Super Weight Loss Foods And Nutrition

 There are certain foods that, if eaten on a regular basis, not only help reduce weight but also do wonders to your health. Do you know what these super weight loss foods are?

If you are reading this, then you already realized how important good nutrition is. I'm a big advocate of "you are what you eat." Meaning, what you put in your body greatly determines what you look like on the outside.

If you make serious effort to improve your eating habits, you will notice a positive change in how you feel and look. It's not about perfection though. Be determined to make small changes to your diet over time and you will eventually be amazed at the will power you develop.

Let's look at 12 super weight loss foods 

There are super foods that you should be eating on a regular basis. All have their own unique health benefits and if you mold your diet around the majority of these foods, you'll notice an improvement in your health.

The list is as follows:

1. Low-fat dairy - a great source of protein and calcium.

2. Salmon - Salmon is high in protein, low in saturated fat and high in omega-3 fats (the essential fatty acids that are also found in walnuts). Salmon is a heart-healthy food and is recommended to eat at least twice a week.

When choosing salmon, it's best to stay away from farm raised type and select wild instead. Research shows that farmed salmon may cause cancer because it may carry high levels of carcinogenic chemicals known as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

3. Almonds and other nuts - a great source of good fat.

4. Spinach and other green vegetables - a great source of phytonutrients and antioxidants.

5. Natural peanut butter - yes, this can be included under #3, but natural peanut butter makes eating nuts easier because you can spread it on bananas, wheat bread, celery, etc.

6. Black Beans and Lentils - Both black beans and lentils are good sources of fiber that can lower cholesterol. The high fiber content in both black beans and lentils helps to maintain blood sugar levels. Also a fat-free, high quality protein with additional minerals and B-vitamins, black beans and lentils fill you up and do not expand your waistline.

7. Oatmeal - a great source of fiber and protein.

8. Eggs - a great source of vitamin E and protein.

9. Blueberries - These mildly sweet (and sometimes tangy) berries offer a high capacity to destroy free radicals that can cause cancer. They are low in calories, they offer antioxidant phytonutrients called anthocyanidins, which enhance the effects of vitamin C. These antioxidants may help prevent cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, heart disease and cancer.

10. Extra protein - a great source of protein!

11. Whole-grain breads and cereals - a great source of fiber.

12. Olive oil - a great source of good fat.

 All 12 super weight loss foods above have a high nutritional value and should be incorporated into your daily meals and snacks.

You should tell everyone you know about these foods and enjoy them at your next meal.
