Foods that burn fat

Sounds too good to be true? These foods do not literally “burn” the fat, to burn fat you need to burn more calories than you consume. These foods will make it easier for you to consume fewer calories.

Whole grains

Substitute refined foods with wholegrain. They are low in fat and the high fiber content makes you feel full for longer periods thereby reducing the need to eat while being a good source of energy.

Lean protein

The amino acids in protein develops lean muscle mass which helps to burn more calories. Have a diet rich in low fat dairy and lean meats and legumes.

Fruits and vegetables

These are packed with vitamins and minerals and a rich source of fiber and have only very few calories. Fiber will control your appetite. Choose varieties in season and consume them whole rather than have juice for better results.

Green tea

A component in green tea increases the body’s metabolism which will burn fat. Make sure to have two cups of green tea daily.

You need to keep in mind that though these foods can keep the calorie consumption low, you need to combine an exercise routine to be able to lose weight in a healthy manner.
