Foods that Burn Fat

By Jermaco Helelad

For those looking to lose weight and boost their metabolism, there are many healthy and nutritious foods that actually help your body lose weight naturally. Adding some or all of these foods into your diet can help you lose weight faster and eventually lead to a healthier lifestyle. These foods burn more calories to digest than other foods, helping you burn fat just by eating.

Lean Turkey. Lean cuts of turkey are rich in protein which can give your metabolism an instant boost, by helping to build muscle, which burns more calories. Avoid processed deli-style turkey and instead choose fresh, boneless and skinless varieties.

Oatmeal. Eating oatmeal for breakfast will provide you with a rich source of cholesterol-fighting, soluble fiber. Oatmeal helps you feel fuller longer and provides you the energy you need to make it through the day. Steel cut or rolled oats have the maximum amount of fiber. Avoid instant oatmeal, since it contains less fiber and usually has added sugar.

Grapefruit. Clinical studies have shown that the unique chemical properties in grapefruit reduce the body?s insulin levels, which leads to weight loss. It helps dissolve fat and cholesterol. However, before adding grapefruit to your diet, you should check with your doctor first because grapefruit may interfere with the efficacy of certain medications.

Apples. Apples contain pectin, a chemical typically found in berries and fresh fruit, especially apples. Pectin restricts the amount of fat your cells can absorb. Pectin binds with water and helps cells release fat deposits. Fresh fruit like apples also contain rich sources of soluble fiber. This kind of fiber helps you feel fuller for longer and prevents dangerous drops in blood sugar levels.

Broccoli. Various studies have linked calcium and weight loss. Broccoli is an excellent source of calcium and it is packed with vitamin C which assists the body?s calcium absorption. Broccoli also contains vitamin A, folate, and fiber. At just 20 calories per cup, broccoli not only fights fat but also boosts your body?s immunity system.

Low-Fat Yogurt. Adding low-fat dairy products like yogurt to your diet can also help you lose weight. People who consume 3 to 4 servings of low-fat dairy products per day usually lose more weight than dieters who did not consume any low-fat dairy products. A single serving of low-fat yogurt is rich in calcium and fat-burning protein.

Soybeans. Soybeans are rich in a chemical called lecithin that protects cells from accumulating fat. The lecithin in soybeans can also help break down fatty deposits in the body. - 17269
