A top doctor has shed light on the benefits of incorporating foods like chicken breast and tofu into your diet for those looking to slim down.
Professor Franklin Joseph from Dr Frank's Weight Loss Clinic highlights that lean proteins such as these can keep you feeling full for an extended period and "maintains muscle mass during weight loss".He also recommends a high-fibre diet with plenty of vegetables, legumes, and whole grains to stave off hunger pangs.
He told Reach PLC: "Incorporating these into your diet will slow digestion and reduce cravings."For those who find sugary drinks a stumbling block in their weight loss journey, Professor Joseph suggests green tea and water as superior alternatives.
Green tea, in particular, is lauded by him as "a standout" for its metabolism-boosting and fat-burning antioxidants, Surrey Live reports.However, water remains the ultimate choice, with the professor claiming that even just one glass before a meal can help curb overeating.
