6. Fermented
Although it might sound gross off the bad, fermented foods are extremely helpful when you’re trying to lose weight, but some of these useful foods might be more familiar than you think. German sausage fans loved fermented cabbage in the form of sauerkraut, and Korean barbecue lovers know all about kimchi. Another type of fermented cabbage, a more commonly consumed fermented food, is yogurt, which people all over the world adore.
The reason these foods are so helpful is the live bacteria that reside inside them. They replenish our microbiomes, which aids our digestion and significantly assists with weight loss. Plus, eating fermented foods support your immune system, fights harmful bacteria, and helps get rid of toxins within your cell tissue. All of these things further assist with weight loss because they reduce your body’s overall inflammation and prevent insulin and leptin resistance, which are conditions that cause weight gain.
