Washington, DC Personal Trainer Reveals His Top Five Fitness Foods

By Josef Brandenburg

I take pride in being one of Washington, DC's top personal trainers. Getting other people healthy is my life's work. Although without help and support, this can seem overwhelming at times. We have all heard of good exercises and bad exercises, but what about food? With all the conflicting reports out there, low fat, no fat, no carbs, vegetarian, fruitarian, it can get your head spinning! With Washington, DC's top personal trainer, choosing the right direction is done for you. Below I have listed the top five foods you should focus on to have a healthy life.

1. Grass Fed Beef: Beef being at the top of the list even though it has high fat content, shouldn't surprise you. Besides tasting great, it is high in protein, fat burning CLA and omega 3 fatty acids while being low in saturated fats. You must remember that what was fed to what you eat is just as important as what you eat! Also keep in mind that not all beef is created equal.

2. Turkey Bacon: This is my favorite side dish as I am sure many others would agree. It tastes great; it is high in protein and extremely versatile. Try it crumbled in a favorite salad or next to your egg white omelet in the morning.

3. Berries: Sweet and wonderful. Whether they are strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, they are considered a number one super food. Packed with vitamins, anti oxidants and healthy phytochemicals. Funny thing is that they are relatively low in sugar, when they are ripe taste as sweet as the sweetest candy. A great suggestion is to stop eating that nutrient deficient cereal and toast for breakfast and try replacing it with a bowl of sweet berries for breakfast instead. They are so much better for you and will wake up your boring taste buds as well. Try it once and I can guarantee you'll never look back.

4. Spinach: Tasty and versatile, Popeye knew what he was doing. As breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner you will be eating a food loaded with beta-carotene, which can help to prevent cataracts. It is also loaded with Vitamin C to boost the immune system and leutin, which helps to protect against macular degeneration. Why not try having for breakfast - spinach omelet, for lunch - spinach salad and for dinner - a side serving of spinach next to some grass fed beef. I see no deprivation in that diet!

5. Shrimp: Shrimp is the only lean protein that is ready to be served in less than two minutes. Just listen to this list of the vitamins in shrimp, vitamin d for healthy bones, vitamin b12 for energy, selenium as an antioxidant, high in protein, low in fat and calories. A 4oz serving only has 112 calories, how perfect is that?

Well, there you have it. You have just found out this Washington, DC's top personal trainers list of 5 super foods. Incorporate these into your diet and you will be doing your body and your health a great service. Your taste buds will also thank you along the way. - 17273
