8 Secret Superfoods For Weight Loss (4 of 5)

Dulse

Many people have tried seaweed through eating sushi. But that is only representative of a small portion of seaweed types and ways to enjoy it. An additional seaweed option that is packed with nutrients is dulse. It is high in vitamins and minerals, especially iodine. Iodine is essential to thyroid function, which is a major part of losing weight. You can find dulse in flake form, which can be shaken onto vegetables, soups, and salads.

Chia Seeds

Chia seed is the not-so-secret-anymore superfood that has become mainstream. It is still one of the most powerful foods you can incorporate into your diet. “Chia seeds give you stable energy because of their great ratio of protein, fats, and fiber combined with the fact that they’re low-carb. They won’t cause spikes and drops in blood sugar or insulin levels, preventing cravings and overeating later,” says Carolyn Brown, MS, RD at Foodtrainers. Chia can be made into a pudding, baked into foods, or added to smoothies.
