The following is a “healthy food hot list” consisting of the 29 food that will give you
the biggest nutritional bang for you caloric buck, as well as decrease your risk for
deadly illnesses like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Along with each
description is a suggestion as to how to incorporate these power-foods into your
diet.
Fruits
01. Apricots
The Power: Beta-carotene, which helps prevent free-radical damage and protect
the eyes. The body also turns beta-carotene into vitamin A, which may help ward
off some cancers, especially of the skin. One apricot has 17 calories, 0 fat, 1 gram
of fiber. Snacks on them dried, or if you prefer fresh, buy when still firm; once they
soften, they lose nutrients.
02. Avocados
The Power: Oleic acid, an unsaturated fat that helps lower overall cholesterol and
raise levels of HDL, plus a good dose of fiber. One slice has 81 calories, 8 grams of
fat and 3 grams of fiber. Try a few slices instead of mayonnaise to dress up your
next burger.
03. Raspberries
The Power: Ellagic acid, which helps stall cancer-cell growth. These berries are
also packed with vitamin C and are high in fiber, which helps prevent high
cholesterol and heart disease. A cup has only 60 calories, 1 gram of fat and 8
grams of fiber. Top plain low-fat yogurt or oatmeal (another high fiber food) with
fresh berries.
05. Cantaloupe
The Power: Vitamin C (117mg in half a melon, almost twice the recommended daily
dose) and beta-carotene - both powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from
free-radical damage. Plus, half a melon has 853mg of potassium - almost twice as
much as a banana, which helps lower blood pressure. Half a melon has 97 calories,
1 gram of fat and 2 grams of fiber. Cut into cubes and freeze, then blend into an icy
smoothie.
06. Cranberry Juice
The Power: Helps fight bladder infections by preventing harmful bacteria from
growing. A cup has 144 calories, 0 grams of fat and 0 fiber. Buy 100 percent juice
concentrate and use it to spice up your daily H20 without adding sugar.
07. Tomato
The Power: Lycopene, one of the strongest carotenoids, acts as an antioxidant.
Research shows that tomatoes may cut the risk of bladder, stomach and colon
cancers in half if eaten daily. A tomato has 26 calories, 0 fat and 1 gram of fiber.
Drizzle fresh slices with olive oil, because lycopene is best absorbed when eaten
with a little fat.
08. Raisins
The Power: These little gems are a great source of iron, which helps the blood
transport oxygen and which many women are short on. A half-cup has 218 calories,
0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Sprinkle raisins on your morning oatmeal or bran cereal -
women, consider this especially during your period.
09. Figs
The Power: A good source of potassium and fiber, figs also contain vitamin B6,
which is responsible for producing mood-boosting serotonin, lowering cholesterol
and preventing water retention. The Pill depletes B6, so if you use this method of
birth control, make sure to get extra B6 in your diet. One fig has 37 to 48 calories, 0
fat and 2 grams of fiber. (Cookie lovers - fig bars have around 56 calories, 1 gram
of fat and 1 gram of fiber per cookie). Fresh figs are delicious simmered alongside
a pork tenderloin and the dried variety make a great portable gym snack.
10. Lemons/Limes
The Power: Limonene, furocoumarins and vitamin C, all of which help prevent
cancer. A wedge has 2 calories, 0 fat and 0 fiber. Buy a few of each and squeeze
over salads, fish, beans and vegetables for fat free flavor. See also: Beneficial
Bytes: Lemons and Limes.
Vegetables
11. Onions
The Power: Quercetin is one of the most powerful flavonoids (natural plant
antioxidants). Studies show it helps protect against cancer. A cup (chopped) has 61
calories, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Chop onions for the maximum phytonutrient
boost, or if you hate to cry, roast them with a little olive oil and serve with rice or
other vegetables.
12. Artichokes
The Power: These odd-looking vegetables contain silymarin, an antioxidant that
helps prevent skin cancer, plus fiber to help control cholesterol. One medium
artichoke has 60 calories, 0 fat and 7 grams of fiber. Steam over boiling water for
30 to 40 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice on top, then pluck the leaves off with your
fingers and use your teeth to scrape off the rich-tasting skin. When you get to the
heart, you have found the best part!
13. Ginger
The Power: Gingerols may help reduce queasiness; other compounds may help
ward off migraines and arthritis pain by blocking inflammation-causing
prostaglandins. A teaspoon of fresh gingerroot has only 1 calorie, 0 fat and 0 fiber.
Peel the tough brown skin and slice or grate into a stir-fry.
14. Broccoli
The Power: Indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane, which help protect against breast
cancer. Broccoli also has lots of vitamin C and beta-carotene. One cup (chopped)
has 25 calories, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Don’t overcook broccoli - instead,
microwave or steam lightly to preserve phytonutrients. Squeeze fresh lemon on top
for a zesty and taste, added nutrients and some vitamin C.
15. Spinach
The Power: Lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that help fend off macular
degeneration, a major cause of blindness in older people. Plus, studies show this
green fountain of youth may help reverse some signs of aging. One cup has 7
calories, 0 fat and 1 gram of fiber. Add raw leaves to a salad or sauté with a little
olive oil and garlic.
