Losing weight is no easy task but if you put the right foods in your body, it’s a very easily obtainable goal. In fact, there are certain foods that you can eat which will help you lose weight just by eating those foods. If you’d like to learn what those foods are and need to lose a few extra pounds, scroll down and read about the foods listed below. We guarantee you that these foods will help you lose weight, feel better, look better, and best of all, they don’t cost a ton of money. Now, what are you waiting for? It’s time for us to start.

Sweet Potatoes

The first cheap food on our list that will help you lose weight is the sweet potato. Not only can you do a lot with these foods taste wise but they are also very filling. We’ve even heard rumors that your body expends more calories burning a sweet potato than is in the actual sweet potato. So, in theory, you could lose weight just by eating them and doing nothing else. So, the next time you’re in the grocery store, pick up a few and have them for lunch 3 or 4 days a week. They’ll work wonders for your body and you’ll lose weight.

Bananas

The next food on this list is the banana. These are packed with potassium which is good for you, they give you energy (it’s nature’s energy drink), and they are very filling. If you’re on the go and need a quick lunch or don’t have time to fix breakfast, have yourself a banana with a glass of iced water. Not only will they give you your sugar fix but they’ll keep you full until the next meal and they taste great. Not a fan of bananas? Try blending one or two bananas into a smoothie with a little bit of milk and some of your other favorite fruits.

Lean Meat

Yes, we know. This is a pretty broad category but we had to include it. The two big lean meats that we think you should incorporate into your diet to lose weight are chicken and turkey. Turkey is a little more in the pricey said but frozen chicken breasts (boneless) can be bought for pretty cheap. Prepare them in the oven with a little bit of lemon and pepper. It not only tastes great but it’s packed with protein and will help you lose weight.

And that’s it! As you may have noticed, we gave you lean meat, a fruit, and a vegetable. That’s really all you need! As long as you are drinking plenty of water and eating foods like this regularly, the fat will literally melt right off. Throw in 30 minutes of walking a day or some jumping jacks and you’ll lose even more weight. Just be sure that you don’t do too much or cut out food completely as that may help you lose weight but you’ll gain fat and it isn’t good for you. Now, what are you waiting for?
