Hey! Super size that, will ya? Weight loss, yea right. It seems like a bigger and bigger percentage of Americans are overweight and very few seem to want to do anything about it. We read every day of the dangers of being overweight and what it does to our bodies. Still yet, people continue to gorge themselves on all kinds of unhealthy food. You go into a fast food joint and you see some fatty sitting there woof’n down a cheeseburger and fries (super sized of course), and you know what?… they’re probably drinking a diet soft drink. I’ve seen that actually happen. I guess they think they off-set each other.

Anyway there is a ton of programs out there claiming to be the best weight loss plan on the planet. The fact that your reading this article, I know you have probably tried a few of them already. I don’t need to name any of them but we know the low-cals, low carbs, low fats, and so on and so on. Your counting calories, measuring portions, weighing yourself every morning happy to see a measly pound of loss. Looking at yourself in the mirror to see if your losing that roll around your gut. You see some hunk with rippling muscles and six-pack abs or some hottie on the beach in a bikini with a tight butt and bulging boobs and think, “geez, I hate those people.” Depressing huh? Well let your heart not be troubled my friend.

It’s not your fault. You’ve been subconsciously duped into it. You see, you’ve probably got a friend or relative that’s a metabolism burning calorie burning fat blaster that can eat or drink anything they want. You hang out with them and you automatically end up munching on the same stuff and your body is not made up to handle it like theirs is. They order another pizza, some cheese nachos, a couple pitchers of beer and you can’t help but partake. It seems like a never ending spiral down into the depths of gaining weight and ugly fat. Well, here’s what you need to do. Besides needing a weight loss plan that’s doable there’s two things you need to do first.

The first thing you can start immediately is with mental affirmations. With the mental affirmations all you do is start telling yourself “I don’t need this extra piece of pizza” or that next handful of nachos or another glass of beer. Make mental notes of what’s healthy and what’s not. They say it takes about three weeks to reprogram, but before you know it you’ll just automatically reduce your intake and make healthier choices.

The second is a colon cleanse. It gets rid of parasites and tapeworms. These are ugly little critters living in your colon. They live off of their host with that host being you. They feed off of the nutrients that your body needs to operate at it’s optimum and burn the fat that we need to get rid of. They make your liver and colon toxic and inefficient. A good colon cleanse treatment is necessary to detoxify your body and make any weight loss plan effective.

Super foods are defined as healthy food with many benefits because of the high content of significant substances, such as vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers, phytonutrient, and anthocyanins. Eating super foods will not only make you slim, but also fit and healthy.

Super foods do not work like other slimming supplements. OK, they may be able to slim you as what you want, but they will make you suffer without you realize it. Some slimming supplements even cause you in health trouble, since they damage your organs.

You do not need specific foods to slim your body. A healthy diet can be a variety of super foods that will help you maintain weight. It can also fight diseases and make you live longer.

Enjoying super foods everyday is only a matter of food creation. We must be creative and open minded since you do not need to always follow the recipes. Make recipe experiments or watch cooking programs on TV to get food variation.

If you do not get the idea of super foods, I can give you an example. Blueberries are considered a kind of super foods because they contain high potassium and vitamin C. They can lower the risk of hear disease and cancer. That is why doctors and nutritionists put blueberries in the top list of suggested foods.

Here are some super foods which are helpful for your diet.

SPINACH – Spinach is good for diet because it contains low calories. You can take the benefits of 2.2 grams of dietary fiber from every 100 grams of raw spinach.

BROCCOLI – Broccoli is rich of vitamin A, C, and K. 100 grams of broccoli contain 2.6 gram dietary fiber. To get its maximum benefits, add raw broccoli to your salad and other dishes.

WALNUT – Actually, walnut has high calories, so you must modify your dish in order not to make the calories higher, such as do not add cheese or meat. Another solution is limiting your intake of walnuts. In general, walnuts contain high fat, but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat-the good ones. These fats can even lower the LDL cholesterol in your body.

POMEGRANATE – This fruit is a rising star. It contains polyphenols, tannins, and anthocyanins-all beneficial antioxidants. Make pomegranate juice and drink it everyday. Besides helping you lose your weight, it can also reduce blood pressure.

CABBAGE – Cabbage is one of the most common vegetable you store at fridge. It boosts the immune system and reduces cancer risk. Cabbage is also recommended as diet food. Mix the cabbage with vinegar, salt, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and pepper. This simple recipe will help your diet!

ALMOND – Almond contains high amount of fat, but the fat is monounsaturated, which reduces bad cholesterol. It will not make you fat! It even helps you lowering the risk of heart disease.

TURMERIC – Turmeric is actually a kind of spices. By adding turmeric to your dishes, you can prevent prostate cancer, childhood leukemia, breast cancer, and melanoma. It will really help you in maintaining weight. Turmeric will make your soups and stews healthy and delicious!

After knowing some information above, why don’t you go to supermarket to buy super foods and start a really healthy diet?
