Top 10 Fat Burning Foods

Fat-burning foods are rich in fiber and protein and are poor in fat. Protein foods do require more energy to digest than carbohydrates or fats. The protein content of these foods boosts your metabolism and increases the rate at which your body burns stored fat. Fiber also provides high satiety value, so you feel fuller, longer. Below mentioned are some effective fat burning foods.

1.Eggs: Whole Eggs, including the yolk (not just egg whites) – Most people know that eggs are one of the highest quality sources of protein.  However, most people don’t know that the egg yolks are the healthiest part of the egg… that’s where almost all of the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants (such as lutein) are found in eggs. Egg Yolks contain more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, B6, folate, and B12, and panthothenic acid of the egg. In addition, the yolks contain ALL of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K in the egg, as well as ALL of the essential fatty acids.  Also, the protein of whole eggs is more bio-available than egg whites alone due to a more balanced amino acid profile that the yolks help to build. Just make sure to choose free-range organic eggs instead of normal grocery store eggs.  Similar to the grass-fed beef scenerio, the nutrient content of the eggs and the balance between healthy omega-3 fatty acids and inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids (in excess) is controlled by the diet of the chickens.  Chickens that are allowed to roam free outside and eat a more natural diet will give you healthier, more nutrient-rich eggs with a healthier fat balance compared with your typical grocery store eggs (that came from chickens fed nothing but soy and corn and crowded inside “egg factories” all day long).

2.Grilled Veggies: A plate of grilled vegetables is a perfect summertime food. Side dishes to shish ka-bobs, it’s a cheap, easy and delicious way to eat healthy. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, veggies are a great replacement for the salty grease fat you’re used to. Bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, onions, tomatoes, asparagus, the list goes on and on.

3.Green Tea: Some people like it, some don’t. But if you do, this natural weight-loss stimulant is a great way to help trim down. It’s rich in antioxidants, promotes heart health, aids digestion and regulates blood sugar. It raises the metabolic rate and speeds up fat oxidation, which means you’ll burn off those Krispy Kremes that much faster. The more, the merrier; Drink it daily to boost your metabolism.

4.Whey Protein: This quick and easy food supplement is the base of many health food nuts diets for good reason. Whey protein boosts glutathione, which is one of the most important anti-oxidants in the body. It also contains natural amount of ACE inhibitors that lower blood pressure and improve heart function. Plus, whey protein keeps you satiated for longer so you don’t end up snacking on foods that wreck your diet.

5.Almonds: Almonds are a fatty food, but they can help burn body fat. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and heart-healthy fat. They are also a good source of fiber and protein. Nuts also help your body maintain good levels of fat burning hormones, as well as control your appetite and cravings so that you essentially eat less calories overall, even though you’re consuming a high-fat food.

6. Tomatoes:Tomatoes are a dieter’s best friend in all shapes and sizes. A pint of tomato juice has the same blood sugar effect as half a glass of a sugared drink. Fresh tomatoes, tomato soups and tomato sauces are all great for your waist, provided you choose the ones without added sugar). Most tomato ketchup is full of sugar. Try Whole Earth’s tomato sauce instead.

7.Cheese: According to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity, the calcium and protein that come from cheese promote weight loss and help maintain muscle mass.

8.Whole grain:Whole grain breads and cereals are a great source of fiber. They generally take a longer time and more energy to digest. Try having a bowl of whole grain cereal with skim milk for breakfast, and combining two fat-burning foods that will give your morning a fat-burning boost.

9.Salads: A quick, healthy meal that requires no cooking. Add whatever the hell you want: greens, fruits, veggies, low-fat cheese, grilled chicken – and there are plenty of low-fat salad dressings out there that don’t taste like paint. You could always use lemon juice if you don’t have any dressing handy as well.

10.Watermelon: Who doesn’t love watermelon in the summertime? Squeeze a lime over a slice for a sour punch. Sounds weird, tastes weird, but it’s awesome, it’s filling and it’s mostly water.
