What you should be eating A LOT of

If you can try and incorporate these into your daily life as much as possible your bod will thank you ten times over. I promise!
 

Nuts: almonds, pistachios and walnuts are the best. I love buying the sea salt and vinegar almonds at Sprouts. They have all different kinds so you don't get sick of the same thing.

Seeds: pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds or sesame seeds are all great choices. You can add them to your salads or eat them plain. They make the perfect snack. I always add sesame seeds to my scrambles or omelets. You gotta think outside the box to keep the variety going. I get bored very easily so I've begun to realize that some things (like adding seeds to eggs) that would normally sound weird and maybe even gross, may actually end up dancin on your palate. So I dare you to take a chance and experiment with the vast amount of possibilities God has given us.

Fruit: Kiwi, Apples, all berries, lemons and limes

Avocados: Try and add to anything you can such as salads, omelets, sandwiches, wherever you can

Quinoa: I am a huge carb person more so than sweets which is why I love quinoa and eat it often. You still get your “rice and carb” fix but it has triple the amount of protein and fiber. Eat the crap out of this. Don't forget to make it with chicken broth as opposed to water, gives it much more flavor. 

Beans: kidney, black and lentils

Fish: salmon, tuna, ahi, etc. Try replacing red meat or chicken dishes with fish at least twice a week.

Veggies: raw is always better but cooked is fine too. Kale, spinach, bok choy (who knew?), sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, beets, broccoli and onions are great choices. If you aren't a huge veggie person and have a hard time incorporating them into your daily meals, throwing them in your juices or smoothies is a great way to do so.

Eggs: try and eat eggs 3 times a week at least and mixing it up between egg whites and the whole egg is not a bad idea. Although only doing egg whites is not the way to go as you miss out on most of the health benefits the yolk provides.
