Foods That Burn Fat

This recommended list of “fat-burning foods,” also known in the Burn the Fat. There are lots of variety in your food choices is nearly infinite, here are the staple foods that should make up the foundation of your diet program. Variety is important, but these are the foods you can’t go wrong with and the ones you’ll keep coming back to time after time.

Some of them are:

1. Oatmeal
If you had to eat one and only one type of complex carbohydrate to burn fat than oatmeal should become your first choice for losing fat.

• Oatmeal is one of the best carbohydrate food that virtually 100% of all fitness models eat on a daily basis.
• It’s a starchy carbohydrate.
• Oatmeal has a nice balance between crabs, protein and good fat.
• A half a cup contains 3 grams of fat, 27 grams of crabs and 5 grams of protein.
• The low glycemic index, combined with the presence of protein and fat makes oatmeal a very slowly released crab – exactly what you’re looking for when you want to get lean.
• Stay away from the sweetened and or flavored oatmeal packets.
• Oatmeal is delicious with natural (sugar free) applesauce and cinnamon. Or, try some crushed walnuts or flaxseed in your morning oats.

2. Egg whites:
The name of the game in fat-burning nutrition is to eat a lean protein with every meal. With zero fat, egg whites are as lean as lean proteins get.

• Eggs are loaded with protein, B-vitamins and trace minerals.
• Egg whites are right up there with chicken breasts as one of the top three lean proteins of choice for losing fat and gaining muscle.
• Eggs are super-high quality protein. The problem with whole eggs is the high fat and calorie content.
• 100% of the fat is in the yolk, while the protein is split evenly between the yolk and the white. This doesn’t’ mean you have to throw out all your yolks, but it does mean you should limit your yolks.

One yolk for every six whites you eat. Just crack them and separate the yolk from the white using the edge of the shell. Or, you can use “Egg Beaters” or another packaged egg white product.

3. Green fibrous vegetables:

Fibrous crabs are your number one choice for fat burning carbohydrates.

• Vegetables are so effective for fat loss is that they provide “bulk” to the diet but add very few calories.
• Green vegetables, also known as fibrous crabs, hardly contain any calories (they have a low calorie density). It’s virtually impossible to overeat green vegetables.
• Eat them liberally and eat more of them late in the day.
• A diet of green vegetables combined with lean proteins is one of the best methods of getting lean as quickly as possible.

4. 100% whole wheat and whole grain products:

The “baseline diet” can and should contain a wide variety of bread products with one condition. They must be made from 100% whole grains.

• White bread and anything made out of white flour is not allowed in any quantity on this program (except the occasional planned “cheat meal”). If you’re particularly cab-sensitive, then bread – even the whole wheat variety – is one of the first things to go.
• A small handful of people – usually one in 200, depending on what source you listen to – have sensitivity to the gluten in the wheat.
• Gluten is a protein found in wheat products and, much like lactose intolerance from dairy products, gluten intolerance can cause digestive difficulties and bloating in certain individuals.
• Drop out all the pasta and bread products for the 12-16 week dieting period before a contest, then usually put them back in for off-season maintenance.
• Wheat and bread products are usually eliminated completely.
• 100% whole wheat and other whole grains are perfectly acceptable additions to a healthy diet for long term body composition control, it just depends on how “strict” you want or need to be with your nutrition.

5. Potatoes:

Potatoes have earned an undeserved reputation as a food to avoid on a fat loss program.

• Potatoes are low in calories.
• Potatoes meet every criteria of a great carbohydrate: potatoes are a complex crab.
• Potatoes contain fiber, vitamins and minerals. They are filling.
• Potatoes are all-natural.

So why do people avoid them? One reason is because they confuse a dry potato with a loaded potato. Smother a potato with butter, sour cream and bacon bits and then you’ve got yourself a fattening, calorie-dense ensemble. Eat it dry or top it with Butter sprinkles, salsa or your favorite low fat, low calorie topping and you can’t go wrong.
