12 Wholesome Foods to Help You Slim Down Fast

Cucumber

Cucumbers are one of the all-time best foods for fighting uncomfortable bloat because they’re loaded with water and naturally low in sodium (taking in extra water while halting salt reduces water retention). Plus, they’re a terrific calorie bargain; you can gobble up an entire cuke for just 45 calories. When you get the urge to munch between meals, slice one up into “chips” to squelch your appetite in a hurry. They’re one of the star ingredients in my Cucumber-Yogurt Dip.
