Health experts have confirmed that consistent weight loss starts and ends with cleaning up your eating regiment and eliminating fast foods from your diet.

Eating natural and whole foods will not only help with your weight loss, but it will also lower your risk of obesity, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. When you think weight loss, think health, fitness, and "Clean Consumption."  Below are 5 types of foods that you should eat on a daily basis in an effort to ward off weight gain, and illnesses.

Potassium is essential in providing relief from bloating by stabilizing and circulating body fluids. Potassium-rich foods help your kidneys to flush out excess sodium from your body. Foods highest in potassium are Sweet Potatoes, White Potatoes, Tomato Sauce, Watermelon, Spinach, Beets, Black Beans, White Beans, Salmon, Edamame, Butternut Squash, Swiss Chard, and Yogurt.
• Everyone knows that "Sugar" has proven to be unhealthy, and the main contributor to weight loss and certain illnesses. Some experts refer to sugar as "White Death" because of its destructive properties. Sugar not only causes weight gain, but it compromises your immune system and can cause cell aging and a decline in elasticity and tissue function. Always check the labels on everything you eat, and avoid foods and snacks that are packed with artificial sugar such as granola, flavored yogurts, trail mix, and soda.
• Magnesium-Rich Foods - Magnesium is a mineral this is crucial to preventing constipation by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the intestines. Foods such as spinach, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, tofu, bananas, avocado, dark chocolate, and green leafy vegetables are all rich in magnesium. 
• Anti-Inflammatory Foods - Ditch the water pill, and incorporate whole, and natural foods that are free from chemicals and starches, especially chips and other junk foods. The best anti-inflammatory foods are salmon, broccoli, green tea, spinach, walnuts, garlic, turmeric, and ginger.
• Foods Rich in Fiber - Most people only consume about 10-15 grams of fiber per day. Experts recommend getting at least 30 grams of fiber each day to assist with pushing stomach-clogging materials out of your body, and to keep your gastrointestinal tract clean which promotes healthy digestion. If you fail to get enough fiber, you will experience unnatural bloating, and weight loss will be elusive. Fiber-rich foods include vegetables, oatmeal, gluten-free grains, berries, lentils artichokes in meals, green smoothies, salads, soups, and beans. 

Healthy weight loss begins with eating whole foods, consuming sufficient water, and exercising. Ditch the weight loss supplements and go "Green" and embrace the new lifestyle that will fuel your body with energy, health, and beauty.
