So much has been said and written about super foods that it's getting a little Diet Crazy. In actuality, ALL natural foods can be considered super foods. This is Diet Bites's short list of healthy foods to include in any diet plan:

Proteins, Beans & Meat Group: All lean meats with visible fat and skin removed; limit red meats and eat fish 2-3 times per week for that oh-so-important dose of Omega 3's. Also include the following foods in the diet: peanut butter, nuts, seeds, eggs and beans. As a note for eggs, the current recommendation is 1 egg per day and that includes eggs that have been used to prepare the foods included in the diet throughout the day. The white of the egg is cholesterol-free and can be enjoyed freely. It's the yolk that holds the cholesterol - and that's no yolk!

Grain Group: Opt for whole grains whenever possible. Foods to include in the daily diet include: oats, whole grain cereals, whole grain breads, brown and white rice, whole grain pasta, and tortillas.

Vegetable Group: Oh my - a lot of great super foods to be found in this Food Group. The downside is that there are many individuals who just don't like their vegetables OR who prefer to drown them in butter, cream sauces, and cheese. Trust us - the less butter, margarine and cheese that the dieter consumes, the less will be desired over time. There's nothing quite as tasty as the pure and simple goodness of vegetables prepared in their natural state. Diet Bites short list of vegetables to include in the daily diet are: both yellow and orange vegetables, a few cups of leafy vegetables - and most are extremely low in calories making them a dieter's delight! We also recommend that the diet include a substantial amount of raw vegetables. Experiencing that 'crunch' is not only fun, the raw vegetables are superb in assisting with dental health. Another great snippet is that vegetables in their raw state are extremely low in calories. Example: Lettuce - most varieties contain about 5 calories per cup, chopped.

Fruit Group: There are times when the body craves a particular food, including fruit - and at times, we'll get on a 'Food Kick'. We may eat bananas until they run out of our ears, but it keeps the appetite curious when we toss something new into the Diet Formula. Aim to enjoy ALL types of fruit, ensuring that citrus fruit is also a part of your daily diet. Citrus is fantastic for building immunity. And when one is on a diet, the last thing they need is to fall ill.

Dairy Group: Skim Milk, Low Fat Cheese, Low Fat Yogurt, Low Fat Cottage Cheese, Reduced Fat Sour Cream, Light Cream Cheese; take note that many low fat dairy products contain more calcium benefits than their regular counterparts.
