Superfoods and Weight Loss - An Introduction

By Chung Asnicar


Superfoods. You've likely heard this word mentioned in health and diet circles lately. If you think this concept is new, you're wrong. Superfoods have been written about and discussed in underground nutrition publications for nearly 30 years.

If you want to shed unwanted pounds and be healthy from the inside out, it's important that you incorporate these plant foods in your diet.

If you like eating yogurt, then you're in great luck because this superfood is great for losing weight.

In one study, a control group was given non-fat yogurt. Compared to the other group, the non-fat yogurt group lost nearly 25% more weight. What's great is that after three months of consuming non-fat yogurt, the yogurt eaters lost about 60% more fat while still retaining muscle mass. This, according to researchers, is due to the high bio-assimilable calcium levels found in yogurt. You can try buying probiotic yogurts as well. This means probiotic bacteria, the good guys, have been added to the yogurt.

Fat burning foods help you burn more fat than the foods give you in terms of fat. There is a whole class of fat burning foods, and you may want to look into that with more research. You'll also find at least a dozen kinds of vitamins in eggs. Eggs also provide you with minerals and certain amino acids beneficial for brain health.

A nutritious superfood that is great for encouraging weight loss is the sweet potato. Between regular potatoes and sweet potatoes, the latter are better to eat. When you bake regular potatoes, they usually don't have any taste.

This is why people love to put butter and salt on their baked potatoes. With sweet potatoes, well... they are not called sweet for no reason. Don't put anything on baked sweet potatoes and you'll see that they already taste better as they are. In addition, you'll find sweet potatoes to be high in vitamin A. Sweet potatoes also have high amounts of potassium. Basically, sweet potatoes help promote a healthy heart and overall cardio system.

The Paleo diet is one diet that you can follow because it will let you eat various superfoods to lose weight. There are others but this one is significant due to the premise on which it is based. Early humans consumed natural foods, most of them plants. You can adapt this to your own diet today by consuming plant superfoods in order to shed unwanted pounds.
