17 WHITE FOODSFOR A FLATSTOMACH
Debunking the White Food MythWhen it comes to blanket statements and nutrition rules, one of the most frequently
touted is the no white foods guideline. Born out of good intention, the basic premiseis to steer folks away from processed foods that have been stripped of bene cial
nutrients (e.g., ber, vitamins, minerals) and packed with heavily-re ned, high-glycemic
carbohydrates.
This list typically includes processed ours and the foods that are made with them:
breads, breakfast cereals, bagels, noodles and pasta, baked goods, crackers, etc.
This also includes consumer goods made with re ned sugars like table sugar and
high fructose corn syrup, which are seemingly ubiquitous. In fact, its estimated that Americans drink 22% of their total calories, much of that from beverages sweetened
with sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup.
Its no secret that an increased consumption of these food items is closely related to obesity
and various forms of chronic illness, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In fact,
numerous studies have linked consumption of these high-glycemic carbohydrates to obesity.(A, B) Whats more, in a 2004 epidemiological study, researchers analyzed nearly 90 years
worth of data, and they found, Increasing intakes of re ned carbohydrate concomitant withdecreasing intakes of ber paralleled the upward trend in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes
observed in the United States during the 20th century. (C)
While dietary fat, particularly saturated fat, has long been the scapegoat for increasing
rates of obesity and chronic disease, the tables are nally turning in the appropriate
direction. Dr. Frank Hu, Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology at Harvard, set out

to answer the question: Are re ned carbohydrates worse than saturated fat? (D) Dr.
Hus research led him to conclude that re ned carbohydrates are likely to cause even
greater metabolic damage than saturated fat, and the time has come to shift the
focus of the diet-heart paradigm away from restricted fat intake and toward reduced
consumption of re ned carbohydrates.
The #1 Worst Carb Ever (dont eat this)
At the link below, were going to let the cat out of the bag on what is undoubtedly
the #1 WORST carb EVER, and how the money-hungry food industry is conspiring
to sneak this nightmare carb into just about everything.
In the end, this extremely common carb wreaks havoc on your fat-storing
hormones in a MAJOR way, and has even been shown to hamper memory, slow
brain activity, and increase your risk of Alzheimers.
==> The #1 Worst Carb EVER (dont eat this)
With this in mind, the no white foods guideline is a good recommendation whenapplied appropriately. However, this rule can be taken too far, as not all white foods
are created equally. Too often, folks end up avoiding many natural, unprocessed white
foods that are loaded with health-promoting and fat- ghting nutrients. With that being
said, we share with you our top 17 WHITE
Foods for a Flat Stomach.
Caulifower
Cauli ower belongs to the family of cruciferousvegetables, which may have more fat-burning
and health-boosting bene ts than nearly any
other. While broccoli is arguably the most well-
known in the family, research is showing that
cauli ower is quickly moving to the head of the
class due to its wide-ranging health bene ts.

Cruciferous vegetables are high in ber, and simply put, ber is a nutrition all-star,
as it promotes satiety, a healthy digestive tract, regularity, cardiovascular health, and
many other health and body composition bene ts. In fact, researchers have linked
low ber intakes to increased risk for diabetes and obesity. (1, 2) Whats more, scientists
continuously demonstrate that diets higher in ber help with weight loss and weightmanagement. (3)
One unique bene t of cruciferous vegetables is their ability to ght off dietary and
environmental estrogensto which one may be exposed to through soy, plastics, and
pesticidesvia a special phytonutrient called indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which is produced
by the enzymatic breakdown of the glucosinolates found in cauli ower and other
cruciferous vegetables. (4) Environmental estrogens have also been linked to high levels
of belly fat; thus, by consuming more cruciferous vegetables like cauli ower one canght off belly fat stores at the same time. (5)
Cauli ower is an excellent source of vitamin K, which is considered to be a hallmark
anti-in ammatory nutrient as it directly regulates the in ammatory response. This,
combined with the anti-in ammatory glucosinolates, makes cauli ower an in ammation-
ghting powerhouse. In fact, research is currently being conducted to help shed light
on the anti-in ammatory bene ts of cruciferous vegetables in relation to in ammatory-
related conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome.
A recent study published in the renowned journal Nature Immunology discovered that
speci c proteins in cruciferous vegetables may play an essential role in gut health by
boosting immune cell production and ultimately combating bacterial infections, chronic
in ammation, and potentially even bowel cancer. (6) Whats more, these same immune
cells may also help lower food sensitivities and control obesity.

