Oranges are high in a flavonoid called narirutin — an anti-inflammatory agent, antioxidant and a metabolite. Oranges are rich in vitamin C and fibre, making them a great choice for weight loss. They provide fewer calories compared to their volume. Cranberries are high in antioxidants and fibre that can aid digestion and weight loss. They are also rich in polyphenols that can support weight loss by increasing metabolism. Flaxseed is high in fibre, low in carbs, and contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help you drop pounds.
