The boot camp tip of the week will go over the Abs Diet Power of 12. These 12 superfoods should make up a large part of  your diet. Here are a few guidelines:
– Incoporporate 2 to 3 of these foods into each of your 3 major meals and at leas 1 of them into your 3 snacks.
– Try to mix up and change up your food at every meal to get a combination of protien, carbs, and fat.
– Make sure you are eating some protein with every snack

1. Almonds and other nuts – These help build muscle and fight cravings. Eating these will help fight against obesity, heart disease, muscle loss, wrinkles, cancer, high blood pressure. They are high in protein and good fats.
Tips for getting more – Add chopped nuts into peanut butter, toss some on cereal, yorgurt, or an omlet.

2. Beans and Legumes – These help build muscle, help burn fat, and also helps regulate digestion. They are high in fiber and have protein, iron, and folate. They help fight agaist obesity, colon cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure. The best beans for your diet are soybeans, pinto beans, chickpeas, navy beans, black beans, white beans, kidney beans, and lima bean.

5. Oatmeal – This helps boost energy, reduces cholesterol and maintains blood sugar levels. They are complex carbs (low glycemic) and high in fiber.  This helps fight again heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and obesity. I personally eat this every day. It should be a staple in your diet just like this boot suggests. Not only does it help with cravings but does help with energy as well. You can add a few things to help make the taste better.
Suggestions: frozen fruit, cinimum, peanut butter, soymilk or anything else that is healthy tha my help it taste better if taste is why you don’t eat Oatmeal.

6. Eggs – These build muscle and also help burn fat. They have protein, Vitamins B 12, and vitamin A. They help fight again obesity. The protein found in eggs have the highest “biological value” of protein – a measure of how wekk it supports your body’s protein need – of ANY FOOD.  Eggs again are a staple in my diet and they should be in yours.

7. Turkey and other lean meats – These help build lean muscle and also improve the immune system. They have protein, iron, zinc, creatine (beef), omega – 3 fatty acids (fish), vitamins B 6 (chicken and fish) and B 12, phoshorus and potassium. These help fight obesity and various diseases.

11. Extra – Protein Powder – builds muscle and burn fat. Helps fight against cancer. We recommend the AdvoCare Meal Replacement Shakes because weh have found them to be the most effective and are a very safe product. With so many products out there, we know what we are getting when we are getting the Advocare products. A save product that does what is is supposed to do.
