Two Effective Types of Fat Burning Foods

There are two primary types of foods that burn fat: Negative calorie foods and metabolism increasing foods. By filling your diet with these two types of fat burning foods, you’ll quickly be able to lose weight without having to starve yourself.

Before we go into these two categories of foods, I’d like to just touch on the one most effective fat burning food of all: Water.

Drinking enough water helps your body boost metabolism while suppressing hunger. Drinking water also helps your body purge toxins.

Much of the body’s toxins are stored in lipids or fat cells, which prevents fat cells from being discharged. By drinking enough water, you can reduce the toxins in the body and help get rid of a certain amount of fat.

There are far more health benefits to water than this article can possibly cover. The bottom line is, drinking water will help you lose weight more than any other food we’ll cover here. Make sure you’re getting 8 to 10 cups of water per day.

Negative Calorie Foods

Negative calorie foods are foods that take more calories to digest than the food actually has. In other words, by digesting the food, your body is actually losing weight.

Here’s a list of a few negative calorie foods:

1. Celery
2. Cabbage
3. Turnips
4. Onion
5. Apples
6. Asparagus
7. Chicory
8. Radish
9. Spinach
10. Tomato
11. Watermelon
12. Blueberries
13. Mango
14. Cucumber
15. Cauliflower
16. Beet Root
17. Peach
18. Oranges
19. Carrots
20. Lettuce
21. Pineapples
22. Zucchini

Keep in mind that the benefits of eating negative calorie foods will be offset if you eat a lot of junk foods. For example, eating a celery stick 30 minutes after eating a chocolate bar will serve almost no purpose at all.

Before using negative calorie foods to burn fats, it’s crucial that you cut out all junk foods from your diet. Empty your diet from all unnecessary calories and sugars. Then and only then will negative calorie foods really make a difference.

Metabolism Boosting Foods

Your metabolism is your body’s daily function of building up and breaking down different building blocks in the body. For example, when you eat foods, your digestive system breaks the food down and turns it into different building blocks for use in different parts of the body.

Then, these building blocks are for different purposes. ATP is used for energy and exertion. Amino acids are used to build new proteins for cells, bones and tissues.

The rate at which your body does this is called your metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate can either be fast or slow.

A person with a fast metabolic rate will break down energy quickly and expend that energy quickly. A person with a slow metabolic rate will break down energy slowly and store that energy in the form of fat in the body.

Naturally, if you want to lose weight, it’s much better to have a higher metabolic rate than a lower metabolic rate.

Here are a few foods that will stimulate your body’s metabolic rate.

Hot Chilies – Hot chilies heat up your body’s internal temperature, which in turn causes your body to speed up your metabolic rate. Though it isn’t healthy to eat chilies with every meal, eating spicy foods can help increase metabolism.

Eggs – Eggs are a high nutrition form of protein that also helps speed up the body’s metabolism.

Whey Protein – Whey is basically milk protein, minus the milk. It contains almost no fat and has very little lactose in it. It has a complete set of essential amino acids, meaning it contains all the different types of proteins your body needs. It also helps kick start metabolism into high gear.

Fat Free Yogurt – Obesity Research did a study where they found people who ate yogurt lost more weight than those who didn’t. They did this by giving one group yogurt and another group a snack with the same amount of calories as the yogurt. The yogurt group consistently lost more weight.

Note: Remember not to get sweetened yogurt. Get only the natural, generic kind.

A few more foods that speed up metabolism: Spinach, lean chicken & turkey, broccoli, salmon, tuna, raw almonds, garlic and curry.

These are a few foods known to speed up metabolism. Also note that metabolism is in large part determined by your level of activity, rather than the foods you eat. By becoming more active, your body will naturally boost its metabolism.

These are the two main types of foods that burn fat. Remove any junk foods from your diet first, then add these foods to your diet to start burning off pounds and losing weight.
