5 Super Foods For Weight Loss

By Ralph Johnson


The choice of food that you eat is important if you are on a weight loss regime. In this article, you will discover 5 fantastic diet foods that you can consider to add colour to your diet.

Arugula: Consuming a cup of this dark green vegetable will give you a calorie intake of only 68 kJ. Therefore, it is perfectly fine to eat this vegetable in large amounts. It is not only rich in antioxidants; it is loaded with other minerals like fibre, calcium, zinc and copper. Arugula provides many health benefits like improved bowel movements, better fat digestion and protect your body against diseases.

Banana: If you are an avid gym goer, you should know the importance of consuming bananas after your gym workouts. This fruit provides a lot of energy (about 379kJ) and potassium to reduce cramps. However, due to its high energy content, it is not advisable for those who are trying to slim down to take too many of it. On the flipside, it provides a good afternoon snack for those who want to avoid eating junk food before dinner.

Kangaroo: Skippy from Australia? For those of you who have not tried Kangaroo meat before, you will glad to know that it is one of the leanest meats you can find on the face of this earth due to its bouncing and high activity level. Roo meat provides a good source of fat-free protein, iron and zinc. It is great for those who want to cut down their calorie and fat intake from meat sources.

Lemon: This small yellow fruit which is commonly found in the kitchen has anti-bacterial properties which help to promote a healthy digestive system. It also energizes the liver, which helps with fat digestion. Want to activate your digestive system in the morning? Squeeze a little lemon into water and drink it after you wake up. Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after drinking it because it may erode the protective coating you have on your teeth due to its high acid content.

Onion: This vegetable can be a great companion for those with sweet tooth. By cooking it under low heat with a small amount of olive oil, it can become a sweet tasty seasoning to be added to any dishes. It has low calories and provides many health benefits like balancing blood sugar level, improving your heart health and many others.
