What to eat

So reading around the issues, its becoming apparent that there are several foods that come up time and time again as great for both nutrition, and for weight loss. Some articles or writers even go as far as to describe them as 'superfoods' (although I'm really doubtful about that term, as I suspect that its really easy to use such a status as a reason to eat something to excess, that isn't at all 'green', to justify giving something a high cost (and making yourself a hefty profit into the process) or just to justify why someone should eat something that isn't that great to eat!!).

Anyway.... thus far, in my eyes anyway, the list of 'goodies' (and some of them are so yummy as to definately *be* goodies) is this:

Kale
Quinoa
Oats
Apples
Olives (Olive Oil)
Taragon
Buckwheat
Blueberries
Almonds (although some sources say 'almond butter' rather than the whole nut)
Chillies
Pomegranates
Lentils
Goji Berries
Avocados
Basil
Cinnamon

And that is far from the exhaustive list, its just those things that are considered 'mainstream' foods....
