Avocados and Weight Loss |

| Avocado can play a role in a weight-loss diet if eaten in moderate amounts. While high in calories—at 48 calories per ounce, avocados are equivalent to skinless roast chicken breast—avocados help fight obesity because they boost satiety. Satiety is the feeling of fullness that signals us to stop eating and thus helps us control our calorie intake. Perhaps more interesting, research suggests that exercise burns monounsaturated fat more rapidly than saturated fat. This means that even though an avocado is high in monounsaturated fat, this fat will be burned more quickly than saturated fat. The body prefers to burn this fuel over the saturated fat found in meat and dairy. |

What is a “Super Food”? Well, the most important thing for everyone to know is that superfoods are easy to find in every local supermarket. They’re worth looking for! These nutritional powerhouse foods are loaded with nutrients crucial to a healthy, long life. If you can include a variety of them in your diet, everyday, we promise they will change your life! These foods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers. When you click on each superfood you’ll find information including a list of the primary nutrients that elevated them to superfood status. This is not meant to be a complete list of every single nutrient that food contains, but rather, a list of the high-profile nutrients that have shown health benefits and that are present in that food in sufficient quantity to make a difference. Many of the superfoods have “Sidekicks”. These are foods that are generally in the same category as the flagship superfood and offer a similar nutrient profile.
