Foods that are good and foods to stay away from.

Good Foods

  • Nuts - Healthy fats, small handfuls of nuts (almonds are good) help you from over indulging on unhealthy fats. Peanut butter is good, too. Portion-control.
  • Cheese - Not too much! Contains calcium, but high in fat and salt.
  • Eggs - In the morning, keep you fuller longer.
  • Any vegetables - Green beans, string beans, cucumbers, chickpeas.
  • Pomegranates - Low in calories, good for sweet tooth.
  • Apples - Decrease appetite.
  • Water - No fruit juices or soda, just water.
  • Lentils - Stop insulin spikes that cause body to create extra fat.
  • Wild salmon - Omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Olive oil - Use as a replacement for butter.
  • Celery - Burns calories.

Bad Foods:

  • Honey - Minimal nutritional value, same calorie content as sugar.
  • Fruit Juice - Contains added sugar.
  • Sodas - My weakness. They are terrible for you.
  • Candy - Again, terrible for you. 
  • Canned fruits - Generally come soaked in syrup-y sugar-y liquids.
