Unless you really LIKE black beans, sweet potatoes, and tomato paste, toss.  Lots of extra carbs.

Curry was a good one-spices raise the metabolism, the hotter they are, the more your body temp raises and burns calories. 

Spices also have tons of antioxidants, and are great for providing lots of flavor without having to add fat and salt to accomplish this.

Grapefruit and vinegar are one of those urban legends for weight loss but I think its mostly the diuretic properties-great for that time of the month anyway.

Coffee or tea--caffeine does improve mood and metabolism.

Tofu-almost all protein.

Switch from white rice to brown--it is so filling you will eat only half the amount and feel full for hours!

Pumpkin is also a superfood that should be included... It is low in calories and high in fiber! Check out Hungry-Girl.com for info on how to modify recipes to bake with pumpkin puree.

Yes Anna, black beans, sweet potatoes, and tomato paste, are very goof for you carbs.