16. Bok Choy (Chinese cabbage)
The Power: Brassinin, which some research suggests may help prevent breast
tumors, plus indoles and isothiocyanates, which lower levels of estrogen, make this
vegetable a double-barreled weapon against breast cancer. A cup will also give you
158mg of calcium (16 percent of your daily recommended requirement) to help beat
osteoporosis. A cup (cooked) has 20 calories, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Find it in
your grocer’s produce section or an Asian market. Slice the greens and juicy white
stalks, then saute like spinach or toss into a stir-fry just before serving.
17. Squash (Butternut, Pumpkin, Acorn)
The Power: Winter squash has huge amounts of vitamin C and beta-carotene,
which may help protect against endometrial cancer. One cup (cooked) has 80
calories, 1 gram of fat and 6 grams of fiber. Cut on in half, scoop out the seeds and
bake or microwave until soft, then dust with cinnamon.
18. Watercress and Arugula
The Power: Phenethyl isothiocyanate, which, along with beta-carotene and
vitamins C and E, may help keep cancer cells at bay. One cup has around 4
calories, 0 fat and 1 gram of fiber. Do not cook these leafy greens; instead, use
them to garnish a sandwich or add a pungent, peppery taste to salad.
19. Garlic
The Power: The sulfur compounds that give garlic its pungent flavor can also lower
LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, lower blood pressure and even reduce your risk of
stomach and colon cancer. A clove has 4 calories, 0 fat and 0 fiber. Bake a whole
head for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft and sweet and spread on bread instead of
butter.
Grains, Beans and Nuts
20. Quinoa
The Power: A half cup of cooked quinoa has 5 grams of protein, more than any
other grain, plus iron, riboflavin and magnesium. A half-cup has 318 calories, 5
grams of fat and 5 grams of fiber. Add to soup for a protein boost. Rinse first, or it
will taste bitter.
21. Wheat Germ
The Power: A tablespoon gives you about 7 percent of your daily magnesium,
which helps prevent muscle cramps; it is also a good source of vitamin E. One
tablespoon has 27 calories, 1 gram of fat and 1 gram of fiber. Sprinkle some over
yogurt, fruit or cereal.
22. Lentils
The Power: Isoflavones, which may inhibit estrogen-promoted breast cancers, plus
fiber for heart health and an impressive 9 grams of protein per half cup. A half-cup
(cooked) has 115 calories, 0 fat and 8 grams of fiber. Isoflavones hold up through
processing, so buy lentils canned, dried or already in soup. Take them to work, and
you will have a protein packed lunch.
23. Peanuts
The Power: Studies show that peanuts or other nuts (which contain mostly
unsaturated “good” fat) can lower your heart-disease risk by over 20 percent. One
ounce has 166 calories, 14 grams of fat and 2 grams of fiber. Keep a packet in
your briefcase, gym bag or purse for a protein-packed post-workout nosh or an
afternoon pick me up that will satisfy you until supper, or chop a few into a stir-fry
for a Thai accent. See also: The Nut Case
24. Pinto Beans
The Power: A half cup has more than 25 percent of your daily requirement of
folate, which helps protect against heart disease and reduces the risk of birth
defects. A half-cup (canned) has 103 calories, 1 gram of fat and 6 grams of fiber.
Drain a can, rinse and toss into a pot of vegetarian chili.
25. The Power: Bacteria in active-culture yogurt helps prevent yeast infections;
calcium strengthens bones. A cup has 155 calories, 4 grams of fat, 0 grams of
fiber. Get the plain kind and mix in your own fruit to keep calories and sugar down.
If you are lactose intolerant, never fear — yogurt should not bother your tummy.
26. Skim Milk
The Power: Riboflavin (a.k.a. vitamin B2) is important for good vision and along
with vitamin A might help improve eczema and allergies. Plus, you get calcium and
vitamin D, too. One cup has 86 calories, 0 fat and 0 fiber. If you are used to high fat
milk, don’t go cold turkey; instead, mix the two together at first. Trust this fact: In a
week or two you won’t miss it!
Seafood
27. Shellfish (Clams, Mussels)
The Power: Vitamin B12 to support nerve and brain function, plus iron and hard-to-
get minerals like magnesium and potassium. Three ounces has 126 to 146 calories,
2 to 4 grams of fat and 0 fiber. Try a bowl of tomato-based (and low fat) Manhattan
clam chowder.
28. Salmon
The Power: Cold-water fish like salmon, mackerel and tuna are the best sources of
omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce the risk of cardiac disease. A 3-ounce
portion (cooked) has 127 calories, 4 grams of fat, 0 fiber. Brush fillets with ginger-
soy marinade and grill or broil until fish flakes easily with a fork.
29. Crab
The Power: A great source of vitamin B12 and immunity-boosting zinc. A 3-ounce
portion has 84 calories, 1 gram of fat, 0 fiber. The “crab” in sushi is usually made
from fish; buy it canned instead and make your own crab cakes.
Changing your mode of thinking can help you lose weight. Doing so might seem
artificial at first, and you might have to push yourself to do it. But after a couple of
days, it should become fairly natural for you. So think like a winner to cut off and
prevent errors!

Tips ... thinking
- The food looks so tempting. Do I like it enough to wear it? I’ve tasted it all before.
It didn’t make me happy; it only made me fat.
- I’ll just have one. If I could have just one, why have I been fat for so long? I’ve
been eating for years, and one was never enough. Stop lying to myself. If I don’t
take the first little taste, if I don’t begin, I won’t have any problem.
- One pretzel won’t hurt. I’ve gained more weight with my fingers than with my
mouth. Remember, I’m a chain eater with finger foods.
