Pepitas
Pepitas is the Spanish word for pumpkin or squash seeds. These seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to decrease the body's ability to store fat. They're also high in protein and magnesium which help curb cravings and strengthen muscles. Try eating 1 cup of seeds a few times a week either by roasting them or sprinkling them on meals.
As a reminder, always consult your doctor for medical advice and treatment before starting any program.
