Lose Inches Off Your Waistline With These 5 Delicious Foods

1. Canned Tuna - Tuna fish is an excellent and very popular health food, not to mention very tasty and convenient. Tuna is an excellent source of quality protein, potassium, B vitamins, selenium, magnesium, and omega 3 fatty acids. Tuna is great for cardiovascular health, and heart health.

2. Lean Chicken - Grilled, baked, roasted, broiled....Mmm! Chicken is extremely popular in the weight loss and bodybuilding community for it's protein content (over 60% of your daily value!), and also the fact that chicken is very low in fat. The chicken breast is the leanest part of the chicken and is the most recommended. Also, be sure that you get skinless chicken breast as this will lower the fat content even more.

3. Turkey - This is not just a very popular food during those great family holiday meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is also a pretty healthy meat. Just 4 ounces of turkey breast contains 65% of the daily value for protein. It is also an excellent source of B vitamins for cardiovascular health and energy.

4. Tofu - Discovered in Asia centuries ago, Tofu has become one of the most talked about health foods of today. Tofu is rich in protein, in particular soy protein. It also contains a good amount of other important fat burning and health improving minerals along with omega 3 fatty acids.

5. Almonds - Isn't it about time we can enjoy something that actually is a delicious snack, but is also good for you!? Almonds are high in fat? Don't be alarmed...I'm talking about good fat, such as the fat you find in Olive Oil. This type of fat is monounsaturated fat. They also contain a numerous amount of other important vitamins and minerals needed to aide in burning fat, losing weight, and building lean muscle.

Along with adding these delicious foods to your diet, always remember the basic core principles of a healthy lifestyle:

- Proper nutrition: Protein, fiber, complex carbs, healthy fats, and foods rich in vitamins and minerals.

- Eat 5-6 small meals daily instead of 3. This will help fire up your metabolism having you burn fat faster and lose inches off your waistline.

- Do not skip meals, and as the whole world already should know - don't skip breakfast!

- Drink a lot of water. I'm not talking about a few glasses, I'm talking about a gallon or more.

- Exercise (cardio and weight training)...consistently.

- Do not over work yourself in the gym...this could cause injury and no growth with your muscles.

- Get adequate sleep. You must get at the least 7 hours a night, but I recommend 8 or more.
