Ask any health fanatic or fitness expert about fat burning or weight loss and they will tell you the same thing, “Fitness begins in the kitchen not in the gym!” This is a great way of saying that you cannot exercise bad eating habits away. It doesn’t work like that. You must train your mind and body to want healthy foods in addition to exercising.
Check out the best fat burning foods to help bolster your fat burning potential.
Walnuts
Swap those chips for a bag of walnuts. Not only are they chock full of protein, walnuts are an excellent source of Omega 3s. Omega 3 vitamins provide the good fat that our body needs to melt away those unwanted calories. Omega 3 also reduces the fat in the blood cells that causes some types of heart diseases.
Oatmeal
Start every day with a bowl of oatmeal and you will see fast results. Not only does oatmeal provide your daily source of fiber, it also reduces cholesterol and blood insulin levels. This not only improves the overall health of the body, it increases the potential for fat burning.
Raw Honey
Raw honey not only tastes better, it is also beneficial to your health. Be careful how you choose your honey. Certain types of honey is mixed with high fructose corn syrup and offers little to no health benefits, while the raw honey offers qualities that fuel your liver and stabilizes blood sugar. Honey boosts fat burning by fueling the liver to produce hormones that actually releases fat burning hormones throughout the body.
Grapefruit Diet
I know that you have heard of the grapefruit diet? Years ago, people were buying grapefruit juice by the crate, in an attempt to lose weight. While the grapefruit diet craze has died down, the benefits of the grapefruit are still very clear. Grapefruit releases insulin reducing enzymes that help regulate your blood sugar. Freshly squeezed, all natural grapefruit juice is like a fat burning pill for the body. Try it for yourself, you will be surprised. Read about the recent weight loss study using grapefruit juice as a fat burning solution.
Protein rich Eggs
Eggs offer protein and vitamins that not only burn fat, but fuel the body. Enjoy two hard-boiled egg whites every morning to increase the fat burning potential and amp up your exercise routine. Eggs offer between 8 and 12 grams of protein per serving, so don’t delay. Add a boiled egg to your morning routine and increase the muscle building, fat burning power in your workout.