Do you POOP enough?
Please excuse the somewhat personal nature of this excerpt, but the information we
are about to share below is extremely important for both you and your digestive health.
You may not think that youre constipated, but in reality, it is VERY likely that you ARE.
You see, constipation is not simply not being able to go, or only eliminating once
a week...thats severe constipation. The truth is, a healthy digestive system should
be eliminating after every meal.
Are you moving your bowels several times a day, once for every meal you eat? Ifnot, you are suffering from constipation, which will cause a build up of toxins and
undigested, rotten, putrid food in your digestive system.
This can make it much harder for you to lose fat while also wreaking havoc on your
digestive system and overall health...really bad stuff. Just imagine all that rotted,
disgusting food sitting there in your digestive system...yuck!
Fortunately, this can be corrected rather quickly, with a few simple steps:
==> 4 tips for healthy digestion and regular bowel movements
Cruciferous vegetables have also been shown through research to boast antioxidant
and anti-aging properties. In fact, one study funded by the National Cancer Institute
showed that participants who consumed 1 - 2 cups of cruciferous vegetables a day
reduced their oxidative stress by 22% in just 3 weeks. (7)
With its mild, slightly nutty avor, cauli ower can be enjoyed in a number of ways, as it
can be eaten raw, roasted, steamed, sauted, stir-fried, or boiled. Its also increasingly
common to see cauli ower being used as a replacement for pizza crusts, rice, and
mashed potatoes. A great recipe idea is to add one teaspoon of turmeric to roasted,
sauted, or mashed cauli ower, as one study found that the combination of curcumin,

an active ingredient in the spice turmeric, and the glucosinolates found in cauli ower
may help prevent prostate cancer by inhibiting growth of cancerous cells. (8)
Onions
A member of the Allium family of vegetables, onions are rich in sulfur-containingcompounds called sul des, avonols, and quercetin, which combine to provide many
of onions far-reaching health-promoting effects. While the Egyptians worshipped the
onions many layers as a symbol of eternity, researchers are beginning to laud this
member of the Allium family for its cardiovascular bene ts, which include reducing blood
pressure and lowering blood cholesterol levels.
As mentioned, onions are a standout source of the nutrient quercetin. In fact,
researchers at Wageningen Agricultural University showed that the absorption ofquercetin from onions is twice that from tea and more than three times that from apples. (9)
Further research at the Agricultural University of Wageningen showed that daily
consumption of onions may result in increased accumulation of quercetin in the blood.
Of note, studies have shown that quercetin can reduce blood pressure in individuals
with high blood pressure. (10) Whats more, researchers found that daily quercetin-
rich supplementation from onion peel extract resulted in improved blood cholesterol
pro les (i.e., signi cantly reduced total and LDL cholesterol), blood pressure, and bloodglucose levels, which suggests a bene cial role as a preventative measure against
cardiovascular risk. (11)
Signi cant research has also been conducted on the effects of onion consumption
on blood sugar and insulin management. The sul des in onions have been linked to
improved weight loss and blood sugar regulation in mice. (12) Additional researchers
have found similar improvements in blood sugar and blood cholesterol when
administering onion powder to mice. (13)
Onions store their carbohydrates in the form of fructans, which are an increasingly
popular type of carbohydrates known for their prebiotic effects. Fructans serve as
a substrate, or food, for the healthy bacteria that resides in the ora of the gut,
increasing overall GI tract health. Thus, onions may offer useful probiotic effects,
including the improvement of the intestinal ora, improved absorption of calcium and
magnesium, and other health bene ts.

Tip: Studies suggest that heating foods like onions and garlic may have a negative
effect on their sul des, which could potentially reduce their bene cial health properties.
However, allowing onions and garlic to sit for 10 minutes (after slicing, dicing, crushing,
etc.) before cooking preserves the compounds and provides the most health bene ts. (14)
GarlicLike onions, garlic is also a member
of the Allium family, and as a result,
you can expect many of the very same
health bene ts. Affectionately referred
to as the stinking rose, garlic is rich in
avonols and sul des, of which the best
known is allicin.
Technically, allicin is not contained
in fresh garlic. Rather, crushing or
chopping garlic results in the release of
an enzyme called allinase that catalyzes
the formation of allicin, which has been
touted by some scientists as the worlds most potent antioxidant. Because cooking
inactivates the allinase enzyme, its recommended to let garlic sit for 10 minutes afterchopping or crushing (see Tip above).
Research on garlic has demonstrated myriad cardiovascular bene ts, including
improved blood cholesterol (i.e., reduced total and LDL cholesterol) and blood pressure.(15, 16) Additionally, research suggests that garlic may play a role in suppressing
atherosclerosis (i.e., hardening of the arteries). (17)
Also of note, garlic contains a sul de called 1,2-vinyldithiin (1,2-DT), which has longbeen recognized for its anti-in ammatory properties. Recently, researchers have
discovered that 1,2-DT can inhibit adipogenesis (i.e., the formation of new fat cells) and
in ammation associated with fat accumulation. In fact, based on their experiment, the
researchers concluded that 1,2-DT has antiadipogenic and antiin ammatory actions
and may be a novel, antiobesity nutraceutical. (18)

