To burn fat faster you might want to simply think back to that
old teacher you had back in elementary school preaching "you are what
you eat so you better finish that spinach." Well, who knew she was
simply a nutritional genius in hiding?
The foods you consume today
have more of an impact given the environmental and physical effects our
modern society has on food supplies today. Also, the foods we eat have a
profound effect on the way our body stores and burns fat.
There are a handful of foods that help our bodies become more of a fat burning furnace by helping to create a calorie deficiency and also by the way in which our bodies utilize them internally to burn fat faster.
Here is Your Power 5:
1) Cottage Cheese - This has been a best friend to anyone wanting to lose weight and burn fat faster. Of course always go with the low fat and organic brands if you can. It has tons of protein and 80-100 calories for up to a half cup normally. For a different taste, throw in some blueberries or strawberries for a tasty antioxidant boost.
2) Oatmeal - A favorite of bodybuilders for eons, oatmeal gets a bad rap because some say it's bland or tasteless. Certainly an opinion no doubt, but oatmeal boasts a ton of protein and fiber which help you feel fuller longer. Oatmeal also helps your body keep its insulin levels in check which helps burn fat faster while keeping your body from storing fat as well.
3) Whole Eggs - Eggs have really gotten a bad rap by the "too much cholesterol" crowds of a few years ago. Much of this was simply misplaced negative energy that has since been denounced by most nutritionists.
Whole eggs are an awesome source of protein which assists your body in building muscle, which in turn helps crank up the fat burning furnace within your body. Always remember if you're already at risk for heart disease or high cholesterol, just be careful and practice moderation.
4) Peppers - A great metabolism booster food, just make sure you buy organic. Peppers have very porous skin and pesticides penetrate them very easily. Red Chilies are especially good at boosting your metabolism in short bursts, therefore burning fat faster. They are great for salads but don't forget to add them to other foods such as brown rice to add flavor as well.
5) Apples - Probably my personal favorite. The apple seems magical in its ability to do great things. Not only is it very portable, but it also has a lot of fiber and really works wonders in the digestion area. Some detox and cleansing recipes call for nothing but apples or the juice of fresh apples simply because of their ability to "clean out" the gut. Also the LDL cholesterol (bad), in your body can be lowered by the pectin in apples giving it just one more reason to make it a frequent favorite at your house.
Utilize these 5 power foods in your fat burning arsenal and get your metabolism cranking like never before. The concept of eating right has been convoluted by so many pushing their own brand of "unhealthy diet food mixtures".
To burn fat faster, keep it a simple process. Just remember, it's like Jillian Michaels said, "Only eat it if it had a mother or came from the ground."
