If you're serious about losing weight, working out as well as eating the right kinds of food are the best things you can do. You can certainly speed things up just by incorporating these 15 fat burning foods into your everyday diet.

* Peppers - These are probably the most recognized fat burning foods in existence. They may be no bigger than an ice cube, but they're crammed with thermogenic properties like no other.

* Garlic - I put garlic in almost every dish I prepare; they're that good. If they're too strong for you, try chopping them into little pieces before adding them to your food. You won't even notice they're there and you still get to acquire all the fat burning benefits.

* Ginger - This is another fat burner that can easily be added to your favorite beverages and food.

* Parsley - It does a lot of good for your circulatory system. Keeps your breath minty cool, too.

* Berries - They gratify your taste buds while decreasing calorie absorption.

* Cabbage - Perfect for soups, cabbage is said to be a longevity food that's rich in fiber.

* Lemons - Just a teeny tablespoon of its juice everyday will help you even out your cravings and insulin levels.

* Brussels Sprouts - These cabbage-like thermogenic foods are filled with vitamins and fat burning properties that boost your metabolism.

* Cauliflower and Broccoli - These calcium-rich faves are great sources of thermogenic properties (and they taste good, too).

* Green Tea - Before any meal, take a glass of hot or iced green tea. It will help in the digestion of your food and you'll be left feeling quite refreshed.

* Apple Cider Vinegar - Lose the fat and gain a lot from apple cider vinegar's weight-loss properties.

* Mustard - It's the best alternative to ketchup. Thermogenic foods like mustard are usually overlooked, but their fat burning properties are simply surprising.

* Cinnamon - Add a whole stick to your tea or chop them up and mix them with yogurt. You've got yourself a fat burningly healthy yet yummy dessert.

You can find these thermogenic foods almost anywhere. Before you dash out the door to buy some, make sure you don't already have them in your kitchen. Take advantage of these fat burning foods and start eating your way to a smoking hot body. - 17273
