7 Fat Burning Foods that Burn Your Body Fat Inside Out

By Thong M. Dao

Scientists believe there are two essential elements in fat burning foods. One of them is fiber. Fruits and vegetables have lots of fiber. Consuming fruits and vegetables gives a filling sensation and the best part is a decrease in caloric intake.

So, if fruits and vegetables are called the fat burning food, fiber may well be the fat burning nutrient. Protein is another best fat burning food. It's becoming more scientifically accepted that protein may help to curb appetite.

Protein accelerates your metabolism which allows the body to burn fat faster. On the negative side of the coin, you must be careful with consumption of protein. Consuming too much protein will cause you to gain weight instead of lose weight and we do not want that to happen.

Check out the following list of fat burning foods. These choices will help you shed the fat off pretty fast.

1. Green tea. Researchers find that the catechins (helpful phytochemicals) in green tea may trigger weight loss by stimulating the body to burn calories and mildly decrease body fat. So indulge in either a hot cup or a nice tall iced glass of green tea.

2. Broth- or tomato-based soups. Soups can help reduce hunger before meals and increase feeling of fullness.

3. Low-calorie green salads. The trick to a low-calorie green salad is to leave out croutons, dressing and cheese. The first course of your meal should be a green salad. This will help you feel full faster. Picking a high fiber course will also cut back cravings later.

4. Low-fat yogurt. Including dairy products as part of a healthy diet may promote our weight loss efforts. Choosing a light yogurt may help fight off hunger pangs due to its combination of protein and carbohydrate.

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. Whole grains in general help boost fiber and the nutritional value of our meals. One of the easiest ways to give the daily diet a whole-grain boost is to have a bowl of high-fiber whole-grain cereal as breakfast or a snack.

I hope the above fat burning foods list can help. - 17274
