Eat Your Way to Weight Loss

How Fat Burning Foods Help You Lose Weight

• The fat burning foods help in utilization of digestive energy of the body to lose weight.

• The water content in fruits boosts blood-oxygenation levels of the body. This prepares body to burn existing glucose store.

• Certain non-vegetarian fat burning foods increases release of glucagon, a fat digesting secretion, which uses stored fat inside the body to burn consumed fat.

Vegetarian Fat Burning Foods
Fruit choices include the entire citrus family- lemons, oranges, blueberries, strawberries and cranberries. We can also take a pick from watermelon, papaya, grapes, pineapple, prunes, pomegranate and apricots.

The vegetables that burn fat include pumpkin, celery, parsley, spinach leaves, onions, tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower and lettuce.

Non-Vegetarian Fat Burning Foods
Meats are fatty foods but lean meat can help you burn fat. Other choices in non-vegetarian fat burning foods are mussel, clam, shrimp, oyster, crab and lobster.

Dairy products are significant Fat Burners
According to a report from Professor Michael Zemel, Nutrition and Medicine University of Tennessee, "If you compare a dairy-rich versus a dairy-poor diet you can nearly double the rate of weight and fat loss with the same level of calorie restriction."

This suggests that dairy products like milk and yogurt accelerate fat metabolism, contrary to modern day reputation of milk.

Soups and Juices are not Fat Burners
Soups and juices are often made part of diet plans but they don’t burn fat since body hardly spends much energy to digest them. For example, raw orange will make body work out to digest the pulp and the fiber content it carries, unlike orange juice.
