Top Ten Fat Burning Foods

Family Fitness Now Top Ten Fat Burning Foods

1. Raw Fruits & Vegetables
You'll not only maintain your weight much easier if you eat more RAW fruits & veggies but you'll also lose weight much faster on eating them. Here's another quick fact, your body burns 16% more calories after you eat a meal that's mostly fruits & vegetables than if you ate a meal without any fruits or vegetables. Fruits & veggies that are high in Vitamin C like Oranges, lemons & pineapples liquefy (or burn off) body fat so the fat can be easily flushed out of your system. Even farmers feed pigs steamed or cooked veggies to fatten them up because they know raw veggies will slim them down.
2. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is loaded with fiber that decreases your appetite by making you feel full so you can go for long periods of time without eating while keeping your energy levels high at the same time. If you eat oatmeal about 1-to-2 hours before doing your workout oatmeal will give you a longer lasting blast of energy that helps you workout longer & more intensely which helps you lose weight much faster. Lastly, it's better to eat steel-cut oats, plain or natural oatmeal & not the flavored oatmeal packets that contain lots of sugar.
3. Dairy products

Dairy products or foods high in calcium like Low-fat yogurt, cheese, & milk breakdown fat cells faster and in a recent study people who ate low-fat dairy products 3-to-4 times a day lost 70% more fat than people on a low-dairy diet.

4. Any kind of raw nuts
Eat any kind of nuts for fiber to ward off hunger and to also get a good dose of protein & healthy Omega 3s fats to help burn fat faster & produce more testosterone but... Make sure you eat raw & organic nuts instead of roasted & salted to get the full weight loss benefits. All you need is just a handful and you are ready for success.
5. Apples
Eat apples so the pectin can prevent your body from absorbing too much fat and... The pectin from apples causes your body to release fat. Pectin is also a strong appetite suppressant that keeps you satisfied for long periods of time causing you not to over eat so you won't gain weight.
6. Brazil Nuts
Brazil Nuts are rich in selenium and selenium is needed by your body to make thyroid hormones that are responsible for keeping your metabolism high. A handful a day can go a long ways.
7. Fish
Eat more fish like Salmon, Tuna, and Sardines to make your body more sensitive to a fat-burning hormone called Leptin (Leptin means "thin" in Greek). Leptin suppresses your appetite and Leptin determines whether you store the calories you eat as fat or if you burn the calories you eat for energy.
8. Spices
Add spices to your foods like chili peppers, jalapeno peppers, cayenne peppers or hot mustard to increase your fat burning metabolism by 8-to-20% for up to 3 hours after eating spices. In addition, Garlic is a strong diuretic that can help you flush out excess water weight.
Gingerol (the active ingredient in ginger) increases growth hormone production which increases the amount of fat released from your fat stores to be burned as fuel.
9. Organic Beef
Organic Beef contains lots of CLA (or conjugated linoleic acid) which is basically a healthy fat that helps you burn fat. According to The International Journal of Obesity... People who took CLA lost belly fat by reducing their waistlines by 1.2 inches without making any diet or lifestyle changes. Exercise is always recommend.
10. Avocados
Avocados contain a sugar called mannoheptulose that helps lower insulin levels to prevent you from storing fat (or gaining weight).

The above list is just a few of the foods that burn calories or speed up your metabolism rate.
