Fat Burning Foods

EGGPLANT

Each one of the following foods is clinically proven to promote weight loss. These foods go a step beyond simply adding no fat to your system – they possess special properties that add zip to your system and help your body melt away unhealthy pounds. (“Food to promote weight loss. | ABS”)

“These incredible foods can suppress your appetite for junk food and keep your body running smoothly with clean fuel and efficient energy.” (“Peppers For Weight loss – Live Healthy….Stay Happy”)

You can include these foods in any sensible weight-loss plan. They give your body the extra metabolic kick that it needs to shave off weight quickly. (“11 Fat Burning Foods – NUTRI N DIET”)

A sensible weight loss plan calls for at least 1,200 calories per day. (“healthy food to lose weight”) “But Dr. Charles Klein recommends consuming more than that, if you can believe it – 1,500 to 1,800 calories per day.” (“best healthy food list for weight loss”) “He says you will still lose weight quite effectively at that intake level without endangering your health.” (“36 Potent Foods to Lose Weight Live Healthy”)

Hunger is satisfied more completely by filling the stomach. Ounce for ounce, the foods listed below accomplish that better than any others. (“11 Fat Burning Foods – NUTRI N DIET”) At the same time, they are rich in nutrients and possess special fatmelting talents.

Apples

These marvels of nature deserve their reputation for keeping the doctor away when you eat one a day. And now, it seems, they can help you melt the fat away, too. (“11 Fat Burning Foods – NUTRI N DIET”)

First, they elevate your blood glucose (sugar) levels in a safe, gentle manner and keep them up longer than most foods. The practical effect of this is to leave you feeling satisfied longer, say researchers. (“How You Can Burn Your Fats.”)

Secondly, they are one of the richest sources of soluble fiber in the supermarket. “This type of fiber prevents hunger pangs by guarding against dangerous swings or drops in your blood sugar level, says Dr. James Anderson of the University of Kentucky’s School of Medicine.” (“Fat Burning Foods – Worthy Lifespan”)

An average size apple provides only eighty-one calories and has no sodium, saturated fat, or cholesterol. You will also get the added health benefits of lowering the level of cholesterol already in your blood as well as lowering your blood pressure. (“Detox and Rehab Healthy Food”)

Whole Grain Bread

You need not dread bread. It is the butter, margarine, or cream cheese you put on it that’s fattening, not the bread itself. We will say this as often as needed – fat is fattening. If you do not believe that, ponder this – a gram of carbohydrate has four calories, a gram of protein four, and a gram of fat nine. So, which of these is really fattening? (“Fat burning foods – Weight Loss”)

“Bread, a natural source of fiber and complex carbohydrates, is okay for dieting.” (“Fat Burning Foods – Worthy Lifespan”) Norwegian scientist Dr. Bjarne Jacobsen found that people who eat less than two slices of bread daily weigh about eleven pounds more that those who eat a lot of bread.

Studies at Michigan State University show some breads reduce the appetite. Researchers compared white bread to dark, high-fiber bread and found that students who ate twelve slices a day of the dark, high-fiber bread felt less hunger daily and lost five pounds in two months. Others who ate white bread were hungrier, ate more fattening foods and lost no weight during this time. (“Fat Burning Foods – Worthy Lifespan”)

So, the key is eating dark, rich, high-fiber breads such as pumpernickel, whole wheat, mixed grain, oatmeal, and others. The average slice of whole grain bread contains only 60 to 70 calories, is rich in complex carbohydrates – the best, steadiest fuel you can give your body – and delivers surprising amount of protein. (“Fat Burning Foods – Worthy Lifespan”)

Coffee

Easy does it is the password here. We have all heard about potential dangers of caffeine – including anxiety and insomnia – so moderation is the key. The caffeine in coffee can speed up the metabolism. In nutritional circles, it is known as a metabolic enhancer, according to Dr. Judith Stern of the University of California at Davis. (“36 Fat Burning Foods You Should Know About » Flat Belly Bible”)

This makes sense since caffeine is a stimulant. Studies show it can help you burn more calories than normal, up to 10 percent more. For safety’s sake, it is best to limit your intake to a single cup in the morning and one in the afternoon. Add only skim milk to it and try doing without sugar – many people learn to love it that way. (“11 Fat Burning Foods – NUTRI N DIET”)

Grapefruit

There’s good reason for this traditional diet food to be a regular part of your diet. It helps dissolve fat and cholesterol, according to Dr. James Cerd of the University of Florida. (“Cliff Notes – Casey Shipp”) An average sized grapefruit has seventy-four calories, delivers a whopping fifteen grams of pectin (the special fiber linked to lowering cholesterol and fat), is high in vitamin C and potassium and is free of fat and sodium.

