and sugar are strictly no-no for weight watchers. Avoid desserts, ice
creams, etc;

cheese in diet; they contain “good proteins” which help suppress
cravings for food. They are essential in building muscles;

carbohydrates which are moderate on calories and fats, they are
consumed slowly by the body and thus they help suppress hunger
naturally;

rich Omega 3 fatty acids which help prevent blood clotting, regulate
blood pressure, and lower risk of heart failure. They are helpful in

meals. Smaller meals at shorter intervals help metabolism and burn
fat; it helps to lose weight;

hunger. It takes longer in digestion and passing through the body it

from being digested. Whole grains, brown rice, figs, Apples, broccoli,
peas, lentils, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits and nuts are high on
fiber content;