Recently, researchers at the University of Buffalo (UB) found that consumption of
mushrooms may offer additional health and body composition bene ts by improving
blood sugar management. Speci cally, the scientists found that consuming mushrooms
alongside rapidly-digesting carbohydrates resulted in signi cantly improved blood sugar
responses, insulin concentrations, and satiety. (22)
According to co-author Peter Horvath, associate professor in the Department of
Exercise and Nutrition Science at UB, The results indicate that the consumption
of mushrooms could be useful in regulating glucose levels. This alone may bene t
individuals attempting to lose weight and exercise longer.
Turnips
Turnips are considered root vegetables, which are plant roots that are consumed asvegetables. Other root vegetables include beets, rutabaga (i.e., yellow turnips), carrots,
celeriac, daikon, parsnip, jicama, and radishes.
Turnips are a good source of ber, providing over 2 grams (and only 5 total grams of
carbohydrates and 22 total calories) in a 3 -ounce cooked serving. They are also an
excellent source of vitamin C, which functions in the body as an antioxidant. Studies
indicate that higher intakes of vitamin C from either diet or supplements are associated
with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including coronary heart diseaseand stroke. (23)
Like cauli ower, turnips belong to the family of cruciferous vegetables, and they contain
numerous glucosinolates. (24) In fact, amongst commonly eaten cruciferous vegetables,
turnips are behind only Brussels sprouts in their total glucosinolates content. Along with
their glucosinolates, turnips bring fantastic health bene ts. The glucosinolates in turnips
are phytonutrients that can be converted into isothiocyanates (ITCs), which possess
signi cant health-promoting properties.
Bonus: Turnip greens, which arent a white food per se, are the tops to the turnip
root. Turnip greens belong to the cruciferous vegetable family also, and as a result,
you can enjoy many of the same health bene ts posited above vis--vis glucosinolates
found in cauli ower. Whats more, turnip greens are loaded with vitamin K, and they
also contain some omega-3 fatty acids, which means they provide two hallmark anti-
in ammatory nutrients.

ParsnipsLike turnips, parsnips are root vegetables that belong to the cruciferous family. Parsnips,
which are often thought of as a white carrot, are rich in a multitude of vitamins, as they
are a good source of the following:
Vitamin K
Vitamin C
Folate
Pantothenic acid
Vitamin E
Whats more, parsnips contain healthy levels of the following minerals:
Potassium
Iron
Calcium
Copper
Manganese
Phosphorus
Parsnips are an excellent source of both soluble and insoluble bers, providing 5grams per 100-gram portion. Adequate dietary ber is necessary to help control blood
cholesterol levels, manage blood sugar and insulin concentrations, maintain regularity,
increase satiety, and optimally manage body weight.
Parsnips contain numerous polyacetyline antioxidants, including falcarinol, falcarinodiol,
panaxydiol and methyl-falcarindiol. Polyacetylines have been shown in numerous
studies to have anti-in ammatory and anti-bacterial properties. (25)
Also of note, parsnips were highly regarded in ancient Roman times, and Pliny wrote
about them extensively. In fact, parsnips were believed to be an aphrodisiac. (26)

BananasTypically youll see bananas on a list
of foods not to eat when it comes to fat
loss. However, if you banish this fruit,
you may be missing out on some veryimportant fat-burning nutrients.
In addition to being a rich source of
potassium, bananas are also a very
good source of the following essential
nutrients:
Vitamin B6 Vitamin C
Fiber
Manganese
Biotin
Copper
Of particular note, bananas are one of the best dietary sources of resistant starch, which
is a special type of carbohydrate that is not digested by the human body. (27)
Resistantstarch is not technically classi ed as a ber, although many researchers now believe
that it should be. Thus, with nearly 5 grams of resistant starch per banana, the net (i.e.,
usable) carbohydrate content is actually considerably lower than one may think.
Multiple studies have shown that naturally-occurring resistant starch intake increases
satiety and reduces food intake both acutely and in the long-term. (28, 29) Research
has also shown that consumption of resistant starch increases fat oxidation (i.e., fat
burning). (30)
Resistant starch has also been shown to decrease fat storage in adipocytes(i.e., fat cells) and improve insulin sensitivity. (31)

