1-Strawberries
Fall is the perfect time to stock up on Strawberries — and it's especially good for your waistline. In a study from Harvard Medical School, researchers found an increased intake of flavonoid-rich fruits — this one, included! — could help prevent weight gain.
2-Cucumber
Since cucumbers are low calories (there's only 16 per cup when you slice 'em!), loaded with water, and contain hearty fiber in the peel, eating some every day as a snack can keep you feeling full, making you less likely to eat foods that make the number on the scale creep up.
3-Lentils
According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, all you need is one serving of lentils a day to lose weight thanks to their high protein content that combats hunger and diminishes cravings.
4-Blueberries
Like Strawberries, blueberries were also found to aid in weight control due to their high levels of anthocyanins. Up the amount, you eat on the regular by grabbing a carton for a healthy snack or adding them into your morning bowl of oatmeal.
5-Oatmeal
Speaking of oatmeal, the Cleveland Clinic says the high-fiber grain is a perfect addition to anyone's diet who's trying to shed some pounds. To cut down on excess — and unneeded — calories, make your oats with water and add a splash of almond milk when you're ready to eat.
