The Best Foods to Eat With Hoodia

While you are on a hoodia weight loss supplement you are definitely going to notice that you do not feel like eating. However you must eat to keep your body well nourished.

The thing about Hoodia is that it can cause you to cut at least 1000 calories a day from what you normally eat so what you actually do eat in your remaining calorie allotment (which may be anywhere from 500 to 1500 calories a day depending on your height and weight) must be healthy and as jam packed with nutrients as possible.

If you are going to take hoodia then make sure that you eat some broccoli during the day. Broccoli contains roughage to keep you from getting constipated as well as folic acid (to keep you from being anemic) and folic acid.

Beans are a must while you are going through the drop in calorie intake that hoodia can cause. Beans are cheap, rich in protein and fiber and a good source of iron. You can add them to soup or eat them in a tortilla and feel like you have eaten an entire meal while you are on hoodia.

In terms of fruit cantaloupe is one of the more nourishing choices just a quarter of it supplies you with all of the vitamin A and C you need in a day. Blending this amount of cantaloupe with chunks of ice makes a very nourishing shake. Oranges are also very nutritious and have lots of vitamin C, fiber and folic acid.

When it comes to vegetables orange is also your lucky color. Go for the sweet potatoes and yams, which are loaded with potassium, fiber, vitamin C and Vitamin A.

If you are a milk drinker then go for it as skim or low fat milk is an excellent source of calcium and protein. Soy milk is also a good choice.  If you are drinking rice milk or some other type of substitute make sure that it is enriched with protein.

It is also important to keep your briain e enriched with omega-3 fats and the best ways to do this is to eat avocadoes and fish.  Salmon is an especially rich source of these fats and so is catfish, swordfish and rainbow trout.  Not only are these good fats crucial for memory and brain function they also prevent heart attacks.

Sometimes people who are on a regimen of taking hoodia forget to eat enough fiber or carbohydrates because they feel so full on the time. Make sure to eat oatmeal or whole grain bread.  It is also a good idea to eat pineapple when you are taking hoodia as it will help you break down what little food that you are eating so that it can be efficiently digested.
