The Top Ten Weight Loss Foods


Quick Rapid Weight Loss

1. Blueberries (A recent animal study showed that ½ cup a day improves memory)

2. Broccoli (An amazing source of phytochemicals including the cancer-fighting indole-3-carbinole. The calcium in broccoli is better absorbed by the body than the calcium from milk)

3. Kale (The superstar of vegetables with the highest known antioxidant capacity)

4. Tomatoes (High in vitamins and lycopene, which may have a protective effect against prostate cancer)

5. Oatmeal (A wonderful source of fiber, as well as one of the only food sources of GLA, an important fatty acid. Go for the slow cooking kind, not the instant)

6. Eggs (One of nature's most complete foods and a highly bio-available source of protein. Get the free-range kind which have omega-3 fats, and don't be afraid of the yolk! A close runner-up in the perfect protein sweepstakes is whey protein powder)

7. Salmon and sardines (Two of the best sources of omega-3 fats. Sardines are a health food store in a can)

8. Cantaloupe (A great source of beta-carotene and a high-volume low-calorie filler-upper that also happens to be delicious)

9. Garlic and onions (Both members of the allium family of vegetables they are loaded with phytochemicals that confer numerous health benefits. They also make food taste good!)

10. Water nourishes, replenishes, and is needed for every cellular process in the body.
