The veggies and fruits you eat can help you cut flab. "Those prone to high oxidative stress have a slow metabolism and they struggle to lose and maintain weight. Foods rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals rev up metabolism and help you shed excess kilos.
Consume brightly-coloured foods like tomatoes, bell peppers and spinach as they are loaded with phytochemicals," says Prevention advisor Ishi Khosla. Load up on peas, red grapes, strawberries and pomegranate in winter and and watermelon and pumpkin in summer to keep your weight in check.
"Plus, there are lowcal foods like cucumber and carrots that help in keeping hunger pangs at bay because they have higher water content and fibre to keep you feeling full for longer," adds Khosla. Recent studies also suggest that adding chillies (all colours) to your diet may help with weight loss as capsaicin, a key chemical found in them, may boost the calorie-burning process
