If you want to lose weight and do so without starvation or fads then go on a diet of super foods. Now the question arises, what are super foods? Super foods are basically some foods that have been identified by experts as having multiple benefits for the body and are not harmful in any known way. Some of these are green super foods and most of them are rich in antioxidants therefore cancer fighting. When you go on a diet of these super foods your system will be cleansed and thus you will get the energy that was missing from your hectic life.

Here are the main components of this power diet.

List Of Super Foods On Your Diet:

1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil: It is not without any rhyme or reason that we keep stressing on the 'extra virgin' part of the olive oil component. Processing spoils the special omega 3-fatty acids in olive oil thus you should have it raw. In fact heating olive oil spoils all its health benefits so avoid cooking with olive oil. Use it as a base for raw spices or salad dressing to make it release the 'bad' fats from your body by increasing your metabolism rate.

2. Bell Peppers Or Capsicum: This green super food has numerous advantages, the prime one being its cancer fighting properties. It is rich in anti oxidants and thus it has anti aging properties too. Pick up the red and yellow bell peppers more often because they are more nutritious.

3. Almonds: Almond is a recent addition to this list of super food diet. The nutritious properties of almonds are so many that there is something called almond diet itself. Almonds soaked in water and eaten in the morning give you all the extra energy for the whole day and they are not fattening.

4. Berries: Your power diet simply must contain berries; they may be of any breed, type or colour they will always do you good. Blueberry is the most nutritious of the lot but all the other berries like strawberries are equally full of vitamin C and anti oxidants. In fact they have photochemicals that can modify the 'obese' gene in your body to make you slim down.

5. Nuts And Seeds: Almond is also a nut but it is mentioned separately because it is one of a kind. More or less all nuts and seeds are known to be healthy but not in the league of almonds. Chia seeds for example has been predicted to be the next super food for vegetarians as it contains essential minerals that can be found in meats and seafoods only.

6. Green Vegetables: Green super foods have an edge over others as they give you vital vitamins like A, K and follates apart from the antioxidants. Your blood count, skin, hair and youth depends on them.

Use these good health tips to go on a balanced super food diet for weight loss.
