Three Best Foods To Help With Fat Burning

By Mary Francis

In all of my time working as a professional Nutrition Specialist, it has come to my attention that most people are very surprised to hear some of my picks for the top fat burning foods.

These foods, as well as being some of the tastiest foods available,are helpful in fighting against unwanted fat. They do a good job in the whole process of fat burning.

I won't bore you by listing the usual healthy foods like vegetables " everyone knows about these, right. (And fruit, of course). I want to show you some that are tasty, super healthy, and great for fat loss.

1. Egg yolks. Yes, Im talking about those eggs, with all the fat and cholesterol. Actually, if you have heard that eggs raise cholesterol, thats not correct. In fact, they increase good cholesterol and help to keep the balance with fat. The free-range types are especially good, with their high omega-3 content.

Yolks of eggs are also a rich source of vitamins, as well as minerals and other trace nutrients. To give a complete list of these would take up a lot of space, maybe a full page. Suffice it to say that egg whites are not to be favoured instead of yolks!

So it's OK to continue eating eggs, and enjoy them. That was a great relief to me when I first heard it - they are one of my favourite foods and I would certainly miss them!

2. Avocados - another example of a food that has a reputation as a "fatty" food, but actually is very effective in helping to burn off fat. That is surprising, because of the natur eof the food - so rich and creamy, and of course it's a delicious additive for salads or even dessert dishes. But they are full of "healthy fats" and antioxidants and they are also rich in fiber. They're also a great source of minerals and vitamins, and they can help to curb one's appetite, and they help in the production of fat-burning hormones.

3. Grass-fed beef - When you buy beef in the grocery store, it is usually the grain-fed type that you get. But the grass-fed type is far superior. It's similar to the situation with free-range chickens - the animals are healthier, and the meat (as well as being much tastier) contains more of the omega-3 type fatty acids than the omega-6 type. And it's the omega-3 type that is best at fighting off belly fat.

Another important element of grass-fed beef is conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a healthy fat. It helps both to build muscle and burn fat.

So enjoy that beef and don't listen to the nay-sayers, who would claim that it's fatty food and should be avoided. You now know that the opposite is the case. Just make sure that it is the grass-fed variety, and you can't go wrong. - 17273
