Metabolism boosters... 7 foods you need!

I saw on the news last night, the 7 foods that will best help you lose weight. They give your metabolism a kick in the booty!! LOL!

1. Cheese - especially whole-fat, low-calorie cheese. Look for one higher in fat and lower in calories, like ricotta.

2. Almonds - roasted and unsalted (or lightly salted). This is the best nut for that "good for you" fat.

3. Coffee - BLACK! No sugar, no creamer, because they add fat and calories.

4. Green Tea - about 3 cups per day for most people.

5. Chili peppers - Something about the capsasin?? I don't remember exactly what was said, but it helps other stuff too, like arthritis.

6. Eggs - especially in the morning. Something about the particular type of proteins & fats in eggs.

7. Mushrooms - They said especially Portibello mushrooms, because they have a higher potassium count. Potassium bonds with sodium and makes it easier to flush out through your kidneys, so you will be less likely to retain water.


All sound like yummy options most of us avoid. Turns out they are best for weight loss!! I know what I will be eating for breakfast in the morning (hint: you can include most of these in an omlett!!) Enjoy!
