Eat to Lose

These foods can help you lose, so stock your panty, then watch the pounds melt away.


APPLES. Toss your peeler - the pectin in apple skin makes you feel full longer.
GREEN TEA. Tea drinkers are 20 percent trimmer, according to a 2003 study in the journal Obesity Research (now called Obesity). Black tea is OKAY too, but a compound called EGCG in green tea gives you the best fat-burning results.
CURRY. Tamarind, a spice often used in Indian cuisine, contains a chemical called hydroxycitric acid that slows down fat production. So cook with curry, but pass on the fat-laden treats like samosas at Indian restaurant.
CINNAMON. The spice mimics your body's insulin, which stimulates fat cells and allows excess sugar to move out of the blood. Try to get a teaspoon a day - sprinkle over oatmeal or applesauce.
WHITE KIDNEY BEANS. Add them to your diet to boost your fiber intake and fill you up.
