The following superfoods are smart, low-calorie choices that will benefit your weight-loss efforts:
Green Tea – Researchers suspect that the catechins (beneficial phytochemicals) in green tea may cause weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and slightly reduce body fat. So enjoy a hot cup or a nice large iced glass of green tea.
Stock or tomato-based soup – Soups can help reduce pre-meal hunger and increase your sense of satiety.

Experts say there are two basic categories of foods that can be considered “hold-off superfoods” because they fill your belly without piling on the calories: fruits and vegetables. And the nutrient that gives fruits and vegetables ‘staying power’? Fiber. So if fruits and vegetables are the ‘stay-away superfood groups’, fiber could well be the ‘stay-off supernutrient’. Protein is another supernutrient. It is increasingly scientifically accepted that protein can help curb appetite. Protein also provides endurance and can boost your metabolism somewhat. But it’s imperative that you choose your protein wisely, because like all other foods, if you eat more than your body needs, it will show up on the scale as a gain rather than a loss.
