When you're on a diet, it seems all you can think about are the foods you can't eat. If you change course and think about what you eat, you could drop the pounds.

Eating super foods can help. Super foods are packed with disease-fighting nutrients, that are unprocessed and usually lower in calories.


Examples include salmon, beans, nuts, oats, berries, and even sweet potatoes. These foods can help fight obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers.