Do THIS twice daily to burn BELLY FLAB
Exciting news to share with you today... Theres a new way to burn belly fat that
has been shown in more than a DOZEN research studies to help you burn fat andslim your waist at an accelerated rate.
In fact, one breakthrough study showed that those who performed this belly-
burning trick just twice daily burned 400% more fat than those who didnt. Another
study published in the Journal of International Medical Research showed that
those using this powerful ab-burning trick lost 20% of their body fat in just 12
weeks. And get this... the trick takes less than a minute to perform!
Would you like to burn 400% more fat by using this quick, belly-busting trick just
twice daily? We show you exactly how to do it here:
==> Do THIS twice daily to burn BELLY FLAB (takes less than 1 min)
Furthermore, researchers speculate that resistant starch may also increase the thermic
effect of feeding, which means that it boosts the metabolism, as well as promote weightloss and preserve fat free mass. (32)
Thus, despite a bad rap, bananas clearly have some fat-burning potential.
PotatoesLike bananas, white potatoes seem to get a bad rap. Pertinent to the conversation,
however, is to distinguish whole, unprocessed potatoes from potato-based foods, like
potato chips, French fries, and restaurant preparations of mashed potatoes and loadedbaked potatoes, which are typically a far cry from the humble spud.
Like bananas, potatoes contain resistant starch; in fact, raw potato starch, which
contains 8 grams of resistant starch per tablespoon, can be found at your local health
food store. As mentioned above, researchers found that supplementing the diet with 30
http://fatsthatfightfat.com/daily-trick/?SID=17WF_rpthttp://fatsthatfightfat.com/daily-trick/?SID=17WF_rpt -
8/9/2019 17 White Foods for a Flat Stomach
16/39
16
grams per day of resistant starch (like that from potato starch) signi cantly improves
insulin sensitivity. (31) Additional research has found that adding as little as 5 grams of
resistant starch to a mixed meal signi cantly increases fat oxidation (i.e., fat burning)
and could decrease fat accumulation in the long term. (30)
Beyond resistant starch, potatoes are a nutrient-dense food, as a single medium potato
contains 4 grams of ber, 4 grams of protein, a variety of different phytonutrients that
have antioxidant activity, and 10 different vitamins and minerals, including the following:
Vitamin B6
Copper
Potassium
Vitamin C Manganese
Phosphorus
Niacin
Pantothenic acid
When it comes to the battle of the bulge, one of the more important factors to consider
is satiety, which refers to the feeling or state of being sated, or satis ed. Thus, when
trying to control calories (i.e., negative energy balance), its important to choose foodsthat satisfy the appetite (i.e., high satiety). No one likes to be hungry, which is all too
common when trying to eat less, and certainly, no one likes to be around a hangry
individual. [Note: Hangry is a slang term that is used to describe the state of being angry
as a result of hunger.]
Some authors refer to satiety as the new diet weapon. Knowing the importance of
feeling full, Dr. Susanna Holt and her team of researchers at the University of Sydney
set out to establish a satiety index of common foods. (33)
In the study, the researchers fedhuman subjects xed-calorie portions of thirty-eight different foods, and subsequently
recorded the subjects perceived hunger following each feeding.
The results of the study, like many similar studies, indicate that satiety is most strongly
related to the weight of the food consumed. In other words, the foods that weigh the
most satisfy hunger best, regardless of the number of calories they contain.

Of pertinence to this conversation, boiled potatoes scored highest on Holts satiety index,
over 40% higher than any other food tested. In addition, Holt and her colleagues found
that higher amounts of certain nutrients, such as protein, dietary ber, and water content,
also correlated positively with satiety scores.
When purchasing potatoes, it may be a good idea to opt for organic when possible.
Each year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) produces the Shoppers Guide
to Pesticides in an effort to reduce consumers exposures to pesticides as much as
possible. The EWG releases a list called the Dirty Dozen, which contains the fruits
and vegetables with the highest pesticide residues. Potatoes fall on the EWGs Dirty
Dozen list, as they contain more pesticides by weight than any other food.
ApplesIf one only looks at the nutrition facts of an apple, s/he may be underwhelmed. While
apples are a very good source of ber, including both soluble and insoluble pectin,
and vitamin C, they do not contain signi cant amounts of other vitamins and minerals.
However and thats a big howeverwhat the apple lacks in those nutrients, it more
than makes up for in its polyphenol content, including the following:
Flavonols, including quercetin (please
see section on Onions) Catechins, including epicatechin
Anthocyanins (in red-skinned apples)
Chlorogenic acid
Phloridizin and more
Research on the polyphenols in apples has
demonstrated some serious bene ts in terms
of blood sugar management and carbohydratemetabolism:
Quercetin has been shown to inhibit enzymes like alpha-amylase and alpha-
glucosidase, which are responsible for breaking down carbohydrates into
absorbable sugars. In essence, quercetin is a natural carb blocker, and it has
been shown to effectively suppress blood sugar after a meal (34) ;

