Great Superfoods for Weight Loss!!
You must have heard of those so-called "superfoods" for weight loss by now. Nutritionally-packed ingredients (normally fresh fruit and vegetables) that can boost the nutrient intake for your body, and bring with them a whole host of health benefits, one of which just so happens to be weight loss.
Are you intrigued? We bet you are! Take a look at some of this information that we have unearthed...
1 - Black Beans
These understated beans contain an astonishing amount of protein; almost as much as 15 grams per cup. There's no bad stuff either - no saturated fat for example, making it a perfect substitute for meat in foods like chilli con carne, and other mince-meat based dishes. Plus, that one cup only contains about 200 calories - less than what the same amount of meat would probably have.
Just adding beans to your diet won't help you to lose weight. The trick is to substitute one of the "bad" foods for the black beans in a bid to help you ingest fewer calories as well as increasing the amount of iron and antioxidants which means not only will these beans help you to lose weight, but you'll also be fighting back against the risks of certain conditions like heart disease and certain type of cancer.
2 - Oats
Another of the great superfood for weight loss, oats are perfect for someone who is feeling a little sluggish and this could be because they are holding onto too much waste product in their bowels. Did you know that you could be carrying upwards of ten pounds worth of actual junk in your body, and by eating more fibre, you are giving your digestive system a little helping hand, giving you more opportunity to lose weight than just exercise and changes to your diet alone. What's the point in making all those change if you aren't going to get rid of the excess waste first? You don't need to resort to drastic measures like colonic irrigation; there are foods (especially those high in fibre) that will help things along quite nicely.
Oats are the perfect way to start your day because not only will they help your digestive system, they contain a healthy starch called Resistant Starch which helps to burn off the fat content but speeding up the metabolism. There's a reason people have been eating oats for years!
3 - Avocados
A lot of people shy away from things like avocado because of the high fat content but the thing you need to know about this humble superfood is that it contains lots of HEALTHY fats; not the unhealthy stuff. Monounsaturated fats, for example, have been shown in studies to actually suppress hunger pangs, and there's lots of protein and fibre in there too so you're killing a whole bunch of birds with just one stone.
Plus it's super easy to whack a bit of avocado in a smoothie and even if you're not that keen on the taste, you won't know it's there.
4 - Salmon
Aside from being completely delicious, salmon is one of the greatest superfoods for weight loss that you can get your hands on. The lean source of protein that salmon offers you is the kinda that makes you full after you eat it, and keep you feeling that full feeling for longer. This means that you are less likely to snack throughout the day because you're not experiencing those hunger pangs, plus a recent study showed that dieters that ate more salmon had faster and bigger weight loss.
There are quite a few superfoods for weight loss; more so than many people initially think. Blueberries are great for their anti-aging properties as well as being very low in calories, and broccoli (both cooked and raw) is perfect for the cancer-busting qualities plus being low in calories and high in fibre. There's also brown rice, pears and even wine... in moderation, of course!
Is it about time that you re-evaluated your diet? Think about it - all the exercise in the world won't make that much of a difference if you're still ingesting more calories than you burn off!

The Top 7 Healthy Foods You Need To Eat!
When it comes to
healthy foods that boost your metabolism, help you lose weight, make you look,
feel and perform better, there are none better than the 7 foods I've outlined
for you below.
So here we go...
Top Healthy Food
#1: Nut Butters
Unless you have a nut
allergy, you should eat nut butters several times per week. Nut butters are a
good source of healthy fats, fiber, iron and magnesium.
Some of the best nut
butters include Almond butter, Macadamia Nut Butter and Dry Roasted, Organic Peanut
Butter. Unfortunately, nut butters are high in calories and it's very easy to
overeat them as they are so damn tasty, so you have to limit your consumption
to 2 to 3 tablespoons per day or else you will start gaining weight.
Top Healthy Food
#2: Sweet Potatoes
Ounce for ounce, sweet
potatoes will provide you with more nutrients and energy to help you power
through your workouts than any other carbohydrate food found in the grocery
store.
If you haven't tried
Japanese Sweet potatoes yet, you're in for a treat. They are my favorite sweet
potato and they are very nutritious and very filling.
Sweet potatoes are
high in fiber, Vitamin A, and many other important vitamins and minerals.

#3: Greens (Spinach, Kale, Broccoli)
Greens are very alkalizing
(energizing to your blood cells) and also help to detoxify your body. If you
can't stand eating cups of greens every day, get a juicer and drink your
greens.
After just a few days of eating several cups of
greens (or juicing them), you will feel more energized, lighter, and your skin
will look better and younger.
Greens contain a
potent source of plant nutrients called phytophenols, which protect and boost
your immune system and fight the development of cancer cells.
Though not officially
considered greens, Kiwifruit and green, granny smith apples also contain high
amounts phytophenols, so be sure to include them into your diet as well.
Top Health Food #4:
Berries
Strawberries,
blueberries, raspberries and blackberries contain the lowest amount of calories
per serving and more nutrients per ounce than most other fruits combined.
Berries are low in
natural sugars and high in dietary fiber. I eat one to two cups of berries 3 to
4 times a week and I have never looked and felt better and healthier in my entire
life.
If you could only eat
one type of fruit, definitely choose berries every time.
Bonus tip: Choose
organic berries over conventional whenever possible.
Berries absorb the
most amount of pesticides and insecticides than any other fruit, which means
you'll be eating a bunch of potentially harmful toxins along with your berries
unless you choose organic.

#5: Wild Caught Salmon
If you've read my
previous articles, you know that wild caught salmon is one of the best sources
of the omega-3 essential fat.
Wild caught salmon is packed with Omega 3 fatty
acids which have been proven to increase your HDL good cholesterol and decrease
your LDL bad cholesterol. Wild caught salmon is also very high in protein,
which you'll need plenty of if you're breaking down your muscles on a regular
basis during intense workouts.
Top Healthy Food
#6: Unrefined & Virgin Coconut Oil
Unrefined Coconut oil
is high in a fat called MCT (medium chain triglycerides) which your body uses
up as energy and does not store as body fat (unless you eat far too much
coconut oil than your body has a need for at one time)
Coconut oil is also
antimicrobial, meaning that it cleans your stomach of bad bacteria.
This can cause
bloating and gas in some individuals, but should go away after a few days of
eating coconut oil. Use coconut oil when you cook, spread it with nut butters
(my favorite way to eat coconut oil) or eat it straight out of the jar if you
really enjoy its' taste.
My favorite healthy
energizing snack food is a brown rice cake topped with 1 teaspoon of coconut
oil, 1-2 tablespoons of almond butter, 10-12 raspberries and sprinkled with
cinnamon - absolutely delicious!
Top Healthy Food
#7: Himalayan Sea Salt
Unlike regular table
salt, Himalayan sea salt is very high in essential minerals that your body
needs for proper muscle contractions and to maintain a healthy electrolyte
balance. (an electrolyte imbalance can trigger muscle cramps and irregular
heart rhythms, which can be a serious health threat.)
Himalayan sea salt has
a unique, distinct taste that goes well with meats and fish.
If attaining a healthy
weight and optimal health and energy are your goals, you'd be foolish to not
include at least 4 of the above top 7 healthy foods into your diet on a daily
basis, they really are THAT good for you.
