Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too: 10 Super Fat Burning Foods

Have your cake and eat it to: 10 super fat burning foods All we ever hear about is how we want to shed those pesky pounds but don't want to give up delicious foods. Here are 10 sure-fire super fat burning foods to add to your diet.

1. Apples and berries

   

   Apples and berries contain an ingredient called pectin which enables your cells to absorb less fat because of their water binding properties. An apple a day keeps the doctor (and fat) away.

2. Dairy

   Bet you never thought your everyday breakfast of cereal and milk could help you shed those pounds. Dairy rich products including low-fat or skim milk as well as low-fat yogurt or cheese contain protein and calcium to help maintain weigh loss and are essential for strong muscles.

3. Garlic

   We all know that strong smell of garlic however one tiny clove is packed with all your ingredients to boost your metabolism and lowers your body's insulin levels to maximize the fat burning process.

4. Citrus fruits

   Oranges are so versatile because they can be peeled, juiced, or eaten fresh. These high vitamin C fruits help the body to burn fat more effectively because it dilutes the fat with water making it more difficult to store in the body's fat cells.

5. Cayenne pepper

   Because of its intensely hot and spicy flavor cayenne pepper causes a thermodynamic reaction to occur in the body known as sweating which continues to burn calories long after eating.

6. Beans

   They help to boost metabolism and naturally help the body decrease fat storage production. Limit refried and baked beans because they are loaded with fat and sugar.

7. Eggs

   They are an excellent source of protein and aid in the production of fat burning.

8. Wholegrains

   “I'm on a no carb diet” is the familiar phrase of today however if you obliterate them from your diet completely your body will crave them. The key is to eat whole grain foods that have not been processed and contain the fiber and minerals your body needs to promote weight loss.

9. Lean meats

   They are great for building lean muscle, boosting the immune systems as well as metabolism. Tuna and Salmon are great sources of omega 3 fatty acids which are actually very healthy.

10. Olive oil

    This type of oil is rich in monounsaturated fats which is a good fat and helps to keep bad cholesterol levels down. So start your morning with a glass of extra virgin olive oil instead of O.J.
