Weight loss, as anybody can imagine, would be much easier if you felt incredible.  By feeling well, you can more easily elude temptations and cravings for foods that you really don't want to eat.  In this article, you'll learn three easy foods that anyone can add to their diet to increase their overall feeling state and metabolism, making weightloss much easier and more fun.

1.  Coconut - Coconut products, when they are natural, help to increase metabolism and thyroid function.  This, for many people, leads to added weight loss and more energy.  Also, the saturated fat in coconut is said to convert very quickly to energy rather than being stored as fat.  Much of the fat in coconut is in the form of medium chain tryglycerides, which are quick sources of fuel similar to a carbohydrate rather than a slow burning fat.

2.  Cacao or Chocolate -  Chocolate is one of the most concentrated sources of magnesium.  This is a mineral which is depleted by stress and relieves tension as well as increases focus and feelings of contentment.  Chocolate also contains chromium in high amounts, which helps to balance blood sugar levels.  Often times our intense cravings or emotional eating can actually be due to low blood sugar levels.  This can make us crave things to raise it or our overall mood might drop do to low amounts of energy.  Either way, eating is often a result.  In addition to helping with this, chocolate or cacao also contains various components which help us to feel better overall.  One of these is PEA which is present naturally when we are feeling love and increases focus and feelings of contentment along with MAO inhibitors which allow feel-good neurotransmitters to stay in flow longer.  Chocolate also contains one of the endorphins that is present after excersize, known as andandamide.  These qualities all make it easier to eat less.

3.  Blue Green Algae - Blue Green Algae is a very powerful weight loss and mood improving food in many ways.  It contains a component called PEA which increases feelings of wellbeing and is prevalent in high amounts in people naturally when they are feeling love.  It also contains phycocyanin, the blue quality of blue green algae, which is said to increase neurotransmitter production.  This can potentially increase feel-good serotonin and dopamine levels, making us feel better.  It also has a lot of minerals and bio-available protein which can increase our level of satiation.
