JUNE 20, 2019 SO YOU NEED FIBER ?
There are vegetables that are loaded with fiber. One of these is broccoli. Broccoli is a superfood that is loaded in fiber. Since fiber is not digestible, it can’t be stored as fat in the body. The body burns calories while trying to break down fibre and then eventually removes it through waste. Broccoli is also a potent detoxifier and helps keep the digestive system healthy, strong and regular.
Another vegetable that has fiber is kale. Kale is a leafy green that is an antioxidant powerhouse. Kale is loaded in fiber which helps burn calories, makes the stomach feel full, removes excess waste and keeps the body regular. The problem with kale recently is that it has been added to the Dirty Dozen food list. Often touted for being highly nutritious, kale has joined the list of 11 other fruits and vegetables known to be “dirty,” according to an analysis by the Environmental Working Group.
Both of these have a lot of B12 and folate which is essential to the body’s needs to detoxify.

JUNE 19, 2019 GOOD FOODS
I like fish. I consume a lot of fish in a week I order it from www.vitalchocie.com I love salmon. Wild salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and is a lean protein. According to The Calorie Myth, it takes the body five to ten times more energy to digest proteins than carbs. About 30 per cent of calories we eat from protein are actually burned in digesting it.
I used to eat chicken, but it must be organic chicken Eating leaner cuts of chicken, like chicken breasts, helps the body burn calories. Surprisingly, it takes a lot of energy to digest chicken. Similar to wild salmon, we burn calories as we eat foods that require more energy to break them down.
So could I be a vegetarian or vegan I was a vegetarian during my college years. At that time I ate pasta ( which I rarely eat today unless gluten free from good companies ) I do recommend some individuals look at Eat Right for Your Blood Type by friend/colleague/writer Dr Peter D’Adamo.