promoting nutrients are located in the skin of the apple, it may be wise to opt for organic
when possible.
Garbanzo Beans
Garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, are a nutrient-dense superstar as they are jam-packed with the following nutrients:
Molybdenum
Manganese
Folate
Copper
Phosphorus
Iron Zinc
Further, garbanzo beans are rich in a variety of phytonutrients, including quercetin,
kaempferol, myricetin, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and vanillic acid, which
all serve to function as antioxidants and may have anti-in ammatory properties. Whats
more, garbanzo beans are a good plant-based source of protein, and they provide 12
grams of ber per 1-cup serving.
The majority of the ber is insoluble, which can be fermented by the bene cial bacteria
in the gut to produce short-chain fatty acids (SFCAs). SFCAs go on to be metabolized
by other cells in the body (e.g., intestinal, liver), and SFCAs may reduce the risk of
developing gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and blood
cholesterol. (39)
As mentioned previously, dietary ber and protein are two nutrients that researchers
have found to be positively associated with satiety, or feelings of fullness. Notsurprisingly, researchers found that when human subjects supplemented their regular
diet with chickpeas daily, they reported signi cant improvements in satiety, appetite,
meal satisfaction, and bowel function. Participants were also found to decrease
consumption of snack foods and overall calorie intake. (40)
Garbanzo beans belong to a family of plant-based foods called pulses, which are part
-
8/9/2019 17 White Foods for a Flat Stomach
20/39
20
of the legume family. Several studies have demonstrated signi cant decreases in body
weight when pulses are added to a reduced-calorie diet. As a matter of fact, researchers
from Purdue University found that subjects who added just 3 cups per week of pulses
to their reduced-calorie diet lost over twice as much weight as the control group, who
consumed the same number of calories. After 6 weeks, the legume-eating group hadlost over three times as much weight as the control group. (41)
Whats more, an increase in the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), a hormone secreted
in the gut in response to protein and fat intake that helps to slow gastric emptying and
increase satiety, has been reported following bean consumption. (42) Thus, in addition to
their high protein and ber content, dietary pulses may positively in uence appetite by
stimulating satiety centers in the brain.
Plain Organic Greek YogurtWhen it comes to ghting the battle of the bulge, there is likely not a more important
nutrient than protein. As a matter of fact, researchers suggest that an increased protein
intake may be one of the single most important dietary and lifestyle changes that one
can make as part of an effective weight loss strategy.
Speci cally, there are multiple potential bene cial outcomes associated with an
increased protein intake: (43)
1. Increased satiety: Protein-rich foods induce a greater sense of satisfaction than
fat- or carbohydrate-rich foods, and they may even decrease energy intake in
subsequent meals;
2. Increased thermogenesis: Dietary
protein exerts a signi cantly
higher thermic effect than fats or
carbohydrates, and high-protein dietshave continuously been shown to
boost the metabolism (i.e., increase
energy expenditure); and
3. Maintenance or building of fat free
mass (FFM) and preservation of
metabolic rate: High-protein diets have
-
8/9/2019 17 White Foods for a Flat Stomach
21/39
21
continuously been shown to preserve FFM when dieting for fat loss, and they have
also been shown to be necessary for the preservation of metabolic rate, which is
frequently compromised as a result of dieting. (44)
Clearly then, one of the single most important dietary factors that you can do to supportyour fat loss goals is boost your protein intake, and for those reasons, plain Greek
yogurt makes the list of fat- ghting foods. Greek yogurt contains more than double the
protein of regular yogurt and only about one-third the amount of sugar.

loss strategies our clients have EVER tried, and its also the easiest to implement.
Literally, just 30 seconds a day:

Whats more, authentic strained Greek yogurt is rich in multiple sources of probiotics.
Research indicates that the gut ora (i.e., the bacterial ecosystem) of obese folks differs
signi cantly from that of thin people. (45) Along these lines, recent research published in
the British Journal of Nutrition suggests that certain probiotics from the Lactobacillus
family of bacteria, which are prominent in Greek yogurt, may help folks lose weight andkeep it off. (46)
When choosing a Greek yogurt, its best to opt for plain versions, as fruit- avored
varieties have over three times as much added sugar. Instead, adding some fresh fruit
(e.g., berries) will provide a nutrient-dense source of ber, vitamins, antioxidants, and
polyphenols.

