The concept that a food can be fat burning is not really complicated or difficult to understand. The most common explanation is that there are foods with so few calories,  we use more calories just by eating them than the food actually contains.  Even when we drink water, which has no calories, we burn calories just from swallowing it and warming it in our body.

Eating these foods will also naturally give our metabolism a boost, and help to stabilize insulin levels.  By starting your day with a healthy breakfast of oatmeal, for example, with low fat milk, and some fruit, you’ll have given yourself a great start to your menu for the day.

The oatmeal is full of soluble fiber which will flush bad digestive acids out of your system and help lower your cholesterol.  Digestion will take longer too, so that helps to keep insulin levels from spiking while at the same time controlling your appetite for longer.

The nutrients in these fat burning foods help to break down fatty deposits so it’s easier for your body to flush them out.  The foods we will be discussing here are loaded with nutritional value, they will help to improve your general health, and help you attain your weight loss goals.

Fruits

Apples, oranges, limes, grapefruit, tangerines, berries, melons, guava, strawberries, pears, kiwi

Fruits high in Vitamin C are known to dilute fat for more effective elimination.  Another bonus – by eating fruits that are low in calories and high in fiber, you can eat fatty foods such as cheese and meats with a lesser chance of gaining weight.

Vegetables

carrots, artichokes, eggplant, broccoli, tomatoes, celery, cabbage, cauliflower,brussel sprouts, beans, cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, portabella mushrooms, watercress, onions, garlic, peppers

Vegetables are loaded with vitamins and minerals.  They are also high in fiber, so as a result will keep you feeling full longer, while helping waste elimination.

Hot peppers have been shown to raise your metabolic rate for several hours after eating them.

Proteins

Lean cuts of meats, lean turkey or chicken, wild caught fish, eggs

Your body uses more energy to digest proteins than carbohydrates. Eating fish has been shown to adjust the levels of a hormone in your body called leptin, which studies show determines whether you store calories as fat or burn them.

Low Fat Dairy Products

Low fat or skim milk, non fat yogurt, low fat cheeses

Gives your body protein and calcium.  Helps with weight loss and maintaining muscle mass.

Barley, oats, brown rice, whole wheat breads and pastas, buckwheat, almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, sesame,sunflower, and pumpkin seeds

These foods are high in proteins, nutrients, and healthy fats, and can be eaten in conjunction with the plant foods to create complete proteins.  These high fiber foods will also keep you feeling full longer, while helping with waste elimination.  This helps to keep food from being stored as fat.
