Obesity is one of the main contributing factors for type 2 diabetes which represents about 90 percent or so of all diabetes cases. It cannot be said enough that although diabetes medications, insulin injections, etc, can help manage diabetes, true freedom from diabetes only comes from natural methods and not from what a doctor can prescribe. This means that diet is an important factor to properly manage and even cure diabetes naturally. Exercise is also important but if weight is an issue for you, your diet will have the most impact on weight loss.

1. Superfoods That Help Fight
Obesity That Should Be Part Of
Any Diabetic Diet
By Terry Robbins

2. Introduction
● Obesity is one of the main contributing factors for type 2
diabetes which represents about 90 percent or so of all diabetes
cases. It cannot be said enough that although diabetes
medications, insulin injections, etc, can help manage diabetes,
true freedom from diabetes only comes from natural methods
and not from what a doctor can prescribe. This means that diet
is an important factor to properly manage and even cure
diabetes naturally. Exercise is also important but if weight is an
issue for you, your diet will have the most impact on weight loss.
● With that in mind, while many people are searching for the next
acai berry, garcinia cambogia, and other so called "superfoods"
for weight loss, it is important to remember that there are other
superfoods that are easily available that can help fight diabetes
and help put you on the path to being able to cure diabetes
naturally.

3. Two important types
● When considering superfoods that fight obesity by
enabling you to lose weight, most experts state that
there are two main categories of foods that are
considered "keeping it off superfoods" as they fill your
stomach and have few calories.
● There is no way to get away from fruits and vegetables
and you shouldn't want to. Diabetics should get well
acquainted with fruits and vegetables. Simply find
what you like. If you hate avocado or tomatoes or
broccoli, there are many other vegetables and fruits
that you can enjoy.

4. Two important types cont.
● Fruits and vegetables are nutrient rich which will help
promote general health and wellbeing. However, as far as
weight loss is concerned, many fruits and vegetables
contain an important nutrient - fiber. Fruits and vegetables
are not only low in calories which is important for weight
loss, but the fiber they contain will help to fill you up
quicker.
● Fiber is a VERY important aspect of any diabetic diet. Fiber
especially soluble fiber helps slow down digestion which
can help manage blood sugar levels. And by helping you
feel fuller sooner, both soluble and insoluble fiber
(roughage) prevent you from eating too much or filling
hungry all the time which can derail any weight loss goals
when you engorge yourself with all kinds of unhealthy
foods in order to feed the "hunger monster".

5. Two types cont.
● Many unhealthy foods that many people are addicted to
contain empty calories which means that you will need
more and more of these foods in order to feel satisfied
which adds on the pounds. Not so with nutrient rich fruits
and vegetables.
● The second category of superfoods that will help with
weight loss goals are protein rich foods. Protein is another
super-nutrient that can help to curb your appetite as has
been shown by various scientific studies. Protein in addition
offers staying power, and can slightly can give you the
metabolic boost you need which helps burn more calories.
While protein is good, it is important to choose your
proteins wisely, because like all other foods, if you eat
more than your body needs, it will show up on the scale as
a gain, instead of a loss.

6. Top superfoods for weight loss
1. Water
● You need to be drinking about 8 to 10 eight ounce glasses
of water a day. It helps keep you hydrated which is
important for your health and well-being. Staying well
hydrated is also important in order for your body to
eliminate disease causing toxins and other waste. In fact, if
you eat a fiber rich diet (and all diabetics should) water is
important for both soluble and insoluble fiber to properly do
their work in the body.
● Water can also help with weight loss by helping you feel
full. Drinking a glass of water before a meal can help curb
your appetite so that you do not eat too much.

7. 2. Green Tea
● The next important superfood for weight loss is green tea.
Various studies have proven that green tea can help with
weight loss. The researchers believe that compounds
found in green tea known as catechins (helpful
phytochemicals) which are antioxidants, may trigger weight
loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and mildly
decrease body fat. Three to four cups of green tea a day is
ideal. Green tea is also believed to help reduce the very
dangerous belly fat so drink up.

8. 3. Broth
● Broth or tomato based soups are not only comforting on
cold nights but can also help reduce your hunger before
meals and cause you to feel full. Before any meal, make
sure that you have some soup first. You may find that you
may not need to eat as much and fewer calories consumed
results in weight loss.

9. 4. Low-calorie green salads
● And not ones loaded with high fat dressings, croutons,
cheese, etc. A low calorie healthy green salad as a first
course can help you feel full which will reduce the amount
of food (and calories) you will consume for your main
course. Choose the ingredients carefully and make sure
that the ingredients chosen are fiber rich to help you feel
fuller and fight food cravings later. While you may enjoy a
salad featuring iceberg lettuce, this will not do much as far
as nutrients or fiber.

10. 5. Beans
● Beans contain the perfect combination of fiber and protein
which will help to feel you up sooner and help to fight food
cravings in between meals. Beans are also a significant
source of insoluble fiber which is what can also help to
control your blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion.
If you are serious about curing diabetes naturally, beans
should be an important part of your diabetic diet.

11. 6. Yogurt
● The right kind of yogurt can help you with your weight loss
goals and should be an important part of a diabetic diet.
Yogurt contains protein and carbohydrates both of which
can help you fight off hunger pangs. Choose low fat yogurt
and preferably one with active cultures which are very
important for a healthy digestive tract. Try to stay away
from the fruity and high fat types of yogurt which do not
contain enough beneficial properties and are unreasonably
high is sugar content which can be a problem for diabetics.

12. 7. Whole Grain Cereal
● Whole grains as opposed to refined grains are a rich
source of fiber in addition to the many other nutrients they
contain which are usually eliminated with refined grains.
The importance of fiber cannot be stressed enough if you
are looking to cure diabetes naturally and fiber rich whole
grain cereal is one of the easiest methods to get the whole
grain boost that you need to start the day off right. Works
great for breakfast or as a snack.

13. Conclusion

not only low calorie but will also fill you up sooner to curb your appetite as well as fight cravings in
between meals. The less you eat, the more weight you will lose. The fewer calories you eat, the more
weight your will lose. The above superfoods help with both aspects. For more on the best foods for
