An article by someone who knows these things listed five foods which are supposed to help your diet along. They are, in no particular order: GREEN TEA, POMEGRANATES (full of anti-oxidants), ASPARAGUS (great digestive aid), PINE NUTS (appetite suppressant), and MILLET (or whole, non-processed grains). This person's good advice was to avoid white rice and pasta. He also suggested other healthy foods to eat on a regular basis: whole grains, chicken, fruit, and lentils. Good luck.
