5 Fat
Burning Foods
There is
plenty of confusion
out
there about what to eat and
what not to eat when trying to lose weight. It seems everyone has an
opinion
about what is good for you and what is not good for you these days,
including
doctors, scientists, government agencies, and especially the news
media. Just
how are you supposed to know what to eat to help you lose weight?
Here is a
list of 5 things (OK,
I
cheated, they aren’t all
exactly food…) that have a proven history and scientific
backing that when
eaten consistently along with a healthy diet and exercise, will help
you lost weight fast.
The
5 fat burning foods are:
Broccoli –
Broccoli is
outstanding for overall health as
well as burning fat. It is full of antioxidants and has phytochemicals
that
strengthen the immune system and is even known to help fight off
cancer. Broccoli
contains the compound Calcium D-glucarate which helps maintain proper
hormone
levels and is chock full of fiber. This is a low carbohydrate snack you
should
include in your diet every day.
Almonds –
Almonds are
another low carbohydrate snack that is
easy to take with you and help keep your appetite under control all day
long.
They have fat, fiber and protein which are all essential for good
health and
they will give you energy throughout the day without adversely
affecting blood
sugar levels.
Salmon –
Salmon is another
one of those foods that has been
“on again, off again” mainly because it does have a
fairly high fat content,
but is a great source of protein and omega-3 fats which will definitely
help
you burn fat faster.
Green Tea –
Green Tea is a
natural fat burner and contains a
host of healthy nutrients. It has been shown to help fight cancer, and
contains
antioxidant, caffeine and a compound called Epigallocatechin gallate or
EGCG.
The combination of the caffeine and EGCG has been shown through
research to aid
in burning fat. You will want to drink several cups each day. If you
find Green
Tea a little bitter, just add a bit of raw honey for a very pleasant
drink
either hot or cold.
Water –
Water is the basic
substance of life and makes up
over 70% of our bodies, yet most Americans are chronically dehydrated.
The
body’s signal for water is sometimes misinterpreted as
hunger, so you can
immediately see the advantage of staying hydrated. Water is essential
for flushing
waste and toxins out of the body, and this is even more important when
you are
losing weight. Drink at least 8 to 10 (8 ounce) glasses of water every
single
day.
OK, 2 of the
foods are drinks,
but
each of these is
important for your health and has been proven to help you burn fat. Be
sure to
add these foods to your diet for and start burning fat a whole lot
faster.
