Superfoods And Weight Loss Part 3 - Berry Berry Good For Weight Loss

Fit and fabulous - that's the you you're longing to be, right? Well a key ingredient in the formula for success is a simple one: fiber. Why? Again, its simple: healthy soluble fiber displaces empty calories. Eating fiber-full foods produces a fiber-filled belly and that means you'll eat less and lose more weight. 

Another key to vibrant health and weight loss is antioxidants. These molecular marvels protect cells from damage that can cause premature aging and disease. Not only are they an intracellular bodyguard, they're also a kind of magic bullet if you want to lose weight. Researchers at the University of Florida determined that people who consume more antioxidant-rich foods weigh less even if they dont reduce their caloric intake.

And the best news of all is that among all the superfoods on the market today, berries rise above the fray as one of the richest sources of soluble fiber and antioxidants on the planet.

Goji Gratification

On your last trek up the Himalayas you might have noticed a small, bright red berry bush that all the Sherpas were raving about. Its called the goji berry and its popularity has raced down the Himalayan Mountains and is now touted around the world.

This raisin-esque berry is chock full of beta-carotene, iron, vitamins B1, B2, B6, and C, along with calcium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, copper, and chromium. Goji berries, which are also known as wolfberries, have a low glycemic index, so they satiate hunger quickly and quiet those raging food cravings.

Strawberry Satisfaction

Antioxidants in strawberries can help reduce the levels of insulin and blood sugar in your system. Too much blood sugar forces your system to over produce insulin which transports the excess sugar to your fat cells. When you reduce the blood sugar in your system, there's no excess sugar for the insulin to stash in your fat cells. You'll be sweet and svelte in no time!

Raspberry Relief

Although raspberries don't look anything like chili peppers, the ketones in raspberries function like the capsaicin in cayenne and can help burn off belly fat. The fat in our bellies is what puts us at greater risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other devastating diseases.

Blueberry Benefits

Even the innocuous looking little blueberry is a giant in the berry world when it comes to weight loss. An antioxidant in blueberries called catechin fires up the fat-burning genes in our abdominal fat cells. As an added bonus, blueberries also fight free radicals that accelerate aging, and they contain a phytonutrient that protects the brain from environmental toxins. So in one fell swoop, you can restore your figure, your youth, and your memory by adding this modest little berry to your diet.

Being berry wise is a great way to help achieve your weight loss goals.