22/39
22
In addition, it may be best to opt for organic sources of Greek yogurt and other forms
of dairy whenever possible, as organic dairy has a signi cantly different fatty acid
pro le when compared to conventional dairy. Speci cally, studies comparing organic to
conventional dairy have reported that organic contains: (47)
25% fewer omega-6 fatty acids, which are pro-in ammatory;
62% more omega-3 fatty acids, which are anti-in ammatory;
2.5 times lower omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio, which is much closer to
optimal;
32% more EPA and 19% more DHA, which are two omega-3 fatty acids crucial
for nervous system function, cardiovascular health, pain management, hormonal
regulation, body composition, feelings of well being, and more; and
18% more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been shown to reduce bodyfat, increase lean body mass, and improve body composition. (48)
Cottage CheeseCottage cheese goes hand-in-hand with the discussion of Greek yogurt. Cottage cheese
packs a whopping 28 grams of protein per single cup, and it is also a good source of
calcium, ribo avin, vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus.
Cottage cheese is rich in casein protein, which is known as a slow-digesting protein. Inessence, casein forms a gel-like substance in the stomach, which makes it a very ef cient
supplier of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. In fact, studies show that levels of
amino acids remain elevated upwards of 5 hours after ingestion of casein protein. (49)
While whey, a fast-digesting protein, is often thought of as the gold standard of
protein supplements, some studies suggest that caseinor a combination of whey and
caseinmay provide greater muscle building and recovery bene ts. In animal studies,
scientists have found that, compared to whey, casein protein provides a more sustainedanabolic effect. (50)
Recent research in humans demonstrated that a blend of whey and casein is superior
to whey protein alone after resistance training to promote muscle protein synthesis and
recovery. (51) Furthermore, scientists recently demonstrated that casein protein provides
muscle recovery bene ts during sleep when consumed before bed. (52)

One cup of cottage cheese also packs a healthy punch of branched-chain amino acids
(BCAAs), including over 2 grams of leucine, which is essential to muscle health.
BCAAs are crucial to exercise performance, muscle recovery, and maintaining blood
sugar levels, and the amino acid leucine is considered to be the anabolic trigger for
muscle recovery and growth following exercise. (53)
ChickenChicken is best known for its high protein content, and at 35 grams of protein per
4-ounce (cooked) portion, it is indeed an excellent source. As a result, it helps boost
the metabolism, increase satiety, and support the maintenance of calorie-burning lean
body mass. Lean body mass is more metabolically active than body fat, and generally
speaking, metabolic rate is proportionate to lean body mass. (54)
In addition to its rich protein content, chicken is also a very good source of numerous
other vitamins and minerals that are critical to overall health and metabolism, including:
Vitamin B3
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B12
Pantothenic acid
Selenium Phosphorus
Choline
Zinc
Copper
Magnesium
Iron
Clearly, chicken provides broad nutrient support. Like cottage cheese, chicken is also anexcellent source of the amino acid leucine. A cooked 4-ounce portion of chicken breast
provides over 2 grams of leucine, which is the threshold at which protein synthesis is
restored, according to researchers at the University of Illinois.
In fact, high-leucine diets (a minimum of 2 grams of leucine per meal) led to greater
weight loss, greater fat loss, and better preservation of lean body mass. Whats more,

the researchers found that the high-leucine diets also resulted in better blood sugar
control. (55, 56)
White Fish
There are many varieties of white sh, and according to Cooking Light magazine, theycan be separated into three different categories based on their color, texture, and fat
content: (57)
White, lean, and rm: Alaska pollock, cat sh, grouper, haddock, Paci c cod,
Paci c halibut, Paci c rock sh, Paci c sole, striped bass, sword sh;
White, lean, and aky: Atlantic croaker, black sea bass, branzino, ounder,
rainbow smelt, red snapper, tilapia, rainbow trout, whiting; and
White, rm, and oil-rich: Atlantic shad, albacore tuna, California white seabass, Chilean sea bass, cobia, lake trout, lake white sh, Paci c escolar, Paci c
sable sh, white sturgeon.
As noted, the majority of white sh are very lean sources of metabolism-boosting,
appetite-satiating protein. In fact, one of the bene ts of consuming these very lean
sources of protein is that they tend to be very low in environmental chemicals and
toxins. Many of the pollutants that are in rivers and oceans are oil-soluble, which means
that they accumulate in or on anything oily. As a result, lean white sh contain relativelylower traces of certain toxic residues than oily sh types.
With that being said, oil-rich white sh (e.g., shad, tuna, sea bass, cobia, etc.) are
fantastic sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These essential fatty acids,
which must be derived from dietary sources, play a signi cant role in metabolism and
body weight management.

Never eat this type of sh (EVER)
While weve been led to believe that sh is one of the healthiest food choices
around, what you probably didnt know is that there are 4 speci c types of sh -- allvery common -- that you should literally NEVER eat due to incredibly high levels
of contamination that can and WILL hammer the delicate cells of your body with
toxic in ammation...
In the end, this toxic in ammation build up contributes to achy joints, premature
aging of the skin (and less visible organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver),
dif culty shedding excess weight, cognitive decline, forgetfulness, feeling blue and
moody, and so much more...
Whatever you do, AVOID these 4 types of sh like the plague:
==> NEVER eat this type of sh (EVER)
Watch out!
For instance, researchers at the Kronos Longevity Research Institute in Phoenix,
Arizona, found that when subjects consumed four servings of fatty sh each week
along with sh oil daily, they signi cantly improved insulin sensitivity and markers of
in ammation, including C-reactive protein. (58) Obesity and insulin resistance are closely
related; in fact, a paper written by Kahn et al (59) on the topic has been cited over 2,000
times in peer-reviewed journals.
Researchers from Gettysburg College found that supplementation with sh oils, whichsupply the same types of omega-3 fatty acids found in the oil-rich white sh, for 6 weeks
signi cantly increased fat free mass and decreased fat mass. (60) Whats more, the
subjects also experienced increased metabolic rate and signi cantly decreased levels of
cortisol, a stress hormone associated with increased abdominal fat storage. (61)
In addition to being an excellent source of protein, white sh are also rich in a number

