Superfoods have an abundance of macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients. These foods tend to be lower in calories and higher in fiber.

I recommend adding at least 1 serving per day of the following superfoods:

Proteins

  1. lean red meat (93% lean, top round, sirloin)
  2. salmon
  3. omega-3 eggs
  4. low-fat, plain yogurt (lactose-free if possible)
  5. protein supplement (milk protein isolates, whey protein isolates, or vegan protein sources

Fruits & Vegetables

  1. spinach
  2. tomatoes
  3. cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower)
  4. mixed berries
  5. oranges

Other Carbohydrates

  1. mixed beans
  2. quinoa
  3. whole oats

Good Fats

  1. mixed nuts
  2. avacados
  3. extra virgin olive oil
  4. fish oil
  5. flax seeds (ground)

Drinks/Other

  1. green tea
  2. liquid exercise drinks (quickly digested carbohydrates and protein)
  3. greens+ (vegetable concentrate supplement)

    I wanted to detox, but you told me that practicing a healthy diet makes for a better cleanse than any box of pills that I can buy at the store. I have been following your posts and taking all of the baby steps that you have encouraged. I started adding my superfoods too. I am losing weight! I feel great and I don’t even feel like I am dieting! You are right, Lo. Small changes do the trick and they do not make me feel frustrated the way that fad diets have in the past. You are the best!
