All workout plans can become impotent if you do not have an active diet plan to lose weight. No amount of cardio, CrossFit or HIIT workouts will be able to salvage your abs and lats if you do not pay enough attention to what you eat. You should start cutting back on processed food, trans fat, and soda to take the first step towards welcoming a positive change in diet and lifestyle.

To feel less puffy throughout the day, you can always fill up on healthier food like these instead –

Oats

Oats have a good quantity of natural fiber, along with a generous dose of antioxidants, healthy fatty acids, anti-cancer compounds, and magnesium. The fiber in the grains will help you feel full for a longer time, and it will stimulate proper bowel movement even when you cut down on bulk food consumption.

Quinoa

Quinoa is a superfood that has achieved fame in the recent years. It is a robust alternative to rice, wheat, and starchy grains. It has a vast collection of anti-inflammatory proteins, omega three fatty acids, amino acids and slow digesting carbohydrates.

Nuts

All kinds of nuts including almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and peanuts are an excellent source of proteins and good fatty acids. Vegans can easily choose nuts as an alternate source of proteins. You can replace your high carb and fatty snacks with about 100 grams of peanuts per day for a significant change in your metabolism.

Smoothies

Fruit smoothies and vegetable smoothies with a generous dose of yogurt or protein powder are great for those working out while trying to lose weight. The presence of protein can ensure healthy and fast burning of fat. Adding berries to your smoothie is a smart way to introduce antioxidants and fat burning compounds in your system.

You can ensure faster burning of fat by adding natural steroidal supplements to your smoothie. Always buy supplements from a reliable store. Check with your trainer and check the store reviews before you start taking any anabolic steroid supplement with your regular food.

Fish

Almost all kinds of fish including halibut, tuna, salmon, and sardines have a lot of omega-3 fatty acids. They are rich in vitamin A as well. A serving of fish can help you feel full and reduce cravings for the rest of the day/evening.

Lentils and beans

It is a must addition to all vegan and vegetarian diets out there. They are high in proteins, necessary fatty acids, essential amino acids, vitamin B and minerals. Beans, chickpeas, peas and lentils are prevalent everywhere, and you can make them a regular part of your daily meals too.

At the same time, be partial to leafy greens, probiotics and whole grains. Avocados can be a little challenging to find considering the recent craze about this superfruit. You can also try gooseberries in place of avocados, they are just as rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, and they torch stored fat faster.