26
of vitamins and minerals, including a number of B vitamins such as niacin, which is
needed to promote healthy cells and to help eliminate toxins from the body, and vitamin
B6, which keeps the skin, nervous system, and red blood cells healthy. White sh also
contains several essential minerals such as iron, phosphorous, selenium, and iodine.
White Chia SeedsCha, cha, cha, cha, chia! Its hard to avoid mentioning the ol Chia Pet when
discussing this nutrient-dense seed. One ounce of this super seed of the ancient Aztecs
contains nearly 5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids in an in ammation- ghting 3:1 ratio of
omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.
Whats more, that same serving size will also yield 11 grams of gut-friendly ber and 4
grams of protein, a combination of nutrients known to satiate the appetite and help regulateblood sugar. To say that these seeds are chockfull of nutrients would be an understatement.
In addition to their ber and protein, chia seeds are also a healthy source of:
Calcium
Manganese
Magnesium
Phosphorus
Chia seeds also provide several B vitamins (e.g., B1, Thiamine, Niacin), zinc, and
potassium. Chia seeds are also loaded antioxidants, which help to protect the healthy
fats packed inside of them. (62) Amongst the polyphenols in chia seeds is rosmarinic
acid, which has been shown to have anti-in ammatory and anti-nociceptive (i.e., inhibits
the sensation of pain) properties. (63)
There is some research to suggest that grinding the seeds may offer more nutritive
value than consuming the seeds whole. Scientists from Appalachian State Universitycompared milled (i.e., ground) chia seed to whole chia seed supplementation in
overweight women. The scientists found that milled chia seeds increased blood levels
of ALA and EPAtwo important omega-3 fatty acidssigni cantly more so than whole
chia seeds, which the authors interpreted as a sign that milled chia seeds are more
bioavailable. (64)

Pumpkin SeedsWhile these delicious and nutritious seeds are green in color, pumpkin seedsalso
known as pepitasare encased in a white husk (i.e., shell). In fact, if youve ever carved
a Halloween pumpkin, youve likely had some hands-on experience. Pumpkin seeds
are packed with nutrition, as they are a very good source of the following vitamins andminerals:
Magnesium
Zinc
Phosphorus
Manganese
Copper
Iron
Pumpkin seeds are also high in both ber and protein, as a single -cup serving
provides 5 grams of each. Whats more, pumpkin seeds contain a host of antioxidant
phytonutrients, ligans, and phytosterols. For all of these reasons, they are a nutrient-
dense all-star.
Magnesium and zinc, two nutrients in which pumpkin seeds are quite rich, are
relatively common nutrient de ciencies. In fact, according to a 2009 report from theUnited States Department of Agriculture, nearly 70% of the population did not meet
the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium and over 40% of the
population did not meet the RDA for zinc.
Magnesium plays an essential role in nearly 300 metabolic reactions, including the
pumping of the heart, proper bone and tooth formation, relaxation of blood vessels, and
proper bowel function. Chronic insomnia is one of the primary symptoms of magnesium
de ciency, and in many cases, sleep is often agitated with frequent nighttimeawakenings.
Along these lines, a high-magnesium, low-aluminum diet has been found to be
associated with deeper, less interrupted sleep. As a matter of fact, researchers at the
Human Nutrition Research Center in North Dakota proved precisely that in a study titled

