Are you ready to discover the ultimate weight loss grocery list?

In this article, I am going to go over great low calorie, high volume (filling) foods for you.

Why is eating satiety rich foods so important? Because in order for you to lose weight, you have to cut calories and be in a calorie deficit. For this reason, eating foods that keep you full for long periods is absolutely vital.

These low-calorie foods are great options to choose from because some are high in fiber, some are high in protein and the majority of the foods mentioned are low in carbs and fat.

Most of the time when cutting calories, we have to cut carbs or fat because you want to keep protein constant.

The reason why we want to keep protein constant is that we don’t want to lose lean muscle mass when dropping body fat/weight. Furthermore, protein provides a high level of satiety making it optimal for you to consume when you lower your caloric intake!

Nonetheless, let’s get to the ultimate weight loss grocery list!
