Food For Thought
4 FOODS THAT WILL HELP ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY
- Beans-from black beans to kidney beans, they are full of protein and are filling so you are less likely to snack later.
- Avocados-filled with great healthy fats, fiber and protein. Avocados are great to add to a sandwich or salad.
- Blueberries-high in anti-oxidants, low in calories and high in fiber. Add them to your smoothies, yogurt or just pop a fistful in your mouth and enjoy their many benefits.
- Nuts- particularly raw tree nuts, such as almonds, cashews and walnuts have been linked to lower cholesterol, better heart health, weight control, and even a lower cancer risk. A small handful can pack your diet with filling protein, fiber, unsaturated fats, and important vitamins and minerals.
