Almond Butter
almonds are high in fiber and low in carbohydrates. in fact they contain a whopping 4.5g of fiber per 2 Tbsp! they are also very rich in monosaturated fats and antioxidants. almond butter gives you 7g of protein per serving!
Coconut Oil
coconut is considered a superfood because it's benefits are countless. coconuts are rich in electrolytes, vitamins and minerals, fiber, protein and healthy fats. coconut's fats are very peculiar because they are not regular fats. they are made of medium chain triglycerides (compared to long chain found in other fats) that makes them easily digestible. our body uses coconut's fats in the same way as carbohydrates, just without spiking the insulin. in this way you feel full for longer.
Fish Oil
fatty fish (like salmon, swordfish and tuna) is very rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids. but not all the fish! you must make sure you get the wild caught fish, not the farm raised which not only contains high amounts of mercury but is fed soy, omega 6 fatty acids (inflammatory) and food dyes that give the fish meat the attractive color.
