5 Super Foods for Weight Loss

By Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS

Look, let's get real. Some foods make it really difficult to lose weight. They create their own self-sustaining cravings ("Betcha can't eat just one!") and play havoc with your blood sugar and, ultimately, your waistline.

But some foods do just the opposite.

By now almost everyone knows how great foods like broccoli and blueberries are and how they can help you lose weight -- but here are some foods you may not have thought of when you first saw the title of this article. Yet every one of these foods (and one beverage) meets at least one major criteria of being a super food for weight loss.

Art Therapy

>>>INFATUATION II <<<

Infatuation II "Limited Edition - 295 prints worldwide"

Purity is the secret of fulfilling your desires. The purest heart brings the highest love.

When Art Imitates Love…

“Love is the beauty of the soul”, according to Sainte Augustine, and few are better versed in the theories and intricacies of love and passion than Deepak Chopra – doctor, writer and researcher of spirituality. In his latest masterpiece, The Kama Sutra, Deepak explains the universal themes of spirituality and sexuality in a dynamic new way beautifully complemented by a range of glorious, hypnotizing images.

Seduction, from fantasy to fulfillment is reproduced and portrayed in these striking fine art limited edition Giclées. The first series of 12 hand crafted prints simply entitled “Images of Love” features, Attraction, Infatuation, Intimacy, Surrender, Communion, Passion and ultimately Ecstasy, and are now available as Giclée canvases.

Exploring transcendence through love and ardor, these images translate the carnal mysteries vividly in wild splashes of color and bold strokes, and nurture their innate sacredness through muted pastels and subtle caresses of the brush.

Characteristics of a Healthful Diet

Alternative Medicine BlogAs many of you might know I have been working in the food and hospitality industry as a chef for about 25 years. Over these many years I have seen my share of fad diets come and go. I have made nutrition and the consequences of healthy eating my "life project," if you will. As part of this effort I am currently working on my Masters Program in Human Nutrition. As you can imagine, these studies involve a lot of reading, and many hours in the library researching the subject of nutrition. My name is Werner Absenger and people always seem to ask me about diets that work. In this review I shall tackle the dilemma you might face when trying to choose foods that contribute to a balanced, adequate diet. I will try to explain why diets that restrict foods and food intake too severely, generally do not work.

First, we need to clarify the definition of a balanced and adequate diet. Adequate diets, despite differences in the kinds of foods eaten, share several things. An adequate diet is made up of foods that provide sufficient essential nutrients. Essential nutrients are substances your body needs for normal growth and health but can not make itself to sustain sufficient levels. Essential nutrients must be consumed through food. You know the major; essential nutrients better as proteins, vitamins, minerals. In addition, an adequate diet provides sufficient calories to meet; caloric needs to cover the body's basic metabolic functions and energy requirements for daily activities. A balanced diet provides neither too much nor too little of nutrients and other food components. An example would be fat and fiber (Brown, 2008).
