Quinoa Salad
Quinoa is an earthy whole grain packed with protein and fibres to keep people energized and their metabolism healthy. The protein and fibre make you feel fuller; hence, less likely to indulge in impulsive eating or unhealthy foods. It is helpful, especially, for the vegetarians trying to shed weight, but have trouble finding foods that will fill them up. Dietary fibre binds to fat and cholesterol, causing less absorption of fat and cholesterol. It has low glycemic and calorie counts.

Honey Grapefruit with Banana Small Salad
Here comes a tangy tropical fruit salad, ideal for breakfast or as a side dish at the brunch. Grapefruit is one of the popular and best foods for weight loss, perhaps due to the effect it has on insulin, a fat-storage hormone.
It gives a filling experience. It has one of the highest water concentrations as compared with any other fruit. About 90% of its weight is water. All that juice fills you up fast and prevents overeating.
Ingredients
Preparation
Drain the grapefruit sections, reserving 1/4 cup juice. Combine grapefruit sections, juice, and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss gently to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and chill.