- Those rolls look so good. Stop looking at and glorifying the very food that makes
me fat. What am I looking at? I know what rolls look like—I’m wearing 10 pounds of
them now. It’s not free; I have to wear it.
- Those desserts must taste good. Thin tastes better.
- I’ll feel deprived if I don’t have a dessert. The only real deprivation is never being
thin. I’ve already spent so many years being fat due to eating desserts. I’m living my
life backward. I’m putting a piece of food before my body and my right to be thin
and healthy. Was I in paradise when I was eating desserts? No! I was fat and
miserable.
- I blew it by eating the French fries, so I stopped trying and ate everything . I was
very bad! I didn’t blow it, though; I had a break in control. Everyone makes mistakes
when learning a new skill. I contain the mistakes and move forward.
- Everytime I see sweets, I crave them. A craving is a feeling—not a command.
Feelings pass. There’ll be no pain, no blood loss. I will not have to call 911 for the
rescue sqaud. Studies show that cravings pass in minutes. If I don’t negotiate or
equivocate, isn’t thin worth a few minutes?
It’s 3:30 P.M and you’re ready to pounce out of your cubicle and into the vending
machine or possibly hit up the local Starbucks for a mocha frappuccino—extra whip,
please! Or maybe it’s 8:30 at night and you find yourself raiding the cabinets (and
freezer) lusting for treats! Sound familiar? Probably too familiar; it seems these
cravings tend happen at the same time every day when your blood sugar drops
and you reach for the closest, most convenient ‘sugar-laden’ nibble. This fix may
provide instant gratification, but it can cause your blood sugar levels to spike sky
high and then collapse hours later. When you find yourself in similar situations, take
a moment to deconstruct your cravings by understanding their source. I work with
numerous clients who face strong cravings and it’s my job to help deconstruct and
modify their lifestyle so these cravings disappear. Cravings do not come from lack
of willpower or discipline and it’s important to understand that cravings are not a
sign of weakness on your part; they are simply a sign that the body needs
something to balance it out.
Yin / Yang. Your craving for a juicy burger may denote your need for more protein,
or perhaps your desire for sweets may signify a blood-sugar imbalance. If you listen
to your longings for foods, they present valuable clues about what your body really
needs. Take a look at your foods, shortfalls and behaviors that are the principal
causes of your cravings: is your diet too yin or too yang? Certain foods have more
yin qualities (expansive) such as refined white flour and sugar, while others have
more yang qualities (contractive) such as salt and animal proteins. Eating foods too
yin can cause you to crave yang foods and vise versa. For instance, eating a diet
too rich in protein (yang) may cause a craving for sweets (yin) and eating too many
raw foods (yin) may cause cravings for cooked and dehydrated foods. Your goal is
to find balance for your body through a happy medium between yin and yang.
Eat Less, More. It’s quite possible you experience cravings because you aren’t
eating enough at meals or your daily diet is missing valuable nutrients. If you are
lacking nutrients, your body knows it and is not afraid to let you know. For instance,
did you know that inadequate iron and magnesium levels may stimulate chocolate
cravings? Another culprit of cravings is low blood sugar. You can easily avoid this
by eating small, well-balanced meals every few hours and keeping your office,
home, car and gym bag stocked with healthy foods. Doing this will help keep your
blood sugar level stable and eliminate your body’s craving for a sugar fix.
Get Creative. Jazz up your meals and snacks; the same old, same old day in and
day out can be mundane and lead to cravings for sugary treats. Opt for whole grain
crackers with a mashed avocado and lime juice; mocha; a baked banana with
chilled almond butter; a smoothie (in a blender add ice, diced melon, Greek yogurt
and chia seeds) or try whipping up a nutty ball (in a blender add oats, almonds,
lemon juice, cinnamon, sesame seeds, brown rice syrup, poppy seeds and dates;
form a ball with your hands and refrigerate).
Reduce Processed Junk. I always suggest my clients reduce excess refined carbs
such as white flour pasta, donuts and pastries; instead reach for sprouted and
whole grain options. When we eat less ‘added’ sugar, our bodies are able to
maintain its natural balance and we are less likely to crave those processed sweets.
Furthermore, I recommend eliminating fat-free or low-fat foods, both of which
contain high amounts of sugar to compensate for the lack of flavor and fat; these
products will only set you up for a roller-coaster ride of sugar highs and lows. It’s
easy to reduce the processed foods in your diet by filling your plate with lean
proteins, healthy fats, whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
Sugar Leads to Cravings. It’s everywhere these days and you can’t hide from it.
Aside from ice cream and chocolate there is hidden sugar in canned foods, ketchup
and salad dressings! Don’t be tricked by the labeling on your packaged foods;
sugar can be disguised with terms such as corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup,
maltose, fructose and dextrose. Being aware of sugar content can help you avoid
high-sugar foods and kick the addiction. As an alternative, sweeten your dish with
dried fruit, raw honey, stevia, agave nectar, date sugar, brown rice syrup, birch
sugar (xylitol), birch syrup, maple syrup, or molasses. Furthermore, experiment with
tasty spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and coriander to naturally
sweeten your foods and reduce your cravings.
