Avocados

 

This food is incredibly nutritious, and don’t think that the high calorie content will hurt you.  They are loaded with vitamins A, B, C, and E.  They have fiber, potassium, magnesium and folate.

 

The fat in it is 80% mono-unsaturated fats, which are the good ones that help you lose weight.  The omega-9 fatty acids help you prevent hunger cravings, and speed up the basal metabolic rate.

 

This was all proven in a study that found women who ate avocado daily lost 10 pounds in 2 months without counting calories.

 

Studies have also shown that those who have a diet of 35% calories from fats are able to lose weight and keep it off.  This is because your body uses that fat for good, but the bad body fat comes from eating refined carbs and sugar, which is in almost every manufactured food you can buy.

 

Flax Seeds

 

These little seed can do many things.  They lower cholesterol, reduce inflammations, and even can alleviate constipation and hemorrhoids.

 

But what about weight loss?

 

These contain something called lignans that help your liver metabolize toxins.  The liver plays a key role in burning your calories.  If it’s working right, it will burn body fat and get rid of it through the bile.  If your liver is loaded with toxins the weight loss is difficult.

 

Also, flaxseeds are rich in vitamins, fiber and omega 3’s that all help blood sugar and insulin levels.

 

Flaxseeds control hunger, and so when you take them a half hour before meals they expand in your stomach and reduce your appetite.
