A while ago, at the gym, a couple of guys approached the fitness instructor asking for some tips to help lose weight. After they chatted for a while, the instructor wrote down a list of fat burning food and gave it to them. After a while, I went up to the fitness instructor, asked him for the same list of fat burning foods, and got his permission to put it Online.
What you'll notice about these fat burning foods is that they are high in fibre (meaning that you'll remain full for a longer period of time), they can reduce your cholesterol levels (cholesterol is basically fat), speed up your metabolism rate(helping you burn more calories for a longer period of time) and have numerous disease preventing abilities. So basically, this list of fat burning foods has huge health benefits.
- Apples (increases blood sugar levels for a longer period of time, hence keeping you full for longer)
- Wholemeal Bread (also known as Whole Grain Bread, it is high in fibre)
- Coffee (speeds up your metabolism rate but make sure you take it in moderation)
- Grapefruit (lowers cholesterol levels)
- Mustard (speeds up metabolism rate)
- Peppers (speeds up metabolism rate)
- Potatoes (great source of fibre, and they also help to lower cholesterol levels)
- Vegetable Soups (high in fibre)
- Spinach (lowers cholesterol levels and speeds up your metabolism rate)
- Tofu (speeds up metabolism rate and lowers cholesterol levels)
- Barley (high in fibre)
- Beans (high protein, while at the same time low in fat)
- Berries (high in fibre)
- Buckwheat (lowers cholesterol levels)
- Corn (lowers cholesterol levels)
- Cottage Cheese (low in fat)
- Figs (high in fibre)
- Fish (lowers cholesterol levels)
- Onions (lower cholesterol levels)
- Tomatoes (high in fibre)
- Fruits (high in fibre)
- Greens (high in fibre)
Now then, this list of fat burning foods is in no way limited to just these foods. But, these foods are extremely helpful in helping people lose weight because, as I mentioned earlier, they are either high in fibre, help to reduce cholesterol levels or help to increase your metabolism rate. And this is why this list of fat burning foods which I got from the fitness instructor is so useful.