Non-Food Sources. Did you know cravings can stem from non-food sources? Food
is only one source of your energy; take a look at all areas of your life to find any
imbalances before addressing the foods you eat. Nutrition is simply one component
of the dynamic of a healthy lifestyle. Sweetness can come from many sources; slow
down and find it in non-food ways! Get more sleep and R n’ R; rest and relaxation
are key to toning down your cravings. When you’re sleepy or stressed, your body
will naturally crave energy in the form of sugar. Take a look at the foods you’re
eating, perhaps you eat too much or too little animal protein, which can certainly
lead to sugar cravings. I teach my clients to focus on self-care habits and tell them
to try simple activities such as walking, yoga or pilates.
Analyze all non-food sources in your life. Ask yourself if you’re bored, stressed,
upset, dissatisfied with a relationship, uninspired by your job or engaged in an
inappropriate exercise routine (too much/too little/wrong type). Are you feeding your
feelings and not your soul? Maybe you’re yearning for those childhood comfort
foods. But there’s no need to worry, it’s easy to modify your favorite recipes with
healthy alternatives! By simply changing up a few things, like trading in sour cream
for Greek yogurt and swapping those greasy, processed potato chips and fries for
homemade chips and fries using naturally sweet veggies like winter squash, beets,
onions, parsnips, yams, carrots, sweet potatoes and rutabaga, you can have the
flavor without the empty calories. Surprisingly, many of my clients’ cravings naturally
disappear when they add sweet veggies and fruits to their diet. Unlike processed
foods, natural sugar is found in fruit, beans, veggies and grains. These also
contain a variety of proteins, enzymes, minerals and vitamins. The sugars in these
foods are digested differently than the empty calories of white sugar in many
processed foods. Furthermore, their high fiber content allows for slower absorption,
which ensures you will not get the sugar rush and that you would from a candy bar.
Intentions / Reflections. I encourage my clients to begin each day by writing down
morning intentions and end it with reflections on what they’ve consumed: how many
whole grains, veggies and fruits, how much protein you ate, and jot down how you
felt before and afterwards in terms of cravings, mood, energy and digestion. This
food-mood journaling encourages you to look for associations between what you
consume and how you feel immediately after eating and hours later.
Overall, it’s important to understand that cravings are not ‘bad’ and we are not ‘bad’
for experiencing them. Every one of us is incredibly different; a lifestyle and diet
that works for one person will not necessarily work for another. For overall
satisfaction, we need to tailor our way of life to our unique needs. This includes
factoring in foods, relationships, exercise and anything else of importance to you.
Listen to your longings for food, they carry valuable clues about what your body
really needs. Remember to relax and let yourself enjoy a treat every once in awhile-

the biggest nutritional bang for you caloric buck, as well as decrease your risk for
deadly illnesses like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Along with each
description is a suggestion as to how to incorporate these power-foods into your
diet.
Fruits
01. Apricots
The Power: Beta-carotene, which helps prevent free-radical damage and protect
the eyes. The body also turns beta-carotene into vitamin A, which may help ward
off some cancers, especially of the skin. One apricot has 17 calories, 0 fat, 1 gram
of fiber. Snacks on them dried, or if you prefer fresh, buy when still firm; once they
soften, they lose nutrients.
02. Avocados
The Power: Oleic acid, an unsaturated fat that helps lower overall cholesterol and
raise levels of HDL, plus a good dose of fiber. One slice has 81 calories, 8 grams of
fat and 3 grams of fiber. Try a few slices instead of mayonnaise to dress up your
next burger.
03. Raspberries
The Power: Ellagic acid, which helps stall cancer-cell growth. These berries are
also packed with vitamin C and are high in fiber, which helps prevent high
cholesterol and heart disease. A cup has only 60 calories, 1 gram of fat and 8
grams of fiber. Top plain low-fat yogurt or oatmeal (another high fiber food) with
fresh berries.
05. Cantaloupe
The Power: Vitamin C (117mg in half a melon, almost twice the recommended daily
dose) and beta-carotene - both powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from
free-radical damage. Plus, half a melon has 853mg of potassium - almost twice as
much as a banana, which helps lower blood pressure. Half a melon has 97 calories,
1 gram of fat and 2 grams of fiber. Cut into cubes and freeze, then blend into an icy
smoothie.
06. Cranberry Juice
The Power: Helps fight bladder infections by preventing harmful bacteria from
growing. A cup has 144 calories, 0 grams of fat and 0 fiber. Buy 100 percent juice
concentrate and use it to spice up your daily H20 without adding sugar.
07. Tomato
The Power: Lycopene, one of the strongest carotenoids, acts as an antioxidant.
Research shows that tomatoes may cut the risk of bladder, stomach and colon
cancers in half if eaten daily. A tomato has 26 calories, 0 fat and 1 gram of fiber.
Drizzle fresh slices with olive oil, because lycopene is best absorbed when eaten
with a little fat.
08. Raisins
The Power: These little gems are a great source of iron, which helps the blood
transport oxygen and which many women are short on. A half-cup has 218 calories,
0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Sprinkle raisins on your morning oatmeal or bran cereal -
women, consider this especially during your period.
09. Figs
The Power: A good source of potassium and fiber, figs also contain vitamin B6,
which is responsible for producing mood-boosting serotonin, lowering cholesterol
and preventing water retention. The Pill depletes B6, so if you use this method of
birth control, make sure to get extra B6 in your diet. One fig has 37 to 48 calories, 0
fat and 2 grams of fiber. (Cookie lovers - fig bars have around 56 calories, 1 gram
of fat and 1 gram of fiber per cookie). Fresh figs are delicious simmered alongside
a pork tenderloin and the dried variety make a great portable gym snack.
