For sustainable weight loss and overall well-being here are the foods you must add to your diet for burning fat and cutting calories.

“Most of us are always on the lookout for ways to lose weight. While weight loss is not a magic bullet for health, it can only happen when you burn more calories than you ingest, leading your body to preferentially break down lipid stores for energy,” says Nutritionist Lovneet Batra in her recent Instagram post.

Moong Dal: It is high in protein and fibre, and leads to an increase in the satiety hormone called cholecystokinin, which helps you stay full for longer. The thermic effect of protein in dal makes it a superfood for reducing belly fat.

Buttermilk: Being a low-calorie beverage, this magical drink may aid in weight loss. Additionally, it helps in promoting satiety and reducing appetite.

Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which may further support weight management.

Ragi: Adding ragi to your diet can be life-changing. This important millet is a rich source of methionine an essential amino acid that plays a vital role in elimination of excess fat.

Amaranth: The gluten-free grain is high in protein and fibre, both the nutrients that may help reduce appetite and increase weight loss.

Cauliflower: Like other vegetables, cauliflower is high in fibre and contains a decent amount of protein. A combination of protein, fibre, and low-calorie content makes cauliflower the perfect foods to include in your meals if you want to lose weight.
