There’s no such thing as eating food that can make you look younger and feel healthier overnight. But over time, getting the right nutrients can make a difference! Here are 5 superfoods that can help you lose weight, boost your heart health and give your skin a nice healthy glow.
You know what they say: real beauty comes from the inside! We could say the same for good health.
When you eat right, exercise daily, get enough sleep and learn how to manage stress, you’ll start to look and feel your best.
Not sure where to start? Simply start with these five foods below.
1. Oats
Talk about a superfood! Research shows the feel-full fiber in whole-grain oats can help you eat less and lose weight. In one study, eating oats helped people trim their waists and lose overall body fat. They also keep your skin healthy, too, with nutrients like copper, zinc and niacin.
2. Wild Salmon
Salmon has a lot of health benefits, and wild salmon in particular is one fantastic fish. It contains astaxanthin, a type of antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease by lowering cholesterol. Salmon can help with weight loss as well. Studies suggest their omega-3s can help reduce belly fat.
3. Blueberries
These tasty little gems are higher in antioxidants than nearly any other food, delivering powerful heart-healthy benefits. And because antioxidants help prevent and slow sun damage, eating blueberries is a way to help your skin look younger, too. Also, their fiber helps you feel full, so you eat less, potentially losing weight!
4. Avocados
Researchers found that the avocado eaters weighed less, had less belly fat and showed a much lower risk of metabolic syndrome, a group of symptoms that can lead to diabetes and heart disease compared to the non-avocado fans. Avocados are packed with vitamins C, E and K, all important for skin health. Plus, the healthy fat in avocados may help prevent wrinkles, while other nutrients help reduce sun damage.
5. Walnuts
Walnuts may be high in calories but, they’re also soaring in nutrients! Walnuts have more ALA, the heart-healthy omega-3 found in plants, than any other plant food. They’re also high in protein and fiber, both of which can help you lose weight. Walnuts with their antioxidants can also slow aging, while vitamin E, zinc and selenium help nourish and protect.

Shopping for groceries can be a bit overwhelming. You’ve got crowds to avoid and a budget to keep in mind. Also, not to mention, those unhealthy aisles that are trying to entice you to grab some off their shelves.
The trip to the grocery is one of the most important parts of your weight loss journey. What you put in your cart can make or break your healthy-eating goals!
Having nutritious ingredients on hand makes it easier for you to whip up healthy meals even on nights you’re tempted to order in.
Here are 13 healthy kitchen staples for fast and cheap meals.
Tomatoes
They can become pasta sauce, a sandwich, a salad. Very versatile depending on how much effort you want to put into the meal.
Tuna
Eat straight from the pouch or mix in a salad or pasta.
Frozen fruit
No preparation needed. But you can make smoothies too! They thaw out relatively fast so you could put some in your yogurt or oatmeal.
Oatmeal
Don’t buy instant: it’s incredibly not worth the cost. If you can afford the expense buy the cheapest per ounce container you can find of just plain rolled oats, or steel cut if you prefer.
Sweet Potatoes
Potatoes! Doesn’t get cheaper or more nutrient dense.
Cabbage
Cabbage is always a great choice—purple is especially full of antioxidants. Cook with potatoes and you’ve got a delicious, healthy, cheap and super filling meal.
Ginger
It’s a cheap way to add a lot of flavor, especially if you’re going to be doing rice dishes; a 50 cent piece of ginger will last several meals, in my experience.
Avocados
Put them on toast, use them in smoothies. Make guacamole. Eat it plain.
Chicken breasts
Put some chicken breasts, taco seasoning, and some salsa into a slow cooker for a few hours, makes juicy taco meat for the week. Buy some shredded cheese, avocado and other toppings. Good in tortillas, nachos, Quesadillas mixed in Spanish rice, all kinds of stuff.
Frozen veggies
Throw your favorite frozen veggies in a pan, cube some extra firm tofu and throw it into the pan, add stir fry sauce to your liking and heat until everything is warm. If you want to get super fancy, throw in some matchstick carrots and shredded cabbage.
Eggs
Make an omelet. Make a frittata. Throw in veggies. Throw in frozen ham steak. Mix an egg in instant ramen. Hard boil them and make egg salad.
Gluten Free Pasta & Bread
Just because you’re no longer eating wheat doesn’t mean that pasta and bread are off the menu.
These staples will surely save you from bad food choices and will keep you fuller longer and get the nutrition that you need.
What are your favorite foods that you always stock up in the fridge?

Is Your body holding you back?
In this weeks Motivation Monday’s video I spoke about 2 ways you might be Sabotaging Your Weight-Loss.
I know I have been guilty of them both. It’s not your fault. But I can help you with this.
Sometimes events that occurred in our lives were so traumatic, that until we heal them they are unconsciously triggering us to reach for food and emotionally eat. We all have our trigger foods that we reach for when we get angry hurt or sad. This is an old pattern that I help people with in my Commit To Be Fit Coaching.
Number #1:
We eat really healthy all week long and then sabotage ourselves over the weekend with too much food and drinking. I know for sure that I have done that until I figured it out, and now I want to help you.
Number #2:
The other way we self sabotage is to eat really well all day long and then to mindlessly eat at night. I help people learn how to stop the self sabotage and finally learn how to think thin. If you’ve ever wanted to free yourself from emotional eating hit reply, I look forward to helping you crush this pattern!
Our recipe for this week is SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH WILD CAUGHT SHRIMP SCAMPI & ROASTED VEGGIES. Follow the recipe below and start making your own delicious meals!
