds of fat each year.
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…
- It's not about eating more pork chops - It's about getting more protein in your diet with pork chops and/or these high protein foods
- Pork chops are also high in selenium (see #8 above about brazil nuts)
16. Drink This
- Skim milk & yogurt smoothies (see #1)
- Geen Tea (see why)
- V8 or vegetable juice (see #3 here)

Hi I'm 40 years old. I have a plate with screws in my arm so it's difficult to do any sort of heavy lifting. I'm at 245 and I should be at 150. What's the best way to lose all this weight?

Adrian, I have tried some of your exercise along with eating below my daily calorie intake (1900), and I have only lost minimal weight. I exercise 30 minutes three to four times a day. I am 65 years old and really want to get rid of this 30 lbs. I do have degenerated disc disease in my lower back and do not want this to stop my efforts. Please, what do you recommend that I change. Should count my calories by eating from McDonalds or Chic-fila? I live alone and the purchase of foods to do meal planning can be costly for one person. Please help!
Thanking you in advance.
September 17, 2018
first of all, count the calories in anything you eat and also double check that 1900 calorie count.

Hi Adrian,
I normally start the day with raw apple cyder vinegar and then coffee. When I'm doing the fastening, will the coffee destroy it? And what about ginger tea during evening?
Thank you

NO CALORIES during the fasting period. fasting means no calories so YES... it will mess up the fasting but if the calorie amount is very low it wont destroy or mess up your weight loss dreams

Hello, I'm 46 and have been dealing with an auto-immune disease which affects my muscles, for the last 27 years. I've gained weight due to some of my medicines and not being able to really exercise. My disease is now under control and I want to get back into exercising and eating right, but I don't know where to begin. Although I know I'll need to build up strength and endurance, I tend to give up if I don't see some type of result within a reasonable time. Please help!

Hi Adrian,
Ive been working out over the summer

Also I want to lift heavy but I want to still lose some more body fat from my arms, their not fat butt I want them slender like before but toned. Also I have that area in the mid and lower I want off.. About 2 to 3 inches so I can see a defined 6 pack, I want my butt to stay but keep it round and big. Oh my inner thighs too just a little I want my legs to stay sexy but tone them more. Im 5'10 weigh 170 now. I use to be 135,

Hi,
Do you have a DVD for the workouts? Please add me to your email list.

Is it better to eat a protein such as eggs after a workout in the morning, or oatmeal? I workout before eating.
January 11, 2017
does not matter if overall goal is weight loss. just how much or how many calories is what matters most
January 11, 2017
No food is going to make you burn fat by itself. This is some pretty poor advice. factuallyfit.com
You also confused cortisol - the stress hormone that causes midsection fat storage, with calcitriol, a form of CALCIUM. You know, the mineral that you're saying is GOOD for weightloss. LMAO
December 31, 2015
no confusion here. here's the proof backing up my claim about calcium
I also know the difference between cortisol and calcitriol
If this was an attempt to get more traffic to your website and then clicks to make sales off your aff. link then I must say "well played sir"

Hi, I am 34 years old-- 5'8" and 180 lbs. My goal weight is 140 lb, but I would like to lose as much weight as possible (even if it's just temporary) in the next 2 weeks for a wedding. I've always had a difficult time losing weight. I eat very little dairy (usually just yogurt), wheat, & eggs due to sensitivities to those foods. For the last 3 weeks I have been working out, drinking only water, and have cut out carbs almost 100%, but have only lost 5 lbs. Any recommendations?

Hi,
I am a 20-year-old girl who is overweight... I am 160 cm and weigh 94 kg. I really want to lose weight, but I don't know which program to follow and I have heard that some of the tips that you have mentioned isn't good for losing weight by other professionals for example eating cheese. Can you tell me which one I should use and also how to prevent loose skin while losing weight. Thank you so much!
