List of 7 Fat Burning Foods - Let Foods Burn Fat For You

By Thong M. Dao

Experts say there are two basic categories of foods that can be considered fat burning foods because they fill the tummy without piling on the calories: fruits and vegetables. And what nutrient gives fruits and vegetables that power? Fiber.

Fat burning foods like fruits and vegetables contain fiber. Therefore, fiber might well be the fat burning nutrient. Now do you know the second category? Let me give you a clue, the best fat burning food that curbs your appetite. Hmm... could it be protein?

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 list of smart, low-calorie fat burning foods is as follows.

1. Green tea. Researchers have found that green tea has catechins - phytochemicals that enhance weight loss by forcing the body to burn more calories and shed off body fat. Enjoy your drink!

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. Let's start off by saying "please, do not load your low-calorie salads with croutons, fatty dressings and cheese", or it will be counter-productive. I highly recommend you add high fiber content such as sunflower seeds. This way you will curb any cravings later.

4. Low-fat yogurt, not cream cheese. Some dairy foods such as low-fat yogurt help in weight loss. It is wonderful for mid-day snack and provides the nutrients your body needs, like protein and carbohydrates.

5. Beans. A great combination of fiber and protein, beans help us feel full longer, which means they may work to curb our between-meal appetite.

6. Not just water, but your lifeline. Water is highly important to your body. You must drink water, like it or not. And you can always spice it up. Have you ever considered placing a couple of sliced peaches or oranges in your water? The most commonly used are lemon, limes or unsweetened flavor packets. The more you drink, the more your body loves you.

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. - 17269
