2. Leafy Greens
Kale, Spinach, Beet Greens, Arugula and many more.

3. Berries
Best are Raspberries and Blueberries. Again, get organic OR local :)

4. Coconut Oil
This is a plant based medium chain saturated fat, This beneficial fat actually boosts metabolism.

5. Grass Fed Beef
High in Vitamin B12 and CLA (Congegated linogated acid) that will allow the body to burn fat!
Action Step: You must, must, must buy grass fed organic beef. Traditional beef is filled with antibiotics and hormones. Make your favorite meatloaf, burgers or meat sauce. Look for some great recipes with a healthy breadcrumb recipe!
