Power Foods

More good stuff that will satisfy your hunger and benefit your body. That’s right, these five foods that you may not be eating could make a difference and help you lose weight.

Firm Tofu
You can utilize tofu in a multitude of ways for your meals. Tofu is an excellent source of amino acids, iron, calcium, and other micro-nutrients. It is a good source of protein.

Natural Peanut Butter
Is all peanut butter alike? NO!

The major difference between the standard everyday jar and natural options is the number of ingredients. Natural peanut butter contains at least 90% peanuts with no artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives. Look for labels that list only dry roasted peanuts.

Pomegranate
A fantastic fruit packed with mystery and power. Pomegranate juice contains higher levels of antioxidants than most other fruit juices. The seeds have many antioxidants, which help protect the body against inflammation and free radical damage. The seeds help you feel fuller, which helps with weight loss, and they are very tasty.

Broccoli
Broccoli is a good source of vitamins C and K and is beneficial as a source of folate high in fiber. It belongs to the cruciferous family, which connects it to kale, brussels sprouts, bok choy, and cabbage. Eat this raw or cooked.

Hint: It makes for a great snack with hummus.

Fresh Ginger
Ginger can settle an upset stomach but also works with weight loss. It has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on the body. This is a very popular spice that is low in calories.
