<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a>You\u2019ve probably never\nheard of cholecystokinin, but it\u2019s one of your best weight-loss pals. This\ndigestive hormone is a natural appetite suppressant. So how do you get more\ncholecystokinin? One way, report researchers at the University of California at\nDavis, is by eating beans: A study of eight men found that their levels of the hormone\n(which may work by keeping food in your stomach longer) were twice as high\nafter a meal containing beans than after a low-fiber meal containing rice and\ndry milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.<\/strong> Salad.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a>Do you tend to stuff\nyourself at meals? Control that calorie intake by starting with a large salad\n(but hold the creamy dressing.) A study published in the Journal of the\nAmerican Dietetic Association found that people who ate one salad a day with\ndressing had higher levels of vitamins C and E, folic acid, lycopene, and\ncarotenoids-all disease fighters-than those who didn\u2019t add salad to their daily\nmenu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.<\/strong> Green tea<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a>The slimming\ningredient isn\u2019t caffeine. Antioxidants called catechins are what help speed\nmetabolism and fat burning. In a recent Japanese study, 35 men who drank a\nbottle of oolong tea mixed with green tea catechins lost weight, boosted their\nmetabolism, and had a significant drop in their body mass index. Health bonus:\nThe participants also lowered their (bad) LDL cholesterol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.<\/strong> Olive oil.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/stnicholashospitallagos.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/08\/baked-beans.jpg\")

A \u00a02006 study of 91 obese people conducted at the Nutrition and Metabolic Research Center at Scripps Clinic found that eating half a grapefruit before each meal or drinking a serving of the juice three times a day helped people drop more than three pounds over 12 weeks.