It is rich in natural galacturonic acid, which adds to its potency as a fat and cholesterol fighter. The additional benefit here is assistance in the battle against atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and the development of heart disease. Try sprinkling it with cinnamon rather than sugar to take away some of the tart taste.

Mustard

Try the hot, spicy kind you find in Asian import stores, specialty shops and exotic groceries. Dr. Jaya Henry of Oxford Polytechnic Institute in England found that the amount of hot mustard normally called for in Mexican, Indian, and Asian recipes, about one teaspoon, temporarily speeds up the metabolism, just as caffeine and the drug ephedrine do.

“But mustard is natural and totally safe,” Henry says. “It can be used every day, and it really works. I was shocked to discover it can speed up the metabolism by as much as 20 to 25 percent for several hours.” (“Lose Weight & Live Healthy”) This can result in the body burning an extra forty-five calories for every seven hundred consumed, Dr. Henry says.

Peppers

Hot, spicy chili peppers fall into the same category as hot mustard, Henry says. He studied them under the same circumstances as the mustard and they worked just as well. A mere three grams of chili peppers were added to a meal consisting of 766 total calories. The peppers’ metabolism-raising properties worked like a charm, leading to what Henry calls a diet-induced thermic effect. (“Peppers For Weight loss – Live Healthy….Stay Happy”) It does not take much to create the effect.

Most salsa recipes call for four to eight chilies – that is not a lot. (“How to get healthier?: Five Fat Burning Foods”)

Peppers are astonishingly rich in vitamins A and C, abundant in calcium, phosphorus, iron, and magnesium, high in fiber, free of fat, low in sodium and have just 24 calories per cup.

Potatoes

We must be kidding, right? Wrong. Potatoes have developed the same “fattening” rap as bread, and it is unfair. (“Lose Weight & Live Healthy: 7. Potatoes”) Dr. John McDougal, director of the nutritional medicine clinic at St. Helena Hospital in Deer Park, California, says, “An excellent food with which to achieve rapid weight loss is the potato, at 0.6 calories per gram or about 85 calories per potato.” A reliable source of fiber and potassium, they lower cholesterol and protect against strokes and heart disease.

Preparation and toppings are crucial. Avoid butter, milk and sour cream, or you’ll blow it; opt for yogurt instead.

Rice

An entire weight-loss plan, simple called the Rice Diet, was developed by Dr. William Kempner at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The diet, dating to the 1930’s, makes rice the staple of your food intake. Later, you gradually mix in various fruits and vegetables. It produces stunning weight loss and medical results. (“11 Fat Burning Foods – NUTRI N DIET”) The diet has been shown to reverse and cure kidney ailments and high blood pressure.

A cup of cooked rice (150 grams) contains about 178 calories – one-third the number of calories found in an equivalent amount of beef or cheese. “And remember, whole grain rice is much better for you than white rice.” (“Fat Burning Foods for Weight Loss”)

Soups

Soup is good for you! Not the canned varieties from the store – but oldfashioned, homemade soup promotes weight loss. A study by Dr. John Foreyt of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, found that dieters who ate a bowl of soup before lunch and dinner lost more weight than dieters who did not. In fact, the more soup they ate, the more weight they lost. (“Fat burning foods – Weight Loss”) “And soup eaters tend to keep the weight off longer.” (“11 Fat Burning Foods – NUTRI N DIET”)

Naturally, the type of soup you eat is effective. Cream soups or those made of beef or pork are not your best bets.

But here is a great recipe: Slice three large onions, three carrots, four stalks of celery, one zucchini and one yellow squash. (“Calaméo – list of fat burning foods that will help you …”) Place in a kettle. Add three cans crushed tomatoes, two packets low sodium chicken bouillon, three cans water and one cup white wine (optional). (“36 Foods for Vitality by Beau Mannix – Issuu”) Add tarragon, basil, oregano, thyme, and garlic powder. Boil, then simmer for an hour. Serves six.

Spinach

Popeye really knew what he was talking about, according to Dr. Richard Shekelle, an epidemiologist at the University of Texas. Spinach could lower cholesterol, rev up the metabolism and burn away fat. (“Fat burning foods – Weight Loss”) Rich in iron, beta carotene and vitamins C and E, it supplies most of the nutrients you need.

Tofu

You just cannot say enough about this health food from Asia. Also called soybean curd, it is tasteless, so any spice or flavoring you add blends with it nicely. (“Fat Burning Foods – Worthy Lifespan”) A two½” square has eighty-six calories and nine grams of protein. (Experts suggest an intake of about forty grams per day.)

Tofu contains calcium and iron, almost no sodium and not a bit of saturated fat. It makes your metabolism run on high and even lowers cholesterol. With different varieties available, the firmer tofu’s are goof for stir-frying or adding to soups and sauces while the softer ones are good for mashing, chopping, and adding to salads.
