Going on a diet?

by Anastasia Kasko 

Here are a list of foods and drinks that will help your diet and why.

Fish: Three servings of this a week will seriously help you (if you don’t fry it). Fish is high in protein and contains fatty acids that are essential for your cell health.

Eggplant: A great source of potassium will help your diet; in addition to its great taste eggplant can’t be fun to dress up with different spices and whatnot.

Pinto Beans: These magic little beans give you a great source of folate which can help you against heart disease and for all the women out there, they can reduce the risk of birth defects.

Red Grapes: These little wonders have iron, potassium, and fiber.

Tomatoes: Full of vitamins, and also a great source of lycopene which prevents cancer.

Almonds: Nuts in general are usually good for you, but almonds have Vitamin E, fiber, and B Vitamins. The stuff in almonds is good for both your brain and skin.

Apricots: These bad boys get in your system and leave 10 times faster; loaded with fiber you’re sure to have a good time.

Oranges: Overall oranges are great for you. If you’re looking for a good treat these fruits are filled with good things and they taste good.

Lean Meat: When on a diet make sure you stick to lean meats; fried chicken, hamburger, and pork usually are not on this list.

White Chicken: Chicken is great for you because it provides a great low fat source of protein, and vitamins.

Carrots: These are good for your skin and provide a healthy snack.

Celery: Literally giving you negative calories because it takes more effort and energy to actually chew the celery than it provides.

So if you’re on a diet, or plan to be on one, stick to foods like this. They provide the vitamins you need and you won’t be hungry at the end of the day.
