Egg white, shrimp, low fat yoghurt, fish, shrimps, skimmed milk, and low fat cottage cheese etc. are good options of protein based foods. However, protein based foods also to be consumed in controlled quantity to prevent further weight gain in body.

Water is one of the major foods in food category which initiated natural weight loss in our body. Adequate and regular consumption of water keeps stomach full, control hunger pangs, and prevents dehydration in body.
