Simply interesting how weight loss expert Keri Glassman unveils some great tips in her new book The O2 Diet Its surprisingly based on eating foods that have high antioxidant activity levels. If you ever heard of ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) – a scientific scale that represents antioxidant levels of natural foods, then you will understand Glassman’s diet that recommends consuming 30,000 ORAC points a day, which is higher than the recommended daily consumption.
By consuming ORAC-rich fruits and vegetables daily, you can forget about low-carbing and calorie counting and enjoy healthy nutrient-rich foods that help you lose weight more easily.
You are probably wondering, what are these antioxidant superstars and how do they help so I can pick them up at the grocery store?
She estimates that the O2 diet should help you lose about 2-3 pounds a week. And some of the weight-loss wonders are: artichoke, lemon water and red grapefruit which are all packed with very high ORAC points. Foods like figs and watermelon help slow down the aging process and make your skin glow. Want more? There’s blueberries, dark chocolate, prunes and cherries. They all have thousands of ORAC points too and in addition help you bolster immunity, fight heart disease and keep you healthy.
I am no ‘ORAC Mathematician’ but before coming across Keri’s book, getting some of this foods from this grocery store and eating them raw or mixed in a smoothie helped me cleanse my body and enjoy great results with my weight loss success story quicker. What do you know? I beat Keri to this discovery…I should get first credit. lol!
Well, Keri or anyone else can leave me a comment below and talk about their experience. Here’s one for healthy living!
