1. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are packed with antioxidants that help keep you healthy. Lycopene, a great antioxidant found in tomatoes, helps reduce inflammation in the body and regulates leptin levels—a hormone that regulates appetite, which can help reduce cravings.
Additionally, they are low in calories (an average tomato contains 22 calories) and high in vitamin C – an antioxidant linked to increased fat burning, especially during exercise. Opt for organic tomatoes, as one study showed that organic tomatoes contain over 55% more vitamin C.

2. Berries
Harvard University researchers discovered that eating berries can help you avoid weight gain because they contain lower glycemic index, meaning blood sugar levels are less likely to spike when you're hungry. Berries also contain fiber – one cup of raspberries contains up to 8g of fiber, which can help you lose weight by making you feel fuller for longer. An animal study showed that eating blueberries may reduce belly fat.
3. Seafood Ceviche Salad
Ceviche (also known as seafood salad) is popular in coastal regions of Central and South America. This dish is made from fresh fish just caught from the river. The chef then marinates slices of fresh fish with lemon or orange juice and adds seasonings to "cook" them.
This food contains plenty of saturated protein, a macronutrient that supports weight loss, as well as omega-3 fatty acids that aid in weight loss. In one study, mice that ate fish oil lost more weight and burned more calories.