10. Lemons/Limes
The Power: Limonene, furocoumarins and vitamin C, all of which help prevent
cancer. A wedge has 2 calories, 0 fat and 0 fiber. Buy a few of each and squeeze
over salads, fish, beans and vegetables for fat free flavor. See also: Beneficial
Bytes: Lemons and Limes.
Vegetables
11. Onions
The Power: Quercetin is one of the most powerful flavonoids (natural plant
antioxidants). Studies show it helps protect against cancer. A cup (chopped) has 61
calories, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Chop onions for the maximum phytonutrient
boost, or if you hate to cry, roast them with a little olive oil and serve with rice or
other vegetables.
12. Artichokes
The Power: These odd-looking vegetables contain silymarin, an antioxidant that
helps prevent skin cancer, plus fiber to help control cholesterol. One medium
artichoke has 60 calories, 0 fat and 7 grams of fiber. Steam over boiling water for
30 to 40 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice on top, then pluck the leaves off with your
fingers and use your teeth to scrape off the rich-tasting skin. When you get to the
heart, you have found the best part!
13. Ginger
The Power: Gingerols may help reduce queasiness; other compounds may help
ward off migraines and arthritis pain by blocking inflammation-causing
prostaglandins. A teaspoon of fresh gingerroot has only 1 calorie, 0 fat and 0 fiber.
Peel the tough brown skin and slice or grate into a stir-fry.
14. Broccoli
The Power: Indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane, which help protect against breast
cancer. Broccoli also has lots of vitamin C and beta-carotene. One cup (chopped)
has 25 calories, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Don’t overcook broccoli - instead,
microwave or steam lightly to preserve phytonutrients. Squeeze fresh lemon on top
for a zesty and taste, added nutrients and some vitamin C.
15. Spinach
The Power: Lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that help fend off macular
degeneration, a major cause of blindness in older people. Plus, studies show this
green fountain of youth may help reverse some signs of aging. One cup has 7
calories, 0 fat and 1 gram of fiber. Add raw leaves to a salad or sauté with a little
olive oil and garlic.
16. Bok Choy (Chinese cabbage)
The Power: Brassinin, which some research suggests may help prevent breast
tumors, plus indoles and isothiocyanates, which lower levels of estrogen, make this
vegetable a double-barreled weapon against breast cancer. A cup will also give you
158mg of calcium (16 percent of your daily recommended requirement) to help beat
osteoporosis. A cup (cooked) has 20 calories, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Find it in
your grocer’s produce section or an Asian market. Slice the greens and juicy white
stalks, then saute like spinach or toss into a stir-fry just before serving.
17. Squash (Butternut, Pumpkin, Acorn)
The Power: Winter squash has huge amounts of vitamin C and beta-carotene,
which may help protect against endometrial cancer. One cup (cooked) has 80
calories, 1 gram of fat and 6 grams of fiber. Cut on in half, scoop out the seeds and
bake or microwave until soft, then dust with cinnamon.
18. Watercress and Arugula
The Power: Phenethyl isothiocyanate, which, along with beta-carotene and
vitamins C and E, may help keep cancer cells at bay. One cup has around 4
calories, 0 fat and 1 gram of fiber. Do not cook these leafy greens; instead, use
them to garnish a sandwich or add a pungent, peppery taste to salad.
19. Garlic
The Power: The sulfur compounds that give garlic its pungent flavor can also lower
LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, lower blood pressure and even reduce your risk of
stomach and colon cancer. A clove has 4 calories, 0 fat and 0 fiber. Bake a whole
head for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft and sweet and spread on bread instead of
butter.
Grains, Beans and Nuts
20. Quinoa
The Power: A half cup of cooked quinoa has 5 grams of protein, more than any
other grain, plus iron, riboflavin and magnesium. A half-cup has 318 calories, 5
grams of fat and 5 grams of fiber. Add to soup for a protein boost. Rinse first, or it
will taste bitter.
21. Wheat Germ
The Power: A tablespoon gives you about 7 percent of your daily magnesium,
which helps prevent muscle cramps; it is also a good source of vitamin E. One
tablespoon has 27 calories, 1 gram of fat and 1 gram of fiber. Sprinkle some over
yogurt, fruit or cereal.
22. Lentils
The Power: Isoflavones, which may inhibit estrogen-promoted breast cancers, plus
fiber for heart health and an impressive 9 grams of protein per half cup. A half-cup
(cooked) has 115 calories, 0 fat and 8 grams of fiber. Isoflavones hold up through
processing, so buy lentils canned, dried or already in soup. Take them to work, and
you will have a protein packed lunch.
23. Peanuts
The Power: Studies show that peanuts or other nuts (which contain mostly
unsaturated “good” fat) can lower your heart-disease risk by over 20 percent. One
ounce has 166 calories, 14 grams of fat and 2 grams of fiber. Keep a packet in
your briefcase, gym bag or purse for a protein-packed post-workout nosh or an
afternoon pick me up that will satisfy you until supper, or chop a few into a stir-fry
for a Thai accent. See also: The Nut Case
24. Pinto Beans
The Power: A half cup has more than 25 percent of your daily requirement of
folate, which helps protect against heart disease and reduces the risk of birth
defects. A half-cup (canned) has 103 calories, 1 gram of fat and 6 grams of fiber.
