Fat Burning Foods

The Secret Weapon in getting a Flat Stomach

Fat burning foods, sometimes called negative calorie foods, are foods that burn more calories than the calorie content of the food itself, thereby fighting stored fat.

The secret to losing weight is to develop good eating habits by eating and drinking the right kinds

of foods until you are full and satisfied. If you skip meals and food, it will slow your metabolism . There are certain foods which actually burn more fat than the calorie content of the food itself.

Fat burning foods, or negative calorie foods, can be added to a diet plan to relieve the feeling of hunger without increasing the total caloric intake. However, a diet consisting solely of negative calorie foods is considered unhealthy as you will be denying your body of essencial nutrients.

This following list of fat burning foods will help you make the right choices to burn off more fat than you ingest by eating them. This helps your body burn up the excessive stored fat. If you eat these fat burning foods and add a good exercise workout program to it you will increase your metabolism and burn calories at a faster rate even several hours after your exercise is done.

Fruits:    Grapefruit,  Apples, Blueberries,  Canteloupe, Oranges,  Bananas, Peaches,  Grapes, Strawberries,  Pineapple

Vegetables:   Broccoli,  Asparagus, Spinach,  Salad greens, Tomatoes,  Peppers (green, red or yellow), Onions,  Mushrooms,  Cucumbers,  Zucchini

While not being true negative calorie foods, eggs, lean turkey/chicken, milk and cheese, tuna, salmon and other protein rich foods are great for burning fat and your body requires more calories to process protein than it does carbohydrates and fat.

Fiber rich foods like whole grains, cereals, beans/legumes, nuts and seeds help limit the number of calories you consume. Fiber rich foods take more time to digest and eating foods that are rich in fiber contributes to the "full" feeling that helps you eat less calories every meal.
