7 Fat Burning Foods that Burn Your Body Fat Inside Out

By Thong M. Dao

Specialists have found two primary categories of fat burning foods. Can you guess the first one? If you said "fiber", you're correct. Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber. Fiber offers a huge benefit, they fill our bottomless pits and reduce calories 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.

In order for the body to burn fat faster, we need a metabolism boost. And that's what protein can do quite well. There is one drawback, however. Too much protein adds more weight. Be careful, we want to lose weight, not gain weight.

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

1. Green tea. Researchers have found that green tea has catechins - phytochemicals that enhance weight loss by forcing the body to burn more calories and shed off body fat. Enjoy your drink!

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

3. Low-calorie green salads. Let's start off by saying "please, do not load your low-calorie salads with croutons, fatty dressings and cheese", or it will be counter-productive. I highly recommend you add high fiber content such as sunflower seeds. This way you will curb any cravings later.

4.Yogurt. Not any kind, but low-fat yogurt. It is a great way to help you out with those stomach growling moments. Low-fat yogurt offers the protein and carbohydrates that your body needs as you are heading down the path to a healthy living.

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. Water. You may know water takes up most of the earth. And it's the same for your body. Without water your body will dehydrate. If you don't like water by itself, try adding the following items: lemon, lime, watermelon, or unsweetened flavoring. Remember to ask yourself, as you're heading to the fridge, "have I watered my body properly today?".

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. To some it tastes like cardboard but high-fiber, whole-grain cereal will give your body a jump start. Don't knock it until you try. Whole grains help enhance fiber and your daily nutritional intake. No time for breakfast? A bowl of cereal will get the job done.

I hope the above fat burning foods list can help. - 17273
