Contrary to popular opinion, food is not the enemy when it comes to shedding pounds.
Experts say that instead of cutting down on what you eat, you should load up on fresh fruit and vegetables, and nuts and seeds which have fat-burning properties.
Eating these these nutrient-rich foods when trying to shed the pounds will eliminate hunger and speed your body's fat-burning power.
Fiona Kirk, nutritionist and author of Diet Secrets Uncovered told FEMAIL: 'The more nutrient rich foods you eat, the slimmer you'll get. You won't feel hungry all the time either.'
'If you want to lose weight you need to cut down on foods which have little nutritional value and consume more nutrient rich foods.'
Frida Harju, in-house nutritionist at the health app Lifesum told FEMAIL: ‘Foods that are rich in fibre and proteins can speed up your metabolism naturally, whilst avoiding carbohydrates and eating foods rich in fat, can put your body ‘in a fat burning state’.
