Phenomenal Foods

Today's Phenomenal Food is:
Tomatoes!
I love tomatoes any way you can make them! I love them when they're in salads, the base of a pasta sauce, or even ketchup! Tomatoes are delicious, not to mention nutritious! According to an article called "36 Super Foods That Burn Fat & Help You Lose Weight" from Bembu.com:

Is it a fruit? Is it a vegetable? Who cares? All you need to know is that it’s got a ton of good things for your body for the long term, and in the short term it works to help you lose weight and help keep it off. They’re low on the calorie meter, but they help to give you that full feeling, and contain fiber that keeps things moving.

Like any bona fide superfood tomatoes bring more to the table than just weight loss. The lycopene brings antioxidants that studies are showing to be potentially helpful with a myriad of diseases and conditions. Be sure to add tomatoes to your cart next time.

Tomatoes are also great because they cost you 0 points plus on Weight Watchers, so eat away! They are great any way you prepare them, so get creative!
