As we all know, eating right for each given diet can be quite difficult, especially for those of us that are on a budget or don't have the time to be eating as often as recommended.
iVillage posted a list of the Top 5 Superfoods for Weight Loss that will assist in making dieting that much more successful.
1. Grapefruit. Research shows that eating 1/2 a grapefruit before a meal can help people drop weight. Additional research as to why grapefruits help burn fat was not noted on this site, but a plus to eating them is that their only 39 calories.
2. Sardines. Sounds yucky I know, but according to iVillage, sardines are packed with protein which helps stabilize blood sugar, helps stimulate metabolism and makes you feel full. They are also a great source of omega-3, which helps in boosting moods. Sardines are also cheap, easy to find and free of contaminants, which makes them that much healthier.
3. Pumpkin. Plain canned pumpkin is loaded with fiber and has only 40 calories. "Dozens of studies confirm that high fiber intake is associated with a host of health benefirts, including weight management."
4. Grass-Fed Beef. Great weight loss source, because it's loaded with protein, which stimulates our metabolisms. It is high in omega-3 content, thus providing multiple health benefits.
5. Green Tea. Rich in antioxidants, promotes heart health, aids in digestion and regulates blood sugar levels. Green tea increases the metabolic rate and boosts fat oxidation, thus promoting weight loss.
Give these foods a chance and let me know what your results tend to be.
