    Yves veggie dogs (45 calories, 8 g protein, 15% of my iron RDA).

    Where do you get these from? I need these in my life.

    Not really 'superfoods' but discovering that more protein and less carbs keeps me fuller for longer. And dusting off my 2 year old spiraliser and discovering courgetti. I also spiralise carrot and cucumber and I love it! So those are my discoveries and would say they are super goods for me.

    Chocolate.
    It's food. It's super.

    My sentiments exactly. I have a cube every day and it keeps the cravings away.

    I eat duck eggs pretty often, but I don't find them more or less super than chicken eggs. Macros are slightly different and the duck eggs are usually bigger, of course. Anyway, I agree with your love of eggs.

    I don't know about superfoods - but 2 foods that have been a lifesaver for me - baked sweet potato and Greek yogurt. Both of these are so decadent that I feel like I'm eating fattening dessert. So satisfying. So its a superfood to me (whatever that means). its super delicious!

    I don't buy into the concept of super foods per se, but the one food that I eat daily and find filling and enjoyable is cottage cheese. I just love it so much.

    I also have to add beans, quinoa, brown rice, and popcorn to the list of essentials for me.

    Since there are no superfoods, maybe I don't have to force myself to eat kale which is alien food to me.

    Pro tip: don't eat it raw. I got a pre-made salad at work with kale in it thinking "hey, I like kale!" Yo, that was the worst salad I've ever had. Didn't taste good, and it takes SOOOOOO LOOOOONG to chew. I didn't have time to walk on my break. Bad time all around.

    Ooooh...but the Costco Sweet Kale Salad is so good! Maybe because it's not ALL kale, and it's chopped up into smaller pieces. Plus it contains "7 Superfoods!" according to the packaging...ha.

    Green tea isn't why I successfully lose when I lose.

    But it kind of is, because of my behavior pattern around it.

    Instead of getting up from my desk when I get bored to go get a bag of snacks or a sweetened coffee or a little piece of candy, I get up from my desk to get a lightly caffeinated, 0 calorie beverage whose taste I enjoy without any additions. I replaced the habit of snacking when bored with drinking a little bit of caffeine while bored. It works for me.

    It also has antioxidants, fingers crossed on that actually meaning anything, but I mostly like its taste, and its moderate levels of caffeine that allow me to get up and down from my computer several times a day and encourages me to stay hydrated (tea doesn't dehydrate you, that's a myth.)

    The only time I can eat raw kale is when I massage it with an acid (usually apple cider vinegar), some salt, and a bit of olive oil and give it a couple of hours to break down a bit. It's too tough for me otherwise.

    Define "superfood".....

    I think Halo Top was a pretty super find and it replaced my Ben & Jerry's (for the most part ;) ). So, yes, Halo Top has helped me cut back on ice cream calories.

    But, every once in a while some Ben & Jerry's runs away from it's icy home at the grocery store and hitches a ride in my cart.

    Greek yogurt, feels like dessert! Omelets, full of veggies, are a staple in my weightloss journey!
