Scientists believe there are two essential elements in fat burning foods. One of them is fiber. Fruits and vegetables have lots of fiber. Consuming fruits and vegetables gives a filling sensation and the best part is a decrease in caloric intake.
The second element is protein. One of the best fat burners, I might add. Protein does not only burn fat, it curbs the hungry feeling in your stomach. So, there you have it. Both fiber and protein are fat burning nutrients.
In order for the body to burn fat faster, we need a metabolism boost. And that’s what protein can do quite well. There is one drawback, however. Too much protein adds more weight. Be careful, we want to lose weight, not gain weight.
The following list of fat burning foods includes smart, low-calorie choices that will benefit our weight loss efforts.
1. Green tea. Researchers find that the catechins (helpful phytochemicals) in green tea may trigger weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and mildly decrease body fat. So indulge in either a hot cup or a nice tall iced glass of green tea.
2. Tomato or broth soups. A bowl of tomato or broth soup is an excellent snack before meals. No grilled cheese sandwich, please.
3. Low-calorie green salads. The trick to a low-calorie green salad is to leave out croutons, dressing and cheese. The first course of your meal should be a green salad. This will help you feel full faster. Picking a high fiber course will also cut back cravings later.
4.Yogurt. Not any kind, but low-fat yogurt. It is a great way to help you out with those stomach growling moments. Low-fat yogurt offers the protein and carbohydrates that your body needs as you are heading down the path to a healthy living.
5. Beans. If you’re looking for something that has fiber and protein all in one, I’ll give you beans. Plus, they keep the hunger at bay between meals.
6. Water. You may know water takes up most of the earth. And it’s the same for your body. Without water your body will dehydrate. If you don’t like water by itself, try adding the following items: lemon, lime, watermelon, or unsweetened flavoring. Remember to ask yourself, as you’re heading to the fridge, “have I watered my body properly today?”.
In addition to helping flush toxins from the body, it can also help us feel full. So when those hunger pangs strike, try drinking a glass of water before grabbing that snack.
7. High-fiber, whole-grain cereal. So many folks say I do not have time for breakfast. If you drink coffee, replace it with a bowl of high-fiber whole-grain cereal. Remember fiber is a fat burning nutrient and whole grains give fiber an additional boost.
I believe the fat burning foods listed above will set you on the right track to an improved appearance and health.
