Please feel free to clip this list out and post it everywhere you go:
Beans
Beans are high in protein that helps your body build and repair muscles. This is a great food to incorporate in your diet. Did you know that when you build muscle, those cells in the muscles burn more calories than fat? Yes, women, we need to build muscle so, start lifting those weights more often and resistance training.
Hot Stuff
Add peppers like Jalapeno and cayenne peppers to your food. Your metabolism will rev up to a whopping 25%, if you are exercising. It will help your body burn fat faster.
Milk
Milk, if it's in the skim variety, is a great food to incorporate into your diet. The calcium will rev up your metabolism and helps in losing weight faster, especially since milk contains carbohydrates that will allow your body to keep your insulin levels up and causing your body not to store fat.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is a good fat that you can add to your cooking or on salads. Olive oil is wonderful for your arteries and heart, plus it helps with burning fat.
