Total fat Greek Yogurt

This Greek yogurt is strained, which means it contains twice as much protein as ordinary low-fat yogurt (10g vs 4g per 100g). Protein promotes satiety, helping ward off hunger pangs. Delicious with walnuts, fruit and honey for breakfast, or use as an alternative to cream. £2.39 for 500g, from Tesco and Ocado.

Almond Butter

Food, Ingredient, Finger food, Baked goods, Tableware, Bread, Cuisine, Kitchen utensil, Gluten, Snack,

Made from just almonds (no butter!), this spread may help weight loss. Studies show that people who consumed 43g almonds daily for four weeks reported feeling less hungry and ate fewer calories at other meals to make up for the calories from the almonds. Use instead of butter on toast or spread on apple or banana slices. We like Meridian Foods Almond Butter, £2.99 for 170g, from Holland & Barrett and Ocado.

We love this low-fat dairy drink (made from whey protein and fruit juice) – it tastes divine and its high protein content can promote satiety and help prevent muscle loss when you’re dieting. £1.75 for 250ml, from Tesco, Waitrose, Ocado and Holland & Barrett.

Rapeseed Oil

Yellow, Liquid, Amber, Ingredient, Razor, Oil, Brush, Condiment, Medical equipment, Lighter,

It’s rich in heart-healthy monounsaturates but best of all may help trim tummy flab. According to one study, people who consumed rapeseed oil lost more abdominal fat than those who had safflower, corn or flaxseed oil. Great for stir-frying, on salads or as an alternative to butter in baking. We like Waitrose Cooks & Co Pure Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil, £3.65 for 500ml.