Effects of trace element nutrition on sleep patterns in adult women, which appeared in
the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal.
Whats more, magnesium assists in carbohydrate and fat metabolism; as a matter of
fact, low levels of magnesium are associated with insulin resistance and increased riskfor type 2 diabetes. (65, 66) Studies conducted on animals have shown that pumpkin seeds
may help improve insulin regulation and help relieve oxidative stress. (67)
Meanwhile, zinc assists in growth, development, neurological function, reproduction,
and immune function. Like magnesium, zinc plays a crucial role in a variety of bodily
functions, as it is important for immunity, cell growth and division, sleep, mood, senses
of taste and smell, eye and skin health, insulin regulation, and male sexual function.
Zinc intake is closely related to testosterone levels, and even minor de ciencies areassociated with signi cant decreases in testosterone in men. (68) In aging males,
decreases in testosterone are closely correlated to increases in body fat and decreases
in lean body mass. (69)
Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut OilWhile extra virgin olive oil has always been (and will continue to be) a staple, nutritious,
go-to oil for healthy cooking, theres a new kid on the block thats getting all the attention
as of late, and for good reason. Coconut oil, which is actually 90% saturated fat, is thenew superstar, but it hasnt always been viewed as healthy.
Perhaps some of the negative light that has previously been shined on coconut oil is
somewhat deserved. According to Alexandra Bernardin:
For years, coconut oil was portrayed as a destroyer of cardiovascular health. Its
artery-clogging, heart attack-causing, cholesterol-raising side effects were aunted in
the media, and the public responded by shunning this useful and natural oil. However,researchers made one big mistake, which they conveniently did not publicize: In their
studies, they used hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated coconut oil. By doing so,
they changed everything good about coconut oil. (70)
For sake of reference, hydrogenation essentially refers to the fact that these were
trans fats that were used, and of course, coconut oil is going to get a bad rap if its
-

29
being chemically warped into this health-derailing nightmare (i.e., trans fats). But, what
happens when we use fresh, cold-pressed, extra-virgin coconut oil? We get an all-
natural food that is chockfull of health-building saturated fats.
2 minute cleanse kills toxic parasitesLIVING in your belly
Due to exposure to an array of common foods, beverages, and over-the-counter
medicines, 9 out of 10 peoples guts have been infested with toxic, parasitic
bacteria
that is DESTROYING their health and making it virtually impossible for them to
dropfat from their biggest problem areas...and that very likely means you.
Fortunately, theres a quick 2 minute cleanse that you can perform today, almost
without thinking, to correct this dangerous imbalance. Just follow the simple steps
given at this link:
==> 2 minute cleanse kills toxic parasites LIVING in your belly
According to Bernardin, here are some of the top reasons you should include coconut
oil in your diet:
1. Its composed of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which your body can quickly and
ef ciently use for energy and are not stored in the body as fat.
2. Like breast milk, coconut oil is high in the fatty acid lauric acid, which plays a critical
role in immune system function.
3. It is antiviral, antifungal, antiparasite, and antiprotozoa.
4. Coconut oil is high in capric acid and caprylic acid, which are antioxidants.

30
5. It is cardioprotective. Populations that consume 30-60 percent of their daily caloric
intake from coconuts are virtually free from cardiovascular disease, and it helps to lower
cholesterol.
6. Unlike unsaturated vegetable oils like soybean and corn oil, coconut oil does notblock the secretion of thyroid hormone.
7. Coconut oil is easily digested and can support healthy digestive function.
8. Coconut oil helps with zinc and magnesium absorption, two very important minerals
vital for a multitude of functions in the body including bone health.
In addition, several studies have linked the consumption of extra virgin coconut oil tosmaller waist sizes. For example, researchers found that subjects who consumed two
tablespoons of coconut oil per day for 12 weeks while following a reduced-calorie diet
and including daily exercise (i.e., walking) lost a signi cant amount of abdominal fat
compared to the control group that followed the same diet and exercise program without
coconut oil. (71) In addition, the coconut oil group also experienced an increase in HDL
cholesterol and a decrease in their LDL:HDL cholesterol ratio.
The researchers concluded, Supplementation with coconut oil does not cause
dyslipidemia and seems to promote a reduction in abdominal obesity.
Whats more, research also suggests that the MCTs found in coconut oil have a
signi cant thermogenic (i.e., metabolism-boosting) effect. In one study, rats were
overfed with either long-chain fatty acids (LCTs), which are the common form of fat
found in foods, or MCTs. The rats fed the MCTS gained 20% less weight and 23% less
body fat despite consuming the same overall amount of energy. (72)
In another study, researchers found that consuming MCTs increased metabolism morethan eating LCTs from other foods. As a matter of fact, the subjects that consumed
MCTs lost signi cantly more weight and burned more fat than the group consuming
LCTs. (73) Researchers have also found that consuming just 1 2 tablespoons daily of
MCTs can elevate the metabolism (i.e., thermic effect of feeding) by as much as 5%,
which may mean burning an additional 150 calories or more just by swapping your oils. (74)

No White (Processed) FoodsWhile the no white foods commandment has a sound basis and was born out of good
intention, it is a good example of a nutrition rule that may have been taken too far.
Yes, youll be doing your health and your body composition a service by reducingbetter yet, completely eliminatingyour consumption of heavily-processed, high-
glycemic white carbohydrates (e.g., processed ours, breads, breakfast cereals, bagels,
noodles and pasta, baked goods, crackers, re ned sugars, table sugar, high fructose
corn syrup, etc.).
However, as you can see from the list above, youll equally be doing your well being and
your waistline good by increasing your intake of many natural, unprocessed white foods,
which can fully support your health and body composition goals.
