I'm sure you've heard people say, "everything I eat goes straight to my waist", or hips or butt, right?

Well, the good news is that there are foods, super-foods, that help streamline your waistline, but unfortunately, donuts aren't one of them.

Now in a new study, patients eat half a grapefruit before each meal.

Heidi Silver, Ph.D., a Nutritionist from Vanderbilt University's Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, is one of the researchers on the study.

She says they're seeing results, "We're seeing about a 15 to 20 pound weight loss in 14 weeks, which is very significant."

Kelly Willenberg is trying the grapefruit diet.

She has lost 16 pounds.

Willenberg says, "People are starting to notice it.

I've actually had somebody say that to me every day this week.

You know, "How much weight have you lost?"

Patients in the grapefruit diet study were also part of a broader weight loss program.

***NOTE*** Grapefruit juice can also interact with certain medications, so check with your doctor first.

Other high-volume, low-cal foods are fruits, vegetables, water-based soups and whole grains.

Along the same line are high-fiber foods like nuts, beans and brown rice.

Megan McCrory, Ph.D., a nutrition researcher at Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA, told us, "Fiber doesn't contain any calories, yet it contains bulk, so when people consume fiber, they consume few calories."

In one study, those on a high-fiber diet were half as likely to become obese.

Next on the super-foods list is almonds.

Gary Foster, Ph.D., an obesity researcher at the Temple University, Health Sciences Center in Philadelphia, explains the benefits, "When you increase the consumption of nuts, surprisingly the BMI is lower."



Black soya beans are another high-scorer.

After gorging on a high-fat diet, rats that got 10 percent of their energy from black soya gained half as much weight as other rats.

Lastly, four to six cups of green tea can also boost fat burning, not quite a food, but you know it's high on our super-foods list.