Drain a can, rinse and toss into a pot of vegetarian chili.
25. The Power: Bacteria in active-culture yogurt helps prevent yeast infections;
calcium strengthens bones. A cup has 155 calories, 4 grams of fat, 0 grams of
fiber. Get the plain kind and mix in your own fruit to keep calories and sugar down.
If you are lactose intolerant, never fear — yogurt should not bother your tummy.
26. Skim Milk
The Power: Riboflavin (a.k.a. vitamin B2) is important for good vision and along
with vitamin A might help improve eczema and allergies. Plus, you get calcium and
vitamin D, too. One cup has 86 calories, 0 fat and 0 fiber. If you are used to high fat
milk, don’t go cold turkey; instead, mix the two together at first. Trust this fact: In a
week or two you won’t miss it!
Seafood
27. Shellfish (Clams, Mussels)
The Power: Vitamin B12 to support nerve and brain function, plus iron and hard-to-
get minerals like magnesium and potassium. Three ounces has 126 to 146 calories,
2 to 4 grams of fat and 0 fiber. Try a bowl of tomato-based (and low fat) Manhattan
clam chowder.
28. Salmon
The Power: Cold-water fish like salmon, mackerel and tuna are the best sources of
omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce the risk of cardiac disease. A 3-ounce
portion (cooked) has 127 calories, 4 grams of fat, 0 fiber. Brush fillets with ginger-
soy marinade and grill or broil until fish flakes easily with a fork.
29. Crab
The Power: A great source of vitamin B12 and immunity-boosting zinc. A 3-ounce
portion has 84 calories, 1 gram of fat, 0 fiber. The “crab” in sushi is usually made
from fish; buy it canned instead and make your own crab cakes.
Changing your mode of thinking can help you lose weight. Doing so might seem
artificial at first, and you might have to push yourself to do it. But after a couple of
days, it should become fairly natural for you. So think like a winner to cut off and
prevent errors!

Tips ... thinking
- The food looks so tempting. Do I like it enough to wear it? I’ve tasted it all before.
It didn’t make me happy; it only made me fat.
- I’ll just have one. If I could have just one, why have I been fat for so long? I’ve
been eating for years, and one was never enough. Stop lying to myself. If I don’t
take the first little taste, if I don’t begin, I won’t have any problem.
- One pretzel won’t hurt. I’ve gained more weight with my fingers than with my
mouth. Remember, I’m a chain eater with finger foods.
- Those rolls look so good. Stop looking at and glorifying the very food that makes
me fat. What am I looking at? I know what rolls look like—I’m wearing 10 pounds of
them now. It’s not free; I have to wear it.
- Those desserts must taste good. Thin tastes better.
- I’ll feel deprived if I don’t have a dessert. The only real deprivation is never being
thin. I’ve already spent so many years being fat due to eating desserts. I’m living my
life backward. I’m putting a piece of food before my body and my right to be thin
and healthy. Was I in paradise when I was eating desserts? No! I was fat and
miserable.
- I blew it by eating the French fries, so I stopped trying and ate everything . I was
very bad! I didn’t blow it, though; I had a break in control. Everyone makes mistakes
when learning a new skill. I contain the mistakes and move forward.
- Everytime I see sweets, I crave them. A craving is a feeling—not a command.
Feelings pass. There’ll be no pain, no blood loss. I will not have to call 911 for the
rescue sqaud. Studies show that cravings pass in minutes. If I don’t negotiate or
equivocate, isn’t thin worth a few minutes?
It’s 3:30 P.M and you’re ready to pounce out of your cubicle and into the vending
machine or possibly hit up the local Starbucks for a mocha frappuccino—extra whip,
please! Or maybe it’s 8:30 at night and you find yourself raiding the cabinets (and
freezer) lusting for treats! Sound familiar? Probably too familiar; it seems these
cravings tend happen at the same time every day when your blood sugar drops
and you reach for the closest, most convenient ‘sugar-laden’ nibble. This fix may
provide instant gratification, but it can cause your blood sugar levels to spike sky
high and then collapse hours later. When you find yourself in similar situations, take
a moment to deconstruct your cravings by understanding their source. I work with
numerous clients who face strong cravings and it’s my job to help deconstruct and
modify their lifestyle so these cravings disappear. Cravings do not come from lack
of willpower or discipline and it’s important to understand that cravings are not a
sign of weakness on your part; they are simply a sign that the body needs
something to balance it out.
Yin / Yang. Your craving for a juicy burger may denote your need for more protein,
or perhaps your desire for sweets may signify a blood-sugar imbalance. If you listen
to your longings for foods, they present valuable clues about what your body really
needs. Take a look at your foods, shortfalls and behaviors that are the principal
causes of your cravings: is your diet too yin or too yang? Certain foods have more
yin qualities (expansive) such as refined white flour and sugar, while others have
more yang qualities (contractive) such as salt and animal proteins. Eating foods too
yin can cause you to crave yang foods and vise versa. For instance, eating a diet
too rich in protein (yang) may cause a craving for sweets (yin) and eating too many
raw foods (yin) may cause cravings for cooked and dehydrated foods. Your goal is
to find balance for your body through a happy medium between yin and yang.
