All of these 10 foods help to keep your blood sugar more stable and this is very important for your weight loss program.

1- Sweet Potatoes
One of the best vegetables you can eat. They’re loaded with carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.

2 –  Grape Tomatoes
They’re sweeter and firmer than other tomatoes, and their bite-size shape makes them perfect for snacking, dipping, or salads. They’re packed with vitamin C and vitamin A, and you also get some fiber, some phytochemicals, and great flavor.

3- Broccoli
It has lots of vitamin C, carotenoids, and folic acid. Steam it briefly and add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and a sprinkle of lemon. I love broccoli.

4- Wild Salmon

The omega-3 fats in fatty fish like salmon can help reduce the risk of heart attacks. And wild-caught salmon has less PCB contaminants than farmed salmon.   5 – Crispbreads Whole-grain rye crackers, like Wasa, Ry Krisp, and Ryvita — usually called crispbreads — are loaded with fiber and often fat-free.

5. Berries
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cranberries. These Colorful berries are packed with antioxidants. Add some berries in your smoothies.

6- Brown Rice
Brown rice is easy to prepare and more nutritious than enriched white rice. When the grain is refined, you lose the fiber, magnesium, vitamins E and B-6, copper, zinc, and phytochemicals that are in the whole grain.

7- Spinach and Kale

These standout leafy greens are jam-packed with vitamins A, C, and K, folate, potassium, magnesium, iron, lutein, and phytochemi.

8- Oatmeal
Oats are a good source of complex carbs and fiber. Great for breakfast. I also like to add some oats in my protein shake. It slows the absorption of the protein powder.  Oats help reduce cholesterol. Research shows that one bowl of oatmeal per day can reduce cholesterol by up to 23%.

9- Citrus Fruit

Great taste and rich in vitamin C, folic acid, and fiber. Perfect for a snack or dessert. Try different varieties: juicy Minneola oranges, snacksize Clementines, or tart pink grapefruit.

10- Beans

More than just a meat substitute, beans are so nutritious that the latest dietary guidelines recommend we triple our current intake from 1 to 3 cups per week. Beans are high in fiber and antioxidants. beans aren’t just good for the waistline, they may aid in disease prevention, too
