SUMMER WEIGHT LOSS FOODS TO BOOST METABOLISM

SUMMER WEIGHT LOSS FOODS TO BOOST METABOLISM
Healthy summer weight loss means keeping things quick, easy and cool in the kitchen. After all, you want to get outside and enjoy the good weather. Happily the abundance of fresh foods that speed metabolism can help make sticking to a diet simple. Make it a fun time for yourself, exploring exciting new flavors or rediscovering old favorites. Here are some delicious summertime choices that are high in nutrition and low in calories. Their high nutrient density means you can enjoy eating again while taking off the extra pounds. With antioxidants, Vitamins, and phytonutrients these foods can help your weight loss hormones leptin and adiponectin do their job of curbing your appetite and getting your metabolism up to speed. Light and refreshing, these choices are perfect for when the temperature goes up.
Healthy Summer Weight Loss Food Number One: Blueberries
Sure you know these sweet, tart berries are good for you. But research now shows that eating blueberries can boost antioxidant levels in the body and help protect against the effects of aging. Exciting studies have demonstrated that the blueberry can help maintain a youthful brain, helping memory and learning. And they contain nutrients that can help lower cholesterol. We include blueberries in breakfasts, desserts and snacks as part of our effective reducing diet.
Healthy Summer Weight Loss Food Number Two: Iced Green Tea
You don’t need to wait for winter to get the big health benefits of green tea. Simply brew some tea and then let it cool in the fridge to make a thirst-quenching delicious drink. It is perfect without added sugar or sweeteners. Green tea is high in antioxidants and can help increase metabolism. This delightful beverage may even help prevent chronic disease, lowering the risk of some cancers. The high nutritional benefits of green tea make it a perfect part of a healthy meal plan.
Healthy Summer Weight Loss Food Number Three: Strawberries
Strawberries are a summertime classic bursting with flavor and health benefits. Eating these juicy berries can help make your fat burning hormone adiponectin work properly. The strawberry has Vitamin C and can also moderate blood sugar. We like to eat strawberries just as they are, to get the benefits without adding extra calories from sugar. For more on how this natural treat can stimulate your metabolism, see our article.
Healthy Summer Weight Loss Food Number Four: Fresh Parsley
High in antioxidants and Vitamin C , fresh parsley should be on any short list of healthy summer foods. This fresh herb is also a carotenoid champ, with zeaxanthin, lutein and beta carotene for maintaining healthy vision. Look for a fresh bunch of parsley at the supermarket or farmer’s market and start eating green. Sprinkle a little of this fresh herb onto your favorite dishes and new recipes and see how they come to life.
Healthy Summer Weight Loss Food Number Five: Garden Salad
Big, crunchy and satisfying, beautiful summer salads answer the question: What’s to eat? Quick and easy to toss together, salad keeps the kitchen cool when cooking is off the menu. They are a wonderful way to get more vegetables—a lot more, into your day. Optimum nutrition requires 9 or 10 servings of fruit and vegetables per day, and having salad is a delicious way to get there. But skip the fat-free dressing. To absorb nutrients such as carotenoids, a little bit of healthy fat is required. That’s why our diet includes dressing recipes made with extra virgin olive oil or walnut oil. So let yourself off the hook from cooking and make a big salad your healthy meal.
Healthy eating during the warmer months means enjoying more of the fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs that are available during the season. Work blueberries, strawberries, green tea, fresh parsley and salad into your new routine. This can jump-start your weight loss hormone leptin so you can get in shape for swimsuit season.

WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF BLUEBERRIES?
July 13, 2010 by ANITA STONE
Filed under Health, Nutrition Tips
What is the nutritional value of blueberries?
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the big flavor and bold color of the remarkable blueberry. It is easy to find luscious blueberries with a sweet and tart flavor. In season they are a good value from the farmer’s market, farm stand or supermarket. They are a satisfying snack and popular ingredient in everything from blueberry muffins to blueberry smoothies.

With all of the health research in the news, you may be wondering–what is the nutritional value of blueberries?
The nutritional value of blueberries starts with vitamins. Blueberries are a source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K. But that is just the beginning. These little berries also provide fiber.
In terms of nutritional value, the anthocyanins just might be the star of the blueberry lineup. The deep blue color of blueberries comes from a group of flavonoids called anthocyanins, which have remarkable antioxidant power. Blueberry anthocyanins can help provide protection from the effects of oxidative stress, which underlies the common disorders associated with aging.
Here’s a look at what is the nutritional value of blueberries in terms of protection against oxidative stress:
In a study mice stressed by aging or by toxins were fed blueberries at a dose that would equal one cup a day for a human. Blueberry-fed mice performed better than “control” mice (not fed blueberries) on tests of learning, memory and coordination.
In addition to fighting oxidative stress, eating blueberries may have other important nutritional value that provides benefits:
Blueberries contain flavonoids that can prevent urinary tract infection.
A group of chemicals that are found in blueberries called stilbenes could have cholesterol-lowering effects.
Enjoying blueberries is a great way to boost consumption of fruit and vegetables to 9-10 servings per day, the amount of fruit and vegetables we recommend in The Fat Resistance Diet. What is the goal of our diet? To achieve a high level of nutritional value to help reduce inflammation and reverse leptin resistance. Improving the function of the leptin mechanism can help boost metabolism and facilitate weight loss.
Blueberries are used throughout The Fat Resistance Diet recipes and meal plans for power breakfasts, tasty snacks and delicious desserts.
As a breakfast treat, try our Smart Start Smoothie (p. 179). I enjoy making our Blueberry Cinnamon Bowl (p. 242) for breakfast. It’s a family favorite. Berries alone are good for a snack or dessert at any time. Try the Blueberry Parfait (p. 220) or Frosty Yogurt (p. 221). To enjoy pancakes the healthy way, make our Blueberry Flax Pancakes (p. 282).
