Everyone I talk to wants to lose weight it seems. From a professional perspective, more people I have seen want and need to lose the excess pounds they have gained throughout the years. This is an important health concern that so many need to consider.
While some people think they need to take the latest potion or pill, or follow the newest fad diet gimmick to lose and control their weight, the fact remains that food can be an important trigger in weight control. In fact, there are a few important foods (and at least one drink) that you can have every day as your own diet “miracle.” These four are just the beginning.
1. Oatmeal

Oatmeal, whether it is steel cut oats or quick oats, can help you control your weight through several different mechanisms. Oatmeal is considered a whole grain and contains a high concentration of soluble fiber. This fiber combines with the water in your digestive tract and keeps you feeling full, preventing you from continuously snacking. Oatmeal also helps to regulate your blood sugar, keeping it low and preventing excessive fat gain. The consumption of oatmeal may also speed up fat loss by encouraging stored body fat to be used as a fuel source. I recommend eating at least half a cup per day at breakfast.
2. Black-Eyed Peas
These tasty peas are a great addition to a salad or a rice dish. Personally, I like to use black-eyed peas as part of a Caribbean rice dish I make several times per week for myself. It is very nutritious and delicious, to be sure. These peas are considered legumes and contain generous amounts of fiber, protein, and nutrients. They keep blood sugar levels low and regulated, preventing you from craving sweets. The glycemic load for black-eyed peas is quite low, so you will not gain weight by eating them frequently. And the improved insulin sensitivity triggered by this weight loss superfood will allow you to burn stored body fat much more efficiently. Try eating at least three-quarters of a cup of black-eyed peas two to three times per week.
3. Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C and beta-carotene. They are also lower on the glycemic scale and can regulate your blood sugar levels better than most other tubers. They taste great, and I enjoy eating them with added cinnamon and nutmeg. You can also make an amazing sweet potato pie that tastes like pumpkin pie, but without the added sugar or calories. I eat at least one sweet potato every day, and I have energy to burn, while staying quite lean.
4. Green Tea

Hi Katherine,I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.
I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
