Potent Foods Part III

Kiwi

This New Zealand native is a sweet treat at only forty-six calories per fruit. Chinese public health officials praise the tasty fruit for its high vitamin C content and potassium. It stores easily in the refrigerator for up to a month. Most people like it peeled, but the fuzzy skin is also edible. (“36 Fat Burning Foods You Should Know About » Flat Belly Bible”)

Leeks

“These members of the onion family look like giant scallions and are every bit as healthful and flavorful as their better-known cousins.” (“What Are the Potent Foods to Eat for Your Fitness? | prCvir”)

They come as close to calorie-free as it gets at a mere thirty-two calories per cooked cup. (“What Are the Potent Foods to Eat for Your Fitness? | prCvir”)

You can poach or broil halved leeks and then marinate them in vinaigrette or season with Romano cheese, fine mustard, or herbs. (“Potent Foods – Part 2 – Health Magg”)

They also make a good soup.

Lettuce

“People think lettuce is nutritionally worthless, but nothing could be farther from the truth.” (“36 Fat Burning Foods You Should Know About » Flat Belly Bible”) You cannot leave it out of your weight-loss plans, not at 10 calories per cup of raw romaine. “It provides a lot of filling bulk for so few calories.” (“What Are the Potent Foods to Eat for Your Fitness? | prCvir”)

And it is full of vitamin C, too. “Go beyond iceberg lettuce with Boston, bibb and cos varieties or try watercress, arugula, radicchio, dandelion greens, purslane and even parsley to liven up your salads.” (“36 Fat Burning Foods You Should Know About » Flat Belly Bible”)

Melons

“Now, here’s great taste and great nutrition in a low-calorie package!” (“Fat Burning Foods – Moms Who Think”)

One cup of cantaloupe balls has sixty-two calories, on cup of casaba balls has forty-four calories, one cup of honeydew balls has sixty-two calories, and one cup of watermelon balls has forty-nine calories.

“They have some of the highest fiber content of any food and are delicious.” (“What Are the Potent Foods to Eat for Your Fitness? | prCvir”) Throw in handsome quantities of vitamins A and C plus a whopping 547 mgs of potassium in that cup of cantaloupe, and you have a fat-burning health food beyond compare.

Oats

A cup of oatmeal or oat bran has only 110 calories. And oats help you lose weight.

Subjects in Dr. James Anderson’s landmark 12-year study at the University of Kentucky lost three pounds in two months simply by adding one hundred grams (3.5 ounces) of oat bran to their daily food intake and nothing else. Just do not expect oats alone to perform miracles – you must eat a balanced diet for total health.

Onions

“Flavorful, aromatic, inexpensive and low in calories, onions deserve a regular place in your diet.” (“Onions: Flavorful, aromatic, – Healthy-meal-plans …”)

One cup of chopped raw onions has only sixty calories, and one raw medium onion (2.15” diameter) has just forty-two. “They control cholesterol, thin the blood, protect against cholesterol and may have some value in counteracting allergic reactions.” (“36 Fat Burning Foods You Should Know About » Flat Belly Bible”)

Most of all, onions taste good, and they are good for you. Partially boil, peel and bake, basting with olive oil and lemon juice. Or sauté them in white wine and basil, then spread over pizza. Or roast them in sherry and serve over paste. (“Detox and Rehab Healthy Food”)
