For those trying to lose weight, the goal is harder to achieve during winter because, at this time of the year, one's activity levels drop. Of course, staying indoor is more comfortable than doing your morning jog and, worse, it is at this time when our body tends to crave hearty and filling foods.

Although losing weight in winter is challenging, it is still possible. Here are the best foods to consume in this season to aid you in your weight loss journey during the coldest season of the year, as per Better Nutrition.

1. Beans - These foods are loaded with protein that can boost weight loss. They are also rich in fiber, which increases satiety and makes you full longer. Reader's Digest reported that beans are also efficient in weight loss because it curb cravings for processed snacks, boosts calorie and fat burning, quadruple weight loss and attacks belly fat. Aside from shedding your extra pounds, beans also protect your heart.
2. Eggs - This food is the best choice for breakfast to lose weight. A recent study learned that people who ate two eggs for breakfast lost 65 percent more weight, despite eating the same number of calories for breakfast. Another study also revealed that children who consume eggs for breakfasts feel fuller longer and they ate lesser during lunch, Latinos Health reported.
3. Yogurt - This food is rich in calcium that enhances your body's fat-burning mechanisms. One study learned that people who ate three servings of fat-free yogurt lost 22 percent more weight and 61 percent more body fat than people who just cut their calories. Yogurt eaters also tend to lose more weight in the hard-to-slim abdominal area while maintaining their lean muscle.
4. Cayenne Pepper and Spicy Foods - Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, a compound that stimulates the body to generate heat to promote the burning of calories and excess body fat. Previous studies suggest that hot spices like black and white pepper, garlic, mustard and ginger increase body temperature that speeds up calorie burning even without exercise.
5. Artichokes - These foods contains a compound called cynarin, which is thought to improve liver function and enhance weight loss. Consuming artichokes makes one feel fuller longer. It is also low in calories and loaded with fiber. One artichoke contains 10 grams more than a third of the recommended daily amount.
