Foods That Increase Metabolism - Diet Foods Dieters Aren't Eating
Many diet foods are obvious. Lettuce, celery, and other low calorie green vegetables are a staple in most diets. Fish, chicken, and lean meats are another category often found in any dieter's handbook. But, if you truly want to use food to supercharge your body and keep it functioning at top quality while dieting, check out these ten foods that many people overlook.
Asparagus A low-carb, low-calorie food that adds a flair to meals. It is also high in vitamins, like folate and vitamin A. It is great as a side dish, mixed with a main dish, or as a low calorie snack. It has less than 4 calories per spear.
Goji Berries
These raisin-like berries have been used in Tibetan medicine for thousands of years. They have a sweet taste which helps cut the sweet tooth cravings. The sugars that make this berry sweet help reduce insulin resistance and may be beneficial to diabetics and pre-diabetics.
Purslane This can be a great substitute in your salads for lettuce, or an additional green. This herb has the highest level of omega-3 fatty acids of any plant. Studies have found that adequate amounts of essential fatty acids are vital to a good diet plan, to ensure healthy weight loss. It also supplies a good deal of the antioxidant, melatonin.
Cinnamon
This spice is a great choice when looking for a sweetener to replace sugar. Not only is it a treat but it can help lower blood sugar levels, as well. You get a double whammy with this one, a sweet treat and better blood sugar control.
Guava Everyone knows the importance of fiber in their diet. Guava is a sweet way to get it. This powerhouse packs 9 grams of fiber per cup. It is also a good source of lycopene, for fighting prostate cancer, and potassium, for electrolyte balancing.
Cabbage This is another great lettuce substitute. It has only 22 calories per cup. It is packed with lots of vitamins and minerals. It has strong antioxidant properties. Mixed in a slaw or cooked as a side this cruciferous vegetable can be a great addition to any diet.
Beets Beets, when cooked, look like candy but they can be a major boost to cardiovascular health. They supply folate and betaine, which lower homocysteine levels, decreasing heart disease risks. They have also been reported to reduce cancer risks, as well.
Zucchini This is a squash, but it does not have the usual carbohydrates and calories of other squash varieties. It adds variety, and fiber, to the diet plan.
Berries These are a great way to fight off sugar cravings. Throw a few berries in your yogurt, or on your cereal and you will be enjoying antioxidant protection and a sweet treat.
Olive Oil Yes, olive oil is an oil, and calorie dense, but it is a heart healthy choice. Its strong flavor makes it a good choice as well, because a little goes a long way. Use it, with a little vinegar or red wine, in place of creamier salad dressings.
Add some or all of these to your diet and you will not only find your weight loss improving, but your overall health will be better, as well.