Eat Less, More. It’s quite possible you experience cravings because you aren’t
eating enough at meals or your daily diet is missing valuable nutrients. If you are
lacking nutrients, your body knows it and is not afraid to let you know. For instance,
did you know that inadequate iron and magnesium levels may stimulate chocolate
cravings? Another culprit of cravings is low blood sugar. You can easily avoid this
by eating small, well-balanced meals every few hours and keeping your office,
home, car and gym bag stocked with healthy foods. Doing this will help keep your
blood sugar level stable and eliminate your body’s craving for a sugar fix.
Get Creative. Jazz up your meals and snacks; the same old, same old day in and
day out can be mundane and lead to cravings for sugary treats. Opt for whole grain
crackers with a mashed avocado and lime juice; mocha; a baked banana with
chilled almond butter; a smoothie (in a blender add ice, diced melon, Greek yogurt
and chia seeds) or try whipping up a nutty ball (in a blender add oats, almonds,
lemon juice, cinnamon, sesame seeds, brown rice syrup, poppy seeds and dates;
form a ball with your hands and refrigerate).
Reduce Processed Junk. I always suggest my clients reduce excess refined carbs
such as white flour pasta, donuts and pastries; instead reach for sprouted and
whole grain options. When we eat less ‘added’ sugar, our bodies are able to
maintain its natural balance and we are less likely to crave those processed sweets.
Furthermore, I recommend eliminating fat-free or low-fat foods, both of which
contain high amounts of sugar to compensate for the lack of flavor and fat; these
products will only set you up for a roller-coaster ride of sugar highs and lows. It’s
easy to reduce the processed foods in your diet by filling your plate with lean
proteins, healthy fats, whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
Sugar Leads to Cravings. It’s everywhere these days and you can’t hide from it.
Aside from ice cream and chocolate there is hidden sugar in canned foods, ketchup
and salad dressings! Don’t be tricked by the labeling on your packaged foods;
sugar can be disguised with terms such as corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup,
maltose, fructose and dextrose. Being aware of sugar content can help you avoid
high-sugar foods and kick the addiction. As an alternative, sweeten your dish with
dried fruit, raw honey, stevia, agave nectar, date sugar, brown rice syrup, birch
sugar (xylitol), birch syrup, maple syrup, or molasses. Furthermore, experiment with
tasty spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and coriander to naturally
sweeten your foods and reduce your cravings.
Non-Food Sources. Did you know cravings can stem from non-food sources? Food
is only one source of your energy; take a look at all areas of your life to find any
imbalances before addressing the foods you eat. Nutrition is simply one component
of the dynamic of a healthy lifestyle. Sweetness can come from many sources; slow
down and find it in non-food ways! Get more sleep and R n’ R; rest and relaxation
are key to toning down your cravings. When you’re sleepy or stressed, your body
will naturally crave energy in the form of sugar. Take a look at the foods you’re
eating, perhaps you eat too much or too little animal protein, which can certainly
lead to sugar cravings. I teach my clients to focus on self-care habits and tell them
to try simple activities such as walking, yoga or pilates.
Analyze all non-food sources in your life. Ask yourself if you’re bored, stressed,
upset, dissatisfied with a relationship, uninspired by your job or engaged in an
inappropriate exercise routine (too much/too little/wrong type). Are you feeding your
feelings and not your soul? Maybe you’re yearning for those childhood comfort
foods. But there’s no need to worry, it’s easy to modify your favorite recipes with
healthy alternatives! By simply changing up a few things, like trading in sour cream
for Greek yogurt and swapping those greasy, processed potato chips and fries for
homemade chips and fries using naturally sweet veggies like winter squash, beets,
onions, parsnips, yams, carrots, sweet potatoes and rutabaga, you can have the
flavor without the empty calories. Surprisingly, many of my clients’ cravings naturally
disappear when they add sweet veggies and fruits to their diet. Unlike processed
foods, natural sugar is found in fruit, beans, veggies and grains. These also
contain a variety of proteins, enzymes, minerals and vitamins. The sugars in these
foods are digested differently than the empty calories of white sugar in many
processed foods. Furthermore, their high fiber content allows for slower absorption,
which ensures you will not get the sugar rush and that you would from a candy bar.
Intentions / Reflections. I encourage my clients to begin each day by writing down
morning intentions and end it with reflections on what they’ve consumed: how many
whole grains, veggies and fruits, how much protein you ate, and jot down how you
felt before and afterwards in terms of cravings, mood, energy and digestion. This
food-mood journaling encourages you to look for associations between what you
consume and how you feel immediately after eating and hours later.
Overall, it’s important to understand that cravings are not ‘bad’ and we are not ‘bad’
for experiencing them. Every one of us is incredibly different; a lifestyle and diet
that works for one person will not necessarily work for another. For overall
satisfaction, we need to tailor our way of life to our unique needs. This includes
factoring in foods, relationships, exercise and anything else of importance to you.
Listen to your longings for food, they carry valuable clues about what your body
really needs. Remember to relax and let yourself enjoy a treat every once in awhile-

People ask me everyday what was the
strongest product that I have taken to lose
weight the fastest. I took Prothinspo's
Hydroxylim/ Diet Slim...I chose this product
because of two studies.... The first studied
showed a more rapid and effective weight
loss than other diet products.This study set
out to determine the efficacy of a
calcium/potassium salt of 60% HCA extract
from Garcinia cambogia alone and in
combination with niacin-bound chromium
and a standardized Gymnema Sylvestre
Extract on weight-loss parameters in
human volunteers. I know blah blah, but In
a double-blind fashion, 60 moderately
obese individuals were randomly assigned
to three groups.
