I Dropped From a Size 10 to a 4 by Eating These 10 Foods

If you want to lose weight, you need to focus on your diet. But, instead of restricting yourself, one expert recommends adding some healthy, filling foods. Tammi Kuthan is an influencer who helps women achieve fat loss over 40. In a new social media post, she recommends the nine foods she "ate on repeat" that helped her go from a size 10 to a size 4. "These are the foods that I ate over and over and continue to do so to maintain my results," she writes in the post.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes, "a complex carb that provides sustained energy," are first on her list. "They're also loaded with vitamins and minerals. They provide around 6 grams of fiber per medium-sized sweet potato. Enjoy them baked, mashed, or roasted."

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is number two. "1.33 servings has 20g of protein for 145 calories," she says. "I love to enjoy this high protein powerhouse by mixing it with muddled-up berries and 1 tsp of honey and topping it with Alyssa's oat bites. Pair it with 3 Jones chicken sausages for 10 more grams of protein!"

Berries

She also recommends berries. "Besides the fact that fruit is nature's dessert, berries have tons of fiber! 1 cup of raspberries/blackberries contain 8g of fiber!" she says. "I add them to yogurt bowls, pair them with my egg scrambles, or eat as dessert after my dinner meal."

Lesser Evil Popcorn

For a snack, she enjoys Lesser Evil Popcorn. "3 cups of this salty snack has 4g of fiber and just 120 calories," she says.

Ground Beef

She also recommends ground beef (93/7). "I love to season mine with spicy taco seasoning and eat it over brown rice with a little Greek yogurt and salsa for a quick lunch. 1 serving contains 20g of protein. I increase the serving size to 1.33 to yield 30g protein," she says.

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is another protein-packed snack. "I toss a 1/2 serving into egg scrambles for an additional 7g protein, add it to pasta sauce for a creamier sauce, or enjoy it as a snack with blueberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon. 1 full serving pack in 14g of protein!" she says.

Lentils

Want a high-fiber food? Lentils, "tiny legumes are packed with 8g protein and 5g fiber per cooked cup," she says. "They're incredibly filling and a great plant-based protein option. Add them to soups or salads."

Oats

Oats are "packed with 5g of fiber, and they keep me FULL," she says. "Especially when paired with berries and chicken sausages. This is one of the best carbs to lean into for weight loss!"

Shrimp

Another protein she recommends is shrimp. "Enjoy a massive serving of this delicious seafood with just 6 ounces, providing an impressive 44g of protein, and it's incredibly easy to prepare. Season them up, spray with a little avocado oil, and air-fryer at 400F for 5-6 minutes," she says.
