Dairy-Free Blueberry Muesli
Blueberries are one of the greatest health foods of all time, and they're a boon to anyone determined to lose weight. Blueberries contain pectin, a type of dietary fiber that limits the cells' capacity to absorb fat. Pectin is also known to make you feel fuller and for a longer time, so you will eat less during the day.

Oat and Buckwheat Muesli with Pears and Grapes
Eating a bowl of this super-nutritious muesli for breakfast is a superb way to start a day off right. The oats it contains provide plenty of fiber and protein, while the pears deliver iodine. Iodine is necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland which controls the basal metabolic rate, that is, the rate at which the body consumes energy at rest. Iodine deficiency can result in sluggish thyroid activity which in turn can lead to weight gain or hinder your efforts to slim down. See the RecipeOat and Wheat Germ Muesli with Apples
Both oats and wheat germ are supercharged with B complex vitamins which help your body convert fatty acids, amino acids (protein), and carbohydrates into energy. Several of the B vitamins also offer additional benefits to overweight and obese people who are looking to get rid of excess body fat. For example, vitamin B3 may help those whose expanding waistline is linked to insulin resistance, a condition in which the body does not respond properly to insulin produced by the pancreas. What's more, the zinc contained in oats and wheat germ may increase the levels of circulating leptin, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating appetite as well as the body's energy expenditure and fat storage.

Muesli was developed as a health food by the Swiss Physician Maximilian Bircher-Brenner towards the end of the 19th century. This is the original muesli recipe Mr Bircher-Benner recommended to his patients. See the RecipeSpicy Shrimp Omelet
Egg whites and shrimp are among the best sources of high quality protein which is crucial for weight management. But the protein in this omelet is hardly its only weight loss promoting component: chili garlic sauce is packed with capsaicin, a natural compound that is famous for its ability to increase the body's heat production (thermogenesis), thereby increasing the rate at which the body burns carbohydrates and fats.
