Fat Burning Food

Include the following fat burning foods into your diet to maximize weight loss and maintain healthy weight.

How To Lose Weight?

There are many nutritionists who claim that the only way to lose weight is to count your calories and create caloric deficit (eat less calories than you burn) in order to lose weight. In other words they say that it does not matter what you eat, but rather how much.

So, basically you can order your dinners from MacDonald’s and eat fried greasy foods every day and drink soda, eat cakes and still lose weight so long as you don’t exceed the maximum calories you can eat for the day. There was even one guy on tweeter a while back who tried to prove he could lose weight by eating only fast food. I think he was pretty successful at first.

But while in theory those claims are indeed true, in reality they painfully fail time after time making those who tried to ‘cheat’ themselves out of healthy lifestyle sicker and fatter than before.

So why does that happen?

The problem with the above theory is that people imagine our body as an energy burning furnace and that we can calculate precisely how much ‘wood’ (or food) we need to keep going. This is only true from the first glance, and when we start digging deeper into the processes that regulate our body things get much more complex.

Why do We Need Good Quality Food?

We have different interconnected biological systems that keep our body functioning and alive and digestive system is just one of them. Others are circulatory, endocrine, immune, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, and urinary. In order for them to work in sync with each other and keep us healthy they need to continuously receive vital nutrients from our food.

Our body (and mind) needs a whole range of different vitamins, minerals and enzymes to be in balance. If we deprive or create deficiency of even one vitamin, everything will fall out of order like the house of cards. And externally we will feel sick, tired and lifeless.

Therefore each of us needs to eat a whole range of different, nutrient rich foods from different food groups to ensure that our body functions properly, especially when we try to lose excess body fat. Chances are that the main reason why we gained weight in the first place was because of some inner imbalances in one of our biological systems. To fix that we could go to the doctors and spends countless amount of money on tests and drugs or we could try and avoid all that by eating healthy and exercising frequently.

So next time someone tells you that it does not matter what you eat as long as your calories are counted, do not listen to them because now you know that quality of food is what you need to gain health and lose weight naturally.

Fat Burning Foods - How Does it Work?

Some foods tend to affect our metabolism or fat burning ability better than the others. That happens because, once again, they contain unique fat burning nutrients inside and when we eat them they get transferred into our blood stream making us lose weight much faster and easier.

In addition, these foods are unprocessed, low in trans fats, low in carbohydrates, fresh and delicious. They are created by nature to be the perfect food for your body. The natural nutrients found in them are absorbed much faster and better than those from synthetic sources.

They send the signals to the brain that your body receives nutrients and the brain relieves the hunger for longer periods of time. They bring all your biological systems in balance and you stop having sugar or junk food cravings naturally.

Here is a list of fat burning food that will be a great addition to your healthy diet.

Fat Burning Product List

Grapefruit

Scientist have discovered that grapefruit reduces insulin levels (a hormone responsible for fat stores) and that the enzymes found in this delicious fruit speed up metabolism making you burn more fat. Grapefruits are low fat, low calorie and nutrient rich fat burning food that are a must for anyone trying to lose weight. Only half of one grapefruit a day will make you lose up to 10 pounds over a 12-week-period.

Coffee

Coffee is another fat burning food that many of us enjoy. Just two cups of coffee a day will tremendously speed up your metabolism and improve digestion. Coffee is also full of antioxidants that slow down the aging process. I do not advice drinking more than one or two cups of coffee a day to keep your adrenal glands in balance, as coffee is a very strong stimulant. If used in moderation, this fat burning food will be a great addition to your weight loss diet.

Soups

Particularly vegetable soups and medleys are found to be extremely helpful when trying to lose weight. They are low fat, very filling and provide many vitamins and minerals from vegetables that you use. If you want to lose weight and never feel hungry, try eating this fat burning food as your snack.

Apples

Apples are widely available, delicious and very nutritious fruit. They have tons of pectin, a fat burning fiber, that improve digestion and help you lose weight faster. Eat one apple a day to keep the doctor away – the old saying goes.

Spinach

Spinach is considered one of the best superfoods that is loaded with healthy vegan protein and iron. It is very delicious, nutritious and easy to prepare fat burning food. Add it to your salads, soups and pastas, as well as juices and smoothies. It lowers cholesterol and stimulates metabolism, helping you stay healthy and young.

Mustard This unusual fat burning food is very effective when incorporated into a healthy weight loss diet. Scientists have discovered that only one teaspoon of mustard will speed up your metabolism by 25-30 percent. Sounds pretty impressive to me!

Coconut Oil

This is a healthy source of fat that is very pleasant to taste. It is low carb, which means it does not upset your pancreas and keeps your sugar levels in balance. It improves digestion, stimulates metabolism and helps you burn fat faster. If you look for a healthy fat source for your diet, coconut oil is your best choice.
