Top 5 Fitness Foods Unveiled By Washington, DC Personal Trainer

By Josef Brandenburg

Priding myself on being one of Washington, DC's top personal trainers, I have made it my life's work to help others to get healthy. Sometimes this task can seem extremely overwhelming without someone to support and guide you. We all have an idea of what exercises are good and what exercises are bad, but what happens when it comes to food? There are so many conflicting reports, no fat, no carbs, low fat, fruitarian, vegetarian, vegan, its enough to make your head spin! Thankfully, you don't have to worry. You have Washington, DC's top personal trainer to guide you in the right direction! Here are my top five fitness foods for you to focus on in your quest to a healthy existence.

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: Popeye was on to something here. Spinach is tasty and versatile. You can have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack if you so choose. It is loaded with Beta carotene to help prevent cataracts, Vitamin c to boost your immune system and leutin to protect against macular degeneration. You can have a spinach omelet for breakfast, a spinach salad for lunch and some of that grass fed beef with a side serving of spinach for dinner. Does that sound like you are being deprived? I don't think so!

5. Shrimp: Ready to serve in less than two minutes, it is a very lean protein. With shrimp, you will be offered vitamin D for your bones, vitamin b12 which gives energy, selenium for an antioxidant. At only 112 calories per 4 oz, serving shrimp is high in protein and low in fat. What isn't perfect about that?

Listed above you have just been given one of Washington, DC's top personal trainers list of the top five healthy foods. Adding these to your diet will be doing your body and your heath a multitude of good. Just try it and see if your taste buds do not thank you! - 17269
