Clean Foods Superfoods Smart Carbs Diet Conclusion

As you can see, Superfoods that are recommended are high in fiber; are thermogenic; are low in saturated fat; contain many antioxidants, probiotics, vitamins, and minerals; are high in Omega 3 fats; and, above all, are very tasty. The Superfoods diet is also very close to Paleo in that processed food and wheat are not included. The Paleo diet doesn’t allow beans, oats, cheese and yogurt. However, I don’t think they are that bad for you; beans are full of antioxidants and they lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and yogurt has huge probiotic values and it’s an incredible addition to spinach- or cucumber-based salads. The latest dietary guidelines recommend we triple our current bean intake from 1 to 3 cups per week. Beans contain a lot of protein and fiber. Meat is digested fairly quickly, whereas beans are digested slowly, keeping you satisfied longer. Plus, beans are low in sugar, which prevents insulin in the bloodstream from spiking and causing hunger. When you substitute beans for meat in your diet, you also get the bonus of a decrease in saturated fat. These reasons are enough for me and my family to keep eating beans in any form!

The Superfoods cuisine is also very similar to the Mediterranean diet, although it excludes pasta, hard cheeses, smoked meats and gluten breads.

As you can notice from my dieting ideas, I went through several stages. First, I was sure that cycling daily is the thing that will 100% work and allow me to lose weight effortlessly. But when my palate changed because of the Superfoods I ate, I noticed that I didn’t need a “normal lunch” at all and certainly none of the planned junk food meals I dreamed of. As software techies would say, I went through several iterations of my diet idea and settled for the one that suits me the best. You’re free to stick with “cycling daily” idea if you want to keep a meat and potato lunch or a fast food lunch as part of your diet.
