Fat-Burning Foods

[HeadChef]

Just wanna share this information I got from another poster of another forum. Very informative and useful.

The Pros of Protein

Foods that are high in protein can help your body burn calories. That's because protein takes more energy to digest than fat. So the more protein you eat, the more calories and fat you burn. Snack on high-protein foods like lean turkey slices, seafood, low-fat or fat-free cheese, and foods made from soy protein (like faux chicken strips and veggie patties).


Fat-Attacking Citrus Fruit

Experts say keeping blood sugar steady (avoiding spikes and dips) is key for fighting off fat-storing hormones and revving up the fat-burning ones. And studies have shown that vitamin C boosts your fat-burning ability as well. That makes insulin-blocking grapefruit, which is high in vitamin C, an ideal food for banishing fat. If snacking on grapefruit straight doesn't do it for you, try sprinkling some no-calorie sweetener like Splenda on it. Or toss a few pieces of the stuff into your salad for a tropical twist.


Whole Grain Heros

A recent Penn State study found that whole grain eaters were able to blast more belly fat than those who didn't chomp on whole grains! Get a whole grain fix with pretty much anything from the folks at Kashi or with some Quaker oatmeal. You might be surprised to know that even Quaker's instant oatmeal is made from whole grain oats. And check out Quaker Simple Harvest Instant Multigrain Hot Cereal in Apples with Cinnamon (1 packet = 150 calories, 1.5g fat, 4g fiber -- POINTS® value 2*). Packed with THREE types of whole grains and lots of flavor, it's a tasty way to burn fat any time of day.


Dairy Does It!

Research shows that people who regularly consume low-fat or fat-free dairy lose way more weight than those who don't. Experts say it's the combination of protein and calcium that makes it a fat-burning phenomenon.

Hey Headchef Thank you so much for sharing this info. it is all true. I love calcium!!! And protein and fats (the good ones like in avacados and safflower oil, and olive oil and real butter and fresh 2%milk) A good diet is so satisfying and all things in moderation! Fresh fruit is so much better for you than sugary sweet snack food and salt in moderation, thankfully you can now purchase peanuts with no salt or light salt. There are many reasons to eat right, and none to eat wrong!

This is true. Eating whole grain products will help in reducing the excess weight. Besides that leafy vegetables also help greatly and this should be followed with carrots and fruits can be taken.
