Dieting to target stubborn fat areas like your belly, love handles, and hips can be tough. Cutting calories often leads to feelings of deprivation and hunger. However, there are delicious, low-calorie foods that can help you stay full and satisfied while maintaining a calorie deficit. Here are twenty of the best options:
Shirataki NoodlesAlso known as konjac or miracle noodles, shirataki noodles are incredibly low in calories—just about 20 calories per 8-ounce serving.
In contrast, regular pasta contains around 300 calories for the same portion. These noodles are rich in insoluble fiber, which means they are not fully absorbed by your body, resulting in a net intake of only 7.5 calories. This makes them an excellent choice for reducing calorie intake while still enjoying pasta-like dishes.
Slim RiceSimilar to shirataki noodles, slim rice is another low-calorie option made from konjac flour.
It contains only 7-9 calories per 100-gram serving, compared to over 110 calories for the same amount of brown rice. Slim rice is also gluten-free and has a texture similar to regular rice, making it a versatile choice for various meals.
CucumberCucumbers are incredibly low in calories and high in water, with 97% of their content being water. A 100-gram serving contains only 15 calories. Cucumbers can help reduce hunger and control blood sugar levels.
