Top Three Foods For Fat Burning

By Mike Francis

One thing I have noticed while serving as a professional Nutrition specialist, is that most of my customers are amazed when they find out what foods I would recommend for fat burning.

And not only are the foods that I recommend delicious, they are useful in helping to keep weight under control, and they actually help to burn fat.

I'm going to leave out the obvious ones - fruit and vegetables. I don't want to bore you by mentioning these - we all know thay they are beneficial. But I would like to take a look a some foods that are not only very tasty, but play a vital part is the fat burning process.

1. Egg yolks. Yes, I mean those eggs that you may have heard about - how they are so filled with cholesterol and fat. Well, let me set the record straight - the eggs will increase your cholesterol, but it's the good cholesterol. They help to keep the balance with fat, and the free-range eggs are exceptionally good, because of the high omega-3 content.

Egg yolks are a good source of vitamins and they also contain minerals and other nutrient traces. To give a full list of what these are, would take about a page. You can rest assured that the yolk of the egg is where the goodness is.

So enjoy those eggs and know that you are helping in the fight against belly fat. Eggs are one of my favourite foods " I was relieved to know that I dont need to give them up.

2. Avocados " Another example of a so-called fatty food which actually helps in burning fat! And they can be enjoyed with other foods " they make everything creamier and tastier. And the avocado is packed with healthy fats as well as fiber and antioxidants. They are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and they help to control appetite and release the bodys 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 plus with grass-fed beef,is that it contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). This is one of the "healthy fats", and it helps to build muscle and burn fat.

So go ahead and enjoy that delicious beef " just watch that its the grass-fed type. It will help you in your attempts to burn fat. You dont need to listen to the claims about beef being a fatty food " you know better now. - 17273
