6 Fab Foods You SHould Eat Everday!
Living in a culture full of dietary restrictions, I am here to tell you that you can actually eat more and lose weight, fight cravings, and most importantly, boost your gut health big time!
Try including these 6 foods in your diet everyday for 6 weeks and see if you ever want to go back!
Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, kale, cabbage, and brussels. Packed with fiber and nutrients, these plants are a great bang for your buck and you won’t leave without finishing, completely satisfied, I promise. Guess what? Arugula is included too!
Protein. More specifically, Amino Acids which are the building blocks of protein and our bodies need them to perform multiple important jobs from proper digestion to helping the body burn fat by building muscle! Think beef (well sourced only), fish, organic poultry, eggs, quinoa, and buckwheat.
Dope foods like nuts and seeds (and well sourced meats, etc.). I say DOPE because they are Dopamine supporting foods. But not like the false, short dopamine high you get from eating processed foods. When you eat dope foods you feel pretty dang dope. My two faves are chia and hemp seeds.
Berries. If I had to choose one food that brings me joy and the most nutrition bite for bite, I would go blueberries. But what you are really looking for is foods that contain polyphenols which include berries, spices, nuts, and seeds.
Omega 3s baby!! These fatty acids are part of every cell of your body, so why wouldn’t you want more of them?! Think wild-caught salmon, mackerel, sardines, eggs, flaxseed, and walnuts.
Fiber. You know all that talk about probiotics? Well, sure those are the good germs living in your gut. And just like all living things, they need food. Fiber, in it’s prebiotic form, is their favorite meal, so get after it ASAP. Try high fiber foods like garlic, onions, leeks, cocoa!, and flaxseed. There are so many more, but I’m just giving you the tip today.
