Tip 2

Seafood helps to burn calories!

Iodine
Seafood, especially kelp, has more iodine in it than most other foods. Iodine is one of your thyroid glands primary sources of nutritional supplementation. Making sure that you take in enough iodine helps to ensure a healthy thyroid gland which promotes a healthy metabolism and ability to burn fat.

Shellfish contain a relatively high amount of iodine in them as well. After eating shelfish you may notice that you do not feel as bloated or water retentive as you normally would otherwise. This is because the extra iodine in the shellfish or seaweed kicks in your metabolism and you keeps your body from retaining excess water weight.

Meal idea:
A great meal idea to really capitalize on this concept might be a shrimp ceasure salad, or some crab legs and veggies.
