Foods That Taste Good and are Healthy

Foods That Taste Good and are Healthy

1. Beans and Lentils

They are rich in protein, fiber, complex carbohydrates, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Beans are versatile and easy on your wallet.

2. Watermelon

One of the most popular fruits during the summer, watermelon "should be a staple in everyone’s diet. "It is fun to eat, sweet, juicy, low in calories, and chock full of vitamins C and A, potassium, and lycopene (cancer fighting agent and a powerful antioxidant). Because it is so high in water, it helps meet fluid needs."

3. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin B6. They are also a good source of vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, and magnesium. 

4. Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt 

Greek yogurt is an excellent source of calcium, potassium, protein, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12. Also, it contains probiotic cultures and is lower in lactose and has twice the protein content of regular yogurts. Greek yogurt contains twice as much protein than other yogurt choices.

Eating Clean Can Help You Lose Weight

Eating clean is a lifestyle that works with your body not against your body. When a person eats unhealthy foods, the body has a hard time digesting and storing the food as valuable nutrients. Eating clean allows your body to receive the macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, fats) it needs for daily function. Some people allow themselves "cheat" days/meals. A cheat day or meal allows them to eat something that is not normally consumed while eating clean such as donuts, fries, pizza, wine/beer. By allowing a cheat day/meal, you fell rewarded for your progress and commitment to eating clean.
