Eat This: Lentils

Mmm, lentilsDid you know that Lentils are loaded with fiber? 1 cup have over 16 grams! That's more fiber than a cup of Kellogg's "All Bran" cereal!  Lentils also have 27% more folate per cup than a cupe of cooked spinach does. According to Cornell University, there are compounds in lentils that contain disease-fighting antioxidants. One of my all time favorite dish is Curry Lentils on Brown Rice

Lentils

Lentils are  belly flattener. They are high in protein and soluble fiber, two nutrients that stabilize blood sugar levels. Eating them helps prevent insulin spikes that cause your body to create excess fat, especially in the abdominal area.Creative Commons License photo credit: nosha
