If you haven’t read the Potent Foods You Need to Know Part I, for you own health ben­e­fits, I highly rec­om­mend you to check it out now, today I am going to con­tinue the part 2.

Figs

Fiber-rich figs are low in calo­ries at 37 per medium (2.25” diam­e­ter) raw fig and 48 per dried fig. A recent study by the USDA demon­strated that they con­tribute to a feel­ing of full­ness and pre­vent overeat­ing. Sub­jects actu­ally com­plained of being asked to eat too much food when fed a diet con­tain­ing more figs than a sim­i­lar diet with an iden­ti­cal num­ber of calo­ries. [Read more…]

It would be unre­al­is­tic to think you could suc­cess­fully lose weight and enjoy what you’re eat­ing with a mere hand­ful of foods, no mat­ter how deli­cious, nutri­tious and sat­is­fy­ing they may be. So I’m going to add an extra ros­ter of fat-fighting foods you can eat along with the great foods men­tioned in my pre­view post Fat Burn­ing Food 1 and Fat Burn­ing Food 2.

Those potent foods will lend dif­fer­ent tastes and tex­tures to every meal and pro­vide a wide range of vit­a­mins, min­er­als, pro­teins and other vital nutri­ents. Nat­u­rally, each one is high in fiber, low in fat and safe when it comes to sodium con­tent, too. [Read more…]

Can Our Cave­man Ances­tors Teach Us the Best Mod­ern Diet?
