Here is a great recap to focus on for key nutrients to fuel your body. Thank you Women's Health for this excerpt from the Vitamin D Diet. Here is my synopsis.
Calcium - (dairy) the more calcium a fat cell has the more fat it will release to burn
Protein - (lean) keeps hunger in check and our bodies proportioned
Omega 3 Fatty Acids - (Salmon, nuts) switches on enzymes to trigger fat burning in the cells
MUFA's - (olive oil, avocados, peanut butter, dark chocolate) they zero in on Belly Fat
Conjugated Linoleic Acid - (dairy) CLA's help blood glucose to be burned as energy¬ store as fat
