I know at least half of you have “eat more healthy” or “lose weight” as part of your new year’s resolutions….which hopefully you are still trying to do! It’s only been a few weeks since January 1st :P Here are some foods that promote weight loss:

1. grapefruit – they aren’t sure why but several studies have shown this fruit to help people lose weight…which is the reason the grapefruit diet was developed. it also helps fight cancer and has a low calorie count.

2. sardines – loaded with protein, helps you feel full, and stimulates metabolism. they are also supposed to boost your mood and you know how some people eat more when they are depressed! they are also free of contaminants since they are so low on the food chain.

3. pumpkin – loaded with fiber and low calorie count. fiber is known to help with weight management.

4. grass fed beef – high protein which stimulates metabolism, helps you feel full longer, decreases the desire to overeat. avoid normal beef since it has all of the contaminants and hormones injected into it.

5. green tea – rich in antioxidants, promotes heart health, aids digestion, and regulates blood sugar. also raises metabolic rate and speeds up fat oxidation!

other foods: broccoli, blueberries, watermelon, beans, etc.
