Superfood Diet foods

There are so many diets, from Atkins to the South Beach diet, all claiming to be the ‘miracle diet’ which will help you shed the pounds. One reason people yo-yo in their weight is because they drastically cut down on their calorie intake which helps them lose weight to begin with, but as soon as they begin eating normally again, the weight piles back on.

This is why it is best to have a diet rich in healthy fruit and vegetables, especially superfoods. So rather than looking up low calorie recipes whilst playing , why not read about how you can incorporate superfoods into your diet? Superfoods got their name due to their high nutritional content. All superfoods boast antioxidants and lots of nutrients. Below are just a few of the best..

Black beans

Just a single cup of black beans contains 15 grams of protein and none of the saturated fat which is found in other protein sources such as red meat.
Why not try spiced black bean hummus or adding a few beans into your salad?


There’s nothing like a warm bowl of porridge, especially in the winter. A bowl of oats is packed with fibre which means it will keep you fuller for longer. Plus, half a cup of oats packs 4.6 grams of Resistant Starch, a healthy carb that boosts metabolism and burns fat.
Why not try making a bow of porridge and adding in a chopped apple, raspberries and some cinnamon?


A lot of people avoid foods like salmon and avocados because they think that they’re high in fat, but this is a myth. The fats you want to avoid are saturated fats found in crisps and red meats. Foods like avocados are packed full of healthy monounsaturated fats which keep you fuller for longer. This creamy fruit is also packed with plenty of fibre and protein.
Why not blitz an avocado with some milk, yoghurt and a banana for a super creamy and healthy breakfast smoothie?


Broccoli actually has cancer-fighting powers and a lot of fibre in less than 30 calories a serving,
Why not try having a broccoli salad with sesame dressing and cashews for lunch?