Group 1 received just calcium/potassium
salt of 60% HCA extract from Garcinia
cambogia.
Group 2 received the Garcinia cambogia
extract, chromium polynicotinate, and
Gymnema sylvestre extract.
Group 3 received a placebo. All subjects
received a 2000 kcal/day diet, participated
in supervised walking five times per week,
and took their assigned test supplements 3
times daily, 30 to 60 minutes before meals.
Test measurements were then performed
throughout the study, evaluating changes in
bodyweight, body mass index (BMI),
appetite, blood lipids, and markers of fat
oxidation.
After 8 weeks, Group 1 lost an average of
10 pounds, Group 2 lost 12.54 pounds, and
the placebo group lost 3.53 pounds. At 8
weeks, both Group 1 and 2 were found to
have lost significantly more weight than the
placebo group. A reduction in appetite was
also demonstrated in both Group 1 and 2. In
addition, both Group 1 and 2 showed a
significant increase in indicators of fat
breakdown. It was concluded that
supplementation with the combination of (-)
– hydroxycitric acid (HCA-SX), niacin-bound
chromium, and Gymnema Sylvestre Extract
can help people with weight management.
Very Cool Huh? So there is more...
The next study was an 8 week study....In
this 8-week, randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled human trial, 30
moderately obese subjects were divided
into three groups. Group 1 received just the
calcium/potassium salt of 60% HCA extract
from Garcinia cambogia. Group 2 received
Garcinia cambogia extract, chromium
polynicotinate, and Gymnema sylvestre
extract. Group 3 received a placebo. All
subjects were placed on a 2000 kcal/day
diet; ingested the assigned test
supplements 3 times daily, 30 to 60
minutes prior to meals; and participated in
supervised walking five times per week. At
the end of 8 weeks, Group 1 lost, on
average, 12.1 pounds. Group 2 lost, on
average, 14.99 pounds. Group 3 lost, on
average, 3.06 pounds. At the end of the
study period, weight-loss values in both
Group 1 and Group 2 were significantly
greater than in the placebo group.
Moreover, the placebo group showed a
slight increase in food consumption, while
the HCA groups both showed a significant
reduction in appetite compared to placebo.
Based on the results from this study, it was
concluded that the unique HCA extract
used in this trial, either alone or in
combination with Gymnema Sylvestre
Extract and niacin-bound chromium, is
effective in helping control appetite,
increase fat oxidation, and promote weight
loss.

showed a more rapid and effective weight
loss than other diet products.This study set
out to determine the efficacy of a
calcium/potassium salt of 60% HCA extract
from Garcinia cambogia alone and in
combination with niacin-bound chromium
and a standardized Gymnema Sylvestre
Extract on weight-loss parameters in
human volunteers. I know blah blah, but In
a double-blind fashion, 60 moderately
obese individuals were randomly assigned
to three groups.
Group 1 received just calcium/potassium
salt of 60% HCA extract from Garcinia
cambogia.
Group 2 received the Garcinia cambogia
extract, chromium polynicotinate, and
Gymnema sylvestre extract.
Group 3 received a placebo. All subjects
received a 2000 kcal/day diet, participated
in supervised walking five times per week,
and took their assigned test supplements 3
times daily, 30 to 60 minutes before meals.
Test measurements were then performed
throughout the study, evaluating changes in
bodyweight, body mass index (BMI),
appetite, blood lipids, and markers of fat
oxidation.
After 8 weeks, Group 1 lost an average of
10 pounds, Group 2 lost 12.54 pounds, and
the placebo group lost 3.53 pounds. At 8
weeks, both Group 1 and 2 were found to
have lost significantly more weight than the
placebo group. A reduction in appetite was
also demonstrated in both Group 1 and 2. In
addition, both Group 1 and 2 showed a
significant increase in indicators of fat
breakdown. It was concluded that
supplementation with the combination of (-)
– hydroxycitric acid (HCA-SX), niacin-bound
chromium, and Gymnema Sylvestre Extract
can help people with weight management.
Very Cool Huh? So there is more...
The next study was an 8 week study....In
this 8-week, randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled human trial, 30
moderately obese subjects were divided
into three groups. Group 1 received just the
calcium/potassium salt of 60% HCA extract
from Garcinia cambogia. Group 2 received
Garcinia cambogia extract, chromium
polynicotinate, and Gymnema sylvestre
extract. Group 3 received a placebo. All
subjects were placed on a 2000 kcal/day
diet; ingested the assigned test
supplements 3 times daily, 30 to 60
minutes prior to meals; and participated in
supervised walking five times per week. At
the end of 8 weeks, Group 1 lost, on
average, 12.1 pounds. Group 2 lost, on
average, 14.99 pounds. Group 3 lost, on
average, 3.06 pounds. At the end of the
study period, weight-loss values in both
Group 1 and Group 2 were significantly
greater than in the placebo group.
Moreover, the placebo group showed a
slight increase in food consumption, while
the HCA groups both showed a significant
reduction in appetite compared to placebo.
Based on the results from this study, it was
concluded that the unique HCA extract
used in this trial, either alone or in
combination with Gymnema Sylvestre
Extract and niacin-bound chromium, is
effective in helping control appetite,
increase fat oxidation, and promote weight
loss.
