Our weight loss doctor recommends incorporating sources of lean protein into your diet when you’re following one of our easy weight loss programs. Halibut is an excellent choice because it’s loaded with nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, which help satiate our appetites and reduces inflammation, while yielding an array of cardiovascular benefits. In addition, halibut is a great source of vitamins B6 and B12, folic acid and magnesium. Ginger promotes healthy digestion and the spices in this recipe pack some serious antioxidant power. Mangoes are rich in prebiotic dietary fiber, which also helps fill us up, and are an excellent course of vitamins E, B6 and C, and important poly-phenolic flavonoid antioxidant compounds such as beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, andbeta-cryptoxanthin. Mangoes also contain trace minerals, including copper.
