1. Whole Eggs - Regularly, a dozen usually lasts me less than two weeks. Tried eating only the white, but it tastes yucky!
2. Fish Oil. Not as a supplement (I am not too keen on supplements) Eat fish once or twice a week these days.
3. Wild Salmon. Going to start making my own sushi - off to the harbour during lunch to get some salmon!!
4. Berries. As often as possible. Dried cranberries always in the house but others are SOOO expensive here. Tried frozen blueberries and they were terrible.
5. Yogurt. Once a day
6. Flax Seeds. Add to various things, never thought to grind them though!
7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Sometimes, used to cook with.
8. Mixed Nuts. As often as possible. also expensive!!
9. Red Meat. Regularly, try for non-beef as often as possible. Ostrich, Springbok, Kudu all taste better, more healthy and better for the environment!! Warthog is delish!!!!!
10. Broccoli. occasional. I live alone so tend to eat veg in phases or else it goes off before I can eat it all
12. Turkey. Never - since I had my gall bladder out it makes me sick every time I eat it
13. Quinoa. Never tried it. Sounds like I should
14. Oats. regular choice for breakfasts, especially winter
15. Tomatoes: Regular (see comment re veg for Broccoli)
16. Oranges. Often in winter, occasional in summer (mostly juice then)
17. Apples. Every day
18. Carrots. Most days
19. Water. I try have enough everyday...
20. Green Tea. No, I can't drink any form of tea, even the ones with no actual tea in them... I am a coffee drinker.0 -

1. Whole Eggs- DAILY
2. Fish Oil - not lately, I used to take salmon oil all the time, but I ran out and didn't buy more. Thanks for the reminder.
3. Wild Salmon- When it comes to salmon, the fattier the better! When I can afford salmon I always opt for alaskan wild salmon. I wish I could afford to eat it twice a week, but it's just too expensive!

5. Yogurt - Daily
6. Flax Seeds - Currently I'm out but yeah, when I have them I use them in a lot of things!
7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil - DAILY YUMEEEEEE
8. Mixed Nuts- Most days I eat at least some almonds, pistachios or cashews.
9. Red Meat.- I use ground meat in my chili but one serving of chili has about an ounce of meat so I average maybe two or three ounces of red meat a week.
10. Broccoli. cabbage, bok choy, cauliflower, kale- Pretty much daily
11. Spinach- two or three times a week

Very informative post. I have eaten most of these, some regularly. I think I may need to overhaul my diet. Thanks for the great food tips!0

I eat those things except for quinoa. I don't like the taste.
What makes something a "super" food anyway? Can't we just call it food? Honestly, if it isn't junk food, it has a long list of nutritional benefits and there are things that aren't on this list that I think are more healthy than some that did. :flowerforyou:0 -

I don't really agree with that. You just incorate them into your goals. 5 grams of fat and 2 saturated is not to much at all. I have had no trouble losing weight eating eggs. Yeah if you go overboard but that can be said for many foods.0 -
everything on the list apart from fish and fish oil if I ate that I'd not be needing to diet - I'm allergic - always wondered what to eat instead to make up for the no fish or shellfish diet.0

Don't even try to convince him... He believes no healthy diet could EVER include whole eggs. He is very passionate about the topic and firmly believes that fat people must not eat eggs if they are serious about weight loss. According to his vast expertise, at a whopping 75 calories each they are just "too fattening". It's not his opinion... according to him it's "fact".0 -

Wow, so we are not allowed to eat fish either?0 -
On a normal diet week - almost all of them but quinoa (but I got some from Costco, just haven't made it yet - fyi: they make frozen individual servings) and I just don't like salmon:(
I have also heard amazing things lately about "chia seeds"??? I can only put so much junk in yogurt and we already do flax at our house. Anyone know how you use these suckers?0 -

Nope, fish is fine, it's just the whole eggs that are too fattening. At first I thought he just thought that they were bad because of the cholesterol, but apparently according to him there is something inherently evil about an egg yolk that prevents weight loss and any scientific studies that contradict his opinion are just "junk science"0 -

I eat eggs everyday. I ate them from the time I was 191 pounds until I was 128 pounds. They are quite healthy, full of protein and healthy fats...which, by the way, is what people losing weight need the most.0
