How Do Fat Burning Foods Work?

Fat burning foods are foods that feed the muscles and food that whilst being absorbed trigger the body’s hormones to burn fat rather than storing it.

Foods that burn Fat – an Introduction:

The human body stores energy in either Sugar, Glycogen or Fat.  When energy is needed the first energy reserve that is used is sugar.  Sugar is the form of energy that is the easiest for the body to utilize as energy. Sugar is stored in the blood and when the blood sugar reserves are depleted, the next reserve where energy is withdrawn from, is Glycogen.

Glycogen is stored in muscle tissue and in the liver.  The body changes Glycogens into Sugar and then burn that into energy.  Glycogens are readily available as energy source.  Fat is the more permanent storage of energy.  Fat is stored mostly on the outside of the muscle tissue, underneath the skin.  This energy is compacted and is not easily released for the body to be used as energy.

Food as an Energy Source:

Certain foods tend to provide easy accessible energy and other foods tend to be harder to utilize as energy and eventually get stored for later use.

We can differentiate these in 3 basic food groups:

Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat…etc etc etc …

Now for what you need to know…

Foods that Burn Fat are full of nutrients that keeps the body healthy but they are so much more important because they help the body to burn fat naturally.

Burning Body Fat is in itself something your body do for a living. Burning fat into energy and Foods that Burn Fat is food that contains the different fat burning nutrients so that the body utilize energy, a.k.a. losing weight.

Doing any kind of healthy exercise where you burn more calories than you consume is good when you ultimately want to lose weight, but as people tend to do work nowadays sitting throughout the day, they burn everything but fat.

Dieting whereby the body is starved is wrong and can cause serious problems. Almost everyone walking the planet older than 10 have been exposed to the idea of starvation diets. Where one will tell you to cut out protein or carbohydrates the other will tell you just the opposite.  Both very convincing and very scientifically motivated.

Not accustomed to the new diet the body usually get shocked into thinking it is being starved and go into starvation mode – depositing every bit of fat or access calories not used. And the results?  You can guess.

Or they might loose a few kilograms or pounds in the first week or two and think wow this is working. The body start to go into starvation mode, they get tired from a lack of energy and eventually drop the diet.  As the diet is scientifically motivated and “proved” to work, you having dropped it must be the one at fault.

And that is the way people make money selling diets – because they all work on the box but not in your body.

I’m telling you to keep on doing what you are doing. Preferably cut out excessive animal fats, cheese and nuts and eat normal food as you already do.  If you really want to change the way you eat I suggest you sign up at the bottom.  I would rather recommend that you don’t so much change the things you eat but rather that you start adding Foods that Burn Fat to your diet.

If I want you to focus on adding Foods that Burn Fat to your daily diet I actually mean to choose foods you like from a list of foods that burn fat.  Eat that food you chose to eat as many times in the week according to the Beneficiary Index. If the beneficiary index of any of your favorite Foods that Burn Fat reads 7/10, it means that you should get that food into your system on a daily basis, 7 times a week.

The best way to keep your health whilst loosing weight in a moderate way, is to eat right and even increase the times you eat every day with Foods that Burn Fat.  Increase the food intake will tell your body that it is O.K. to burn the fat as food is not scarce.  As your body start to open the energy taps you can ease into an exercise program that will not shock your body but gradually let the body enjoy his new found energy.

If you start to exercise rigorously your body will only become suspicious and at the first time you skip a meal or two it will go into starvation mode.  And to get out of it will take about a week or two of eating Foods that Burn Fat before your body will start to burn the access fat.

The moral of this exercise is therefore – start eating your favorite Foods that Burn Fat by adding them into your diet that your body is already used to. After about one week when you start to feel alive and energetic you can begin with light exercises such as stretching your body after every meal.

After two weeks of stretching you can pick up on any easy flat belly exercises program of your choice.  Remember – you do not want to slide back two weeks having to start from the beginning – so go slow at exercising and keep to at least 3 meals per day, preferably 5.  Gradually step up your exercise to enjoy high intensity workouts; burning fat fast.

Losing weight naturally will become part of your lifestyle and to help you make it easy without frustrating, starving and unhealthy diets, I will show different foods that burn fat.  Choose those that you like and eat away!  The idea is to change as little as possible because then you will adapt more easy to your new lifestyle.  So do not go overboard but just add a little bit of these Foods that Burn Fat to your every day diet, and you will see a gradual loss of weight without the loss of energy through diets and the pain of keeping to a diet itself.  No counting of calories and no looking at what you eat.

You know already what is bad for you, try not to focus on that but keep on adding more and more of the Foods that Burn Fat into your daily diet.

All the foods listed below have certain common qualities that make them fat burning in nature.  Firstly, all of them are natural foods; there are no fat burning foods listed with refined sugars or fat.  Also, these foods have a high thermic effect, that is the increment in energy required above your resting metabolic rate to process food for use.

In other words all these fat burning foods require a higher than average number of calories for your body to burn in order to digest them; an important aspect for burning fat and weight loss. I’ve broken the list down into seven main categories:

Vegetables are by far the best foods you can give your body. Vegetables are naturally high in fiber, low in fat, and contain essential vitamins and nutrients to feed your muscles.

Low fat dairy products such as skim milk contain high amounts of calcium and complex carbohydrates, both of which help boost your metabolism and keep insulin levels low, resulting in increased fat burn.

Lean meats contain high levels of protein which boost your metabolism and burn fat. Fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids such as Salmon are also great for burning fat due to the lowering of leptin levels in your body and higher resulting caloric burn rate.

Fruits which contain Vitamin C are known to help shed fat. Vitamin C dilutes fat making it less effective and also helps in releasing it from the body. Eat fat burning fruits in moderation however as they are also naturally high in sugar.

Whole Grains are both high in fiber and complex carbohydrates, keeping your metabolism high.

Spices such as cayenne pepper and jalapenos speed up your heart heart rate and boosts the metabolism, resulting in increased caloric burn. Also check out the benefits of ginger.

Teas & Coffee contain caffeine which can increase your heart rate and help burn more calories. Green tea in particular is good as it also contains a chemical known as EGCG which causes the brain and nervous system to run faster and burn more calories.
