Amber, a weight loss coach who successfully shed 160 pounds through diet and exercise, recently shared her favorite Aldi picks for anyone looking to stay on track with their weight loss goals. These budget-friendly foods are perfect for maintaining a healthy diet without breaking the bank. Here’s a closer look at the 8 essentials she swears by:
Thin Wheat Crackers
Amber loves these reduced-fat crackers as a snack, especially when paired with cheese and fruit. A serving of 16 crackers contains just 120 calories, making them a light and satisfying choice without any artificial flavors or colors.
L’Oven Fresh Keto-Friendly Multiseed Wraps
For wraps and tacos, Amber recommends these high-fiber, low-fat wraps. Each serving contains only 4.5 grams of total fat, and they are a healthier alternative to regular refined wraps.
L’Oven Deli Rolls
These 180-calorie rolls are perfect for hot dogs or sandwiches. They contain 0g of trans fat and are free from artificial colors, flavors, and high fructose corn syrup, unlike many popular deli roll options.
Bananas
Bananas are a key part of Amber’s diet. Packed with soluble fiber, they help slow digestion, keeping you fuller for longer while reducing overall calorie intake. They’re naturally sweet and a great alternative to processed sweets.
Strawberries
Strawberries are a low-calorie, antioxidant-rich fruit with only about 50 calories per cup. Their high water content aids in hydration and helps with fullness, making them a perfect weight-loss snack.
Cucumbers
With just 15 calories per cup, cucumbers are an ideal low-calorie snack or meal addition. Their high water content (about 95%) helps with hydration and promotes fullness without contributing significant calories.
Cottage Cheese
Amber uses cottage cheese in her smoothies for extra creaminess and a protein boost. It’s packed with casein protein, which digests slowly, keeping you full longer and helping with muscle maintenance, metabolism, and fat loss.
Chef’s Cupboard Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
For busy days, Amber relies on these easy-to-make mashed potatoes. Ready in minutes with just the addition of water, they’re a convenient and macro-friendly side dish for dinner.
These Aldi foods are not only affordable but also packed with nutrients that support weight loss while keeping you full and satisfied. Amber’s picks make it easier to stay on track without compromising on flavor or convenience.
