15 Fat Burning Foods
You will be surprized if I told you that fat is being burnt by eating. It's true, however you have to stick to the foods that take more energy to digest than the calories they contain. Not only are all the entries on our list of 15 fat burning foods low in calories, they are high in nutrients and packed with flavor. Compiled in alphabetical order are 15 foods you should consider adding to your diet plan:
Apples -- Apples are nutritious and the skins are a good source of fiber. They contain pectin, a substance that helps encourage both the release of fat and blocks the absorption of too much fat.
Apple Cider Vinegar -- Next on our list is a product made from apples. Apple cider vinegar is one of the most popular home remedies in the world, used for everything from cold and cough to detoxification. An acid found in apple cider vinegar helps speed the reduction of unsightly fat.
Asparagus -- This green vegetable contains asparagine, a component that helps burn fat. Not only that, asparagus is very low in calories yet high in nutrition, making it one of the best vegetables for dieters to consume.
Beans -- Beans are on our list of fat burning foods because of their high fiber content. They are also low in calories, yet a rich source of vegetarian protein.
Beets -- These bright red vegetables can be served a variety of ways and are convenient right out of the can if you prefer canned over fresh beets. Beets contain both a natural stimulant and diuretic which helps rev the metabolism and flush waste from the body.
Berries -- Loaded with antioxidants, berries pack a nutritional wallop. Low in calories, they are perfect for any fat burning diet because they are sweet, satisfying and take more energy in calories to consume than they contain.
Cabbage -- You've probably heard of the famous cabbage diet, and for good reason. Cabbage is an excellent cleansing food because of the sulfur and iodine content, but should never be the only food a person is consuming.
Carrots -- The beta carotene in carrots may help encourage fat loss while nourishing the body. Carrots served raw or cooked are low in calories, devoid of fat and packed with nutrients.
Citrus fruits -- Citrus fruits contain pectin, just like apples. They also have high levels of vitamin C and other important nutrients. Oranges, grapefruit, lemon and lime are all great for dieters as part of a balanced nutritional plan.
Cucumbers -- Cucumbers have a cleansing effect which is why cucumber is popular in skin care products. Also, cucumbers contain a high percentage of water to hydrate the body. They have very few calories and are delicious served raw.
Garlic -- The components in garlic (such as allicin) that provide the pungent aroma and flavor may also help speed your fat loss efforts. Garlic is also good for heart health and cholesterol, and can be easily added to a wide variety of dishes.
Green Tea -- While technically a beverage, green tea is on our list because of its metabolism boosting properties. The caffeine in green tea is helps burn fat without making you jittery, and the antioxidants help eradicate harmful free radicals.
Lean Turkey -- Turkey is rich in protein, and the perfect poultry for dieters. The only thing to remember is to stick with lean white meat cuts and avoid fatty areas of the bird.
Lettuce -- When choosing lettuce, go for the green. The richer and darker the green hue, the more nutritious the lettuce. Green leaf and romaine are two examples of low calorie lettuce that nourishes the body while helping burn fat in the digestive process.
Onions -- Similar to garlic in chemical makeup, onions are great for dieters because they also have fat burning capabilities. They are nutritious, and add flavor to a variety of foods.
