If you've been trying to lose weight safely but find that the scale hasn't budged just yet, it may be time to take a second look at the ingredients you're routinely stocking in your kitchen. Heavily processed foods can make it difficult to maintain steady weight loss,
but some of the best foods to help you lose weight are high in fiber, which many are surprised to learn is a form of a carbohydrate. Fibrous foods are often naturally lower in calories, help keep you satiated after a meal and also regulate blood sugar levels. Research suggests that the more dietary fiber that one incorporates into their daily routine, the more they're able to work against "abdominal fat depots."
