A very good article that argues that "stocking a healthy fridge sets you up for weight loss success."
Thus, the author advocates you "try the 'see food” diet."
And by "see food diet," she means that you "rearrange the foods in your refrigerator to spot the healthiest ones first. Because according to a Cornell University study, you will be nearly three times more likely to eat them."
The four foods the author identifies are:
1. [Plain] Greek Yogurt
"Greek yogurt varieties tend to have twice the protein of regular yogurt and less belly-irritating lactose. And it's so versatile. Try using creamy plain Greek yogurt as a healthy swap for sour cream on baked potatoes, chili, tacos, and other dishes. Make sure to look for unsweetened, plain varieties (you can top them with a handful of your favorite berries or other fruit)—the fruit-flavored versions can be loaded with excess sugar."
2. Hard-Boiled Eggs
"For the mere 80 calories in a single egg, you get a healthy dose of satiating protein, antioxidants that keep your eyes healthy, and more power nutrients. Carb-light, protein-rich foods like eggs usually doesn’t cause digestion issues. Keep a bowl handy for a ridiculously easy, healthy snack."
3. Peanut Butter
"Rich in monounsaturated fats and folate, peanut butter makes a delicious condiment for bananas, celery, or a fiber-rich cracker. Note: The natural kind—which often contains just peanuts and some salt—will spoil more easily if not refrigerated."
4. Ready-to-Eat Green Salad
"All vegetyables are good for you. They are high in vitamins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and fiber and are generally low in calories and low in fat. But when it comes to shedding belly fat, especially look for those rich in anti- inflammatory magnesium and other important minerals, such as leafy green veggies (kale, Swiss chard, spinach), bell peppers, and eggplant."
