Watermelon
Watermelon is a high-water-content fruit rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. It is one of the most easy to digest foods, which allows your body’s energy to more quickly return to its housecleaning work.
Avocados
Good quality fats (including Avocados, “cloudy” extra virgin olive oil and coconuts), enjoyed in moderation, will actually store in the body as energy and not fat which helps you lose weight in the long run.
