The main problem with Diet's in my opinion is the first 3 letters- DIE

Please note that no diet is the be-all, end-all for your health needs. You can lose weight on just about any diet, so long as you’re in a caloric deficit (that is, you burn more calories than you consume). (1) The same is true if you’re looking to put on some muscle mass. No diet is necessarily better than the other in accomplishing this. Prioritize calories first, and then choose a diet style based on your preference.

Keto, Low Carb, intermittent fasting are popular. What if we start a Healthy eating plan that fits our goals and needs without starving outselves?

5 FAT Busting Foods

1. Avocado
Avocados are nutrient powerhouses that pack good fat in addition to fiber, antioxidants, and numerous vitamins
and minerals—including potassium, a mineral that supports heart function and also helps regulate blood pressure
by acting as a natural diuretic, to sweep excess sodium and fluid out of the body.

2. Nuts
Government tracking data shows that adults who regularly eat a daily average of at least a quarter ounce of tree nuts—
including almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, filberts (hazelnuts), macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts—have a lower BMI and blood pressure than non-nut eaters.
They also have smaller waist measurements, an indicator of belly fat accumulation.

3. I have always considered lentils to be one of the most underrated superfoods on the planet. In addition to being naturally gluten-free, affordable, eco-friendly, versatile, and satisfying, lentils are incredibly nutritious.
They're chock full of plant protein, key minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, and they're king when it comes to fiber.

4. Whole Grains
The popularity of keto and paleo diets have caused many people to shun grains altogether,
but whole grains are actually health-protective in a number of ways, including a reduction in belly fat.
Research that involved more than 2,800 participants of the Framingham Heart Study found that whole-grain intake was
inversely associated with both subcutaneous and visceral belly fat,
whereas refined grains, like white bread, rice, and pasta, increased belly fat.

5. WILD Salmon
Vitamin D is important for a number of functions, including immunity, bone-density regulation, and mental health.
Research also shows that a low blood vitamin D level is tied to an increase in
both total body fat and visceral belly fat in women, and visceral belly fat in men.
