The 10 Best Winter Foods For Weight Loss

The 10 Best Winter Foods For Weight Loss

- 

CHICKEN SOUP

Soups have a large volume, which means they are extremely satiating, even when they have relatively few calories. And despite the fact that liquids can be less satisfying than solid foods, research has found that hot soups, like chicken and rice, are the exception. Bonus: There’s evidence that chicken soup can help you recuperate faster from a cold, too.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Winter squashes like creamy butternut (try one of these delicious butternut squash recipes) are sky high in belly-filling fiber and relatively low in calories—just 63 per cubed cup!—meaning they fill you up without filling you out. Butternut is also a potent source of beta-carotene and vitamin C, both antioxidants that will help keep your immune system in top shape so you can be active and ready to exercise or move your body more all season long. Simply roast them to bring out their natural sweetness, or whip them into this Roasted Squash and Apple Soup.
