6 Fat Burning Foods

Here are 6 fat burning foods that should help you with your healthy weight loss goals.

Healthy Weight Loss Food #1: Soy Protein
Protein takes a lot of effort for the body to break down and digest...even more than fat. So while your body is working hard to process that protein, you're burning calories. The best type of protein for healthy weight loss is soy-based. A soybean is the closest thing you can get to a magic weight loss pill. I start every day with a soy-based protein shake to ensure I am getting the best nutrition money can buy...and I don't miss the donuts and bagels one bit!

Healthy Weight Loss Food #2: Whole Grains
Belly fat is not attractive or healthy on anyone, and whole grains can really go to work on that stubborn flab around your midsection. One of the most efficient ways to get whole grains into your diet is through supplements because you don't have to eat tons of oatmeal to get the your daily requirement. (Even though a bowl of grape nuts with fresh strawberries and blueberries every once in a while is hard to resist!)

Healthy Weight Loss Food #3: Grapefruit
You have to have grown up in a cave far away from civilization to not have been told that Vitamin C is good for you. Along with the powerful antioxidant benefits, this vitamin helps burn fat. The next time you're looking for a cool snack on a hot day, dig into a juicy grapefruit. It will help to lower insulin levels, which keeps you from being hungry all the time! Too sour? Sprinkle it with Splenda (not sugar). The goal here is to lose weight.

Healthy Weight Loss Food #4: Green Tea
Green tea is the first thing I drink in the morning when I wake up, and I usually drink another cup in the afternoon just because of its awesome health benefits. This superdrink helps us lose weight by raising our metabolism, which will burn off calories faster than you ever imagined. Hot or cold, don't let a day go by without using it to your healthy weight loss advantage.

Fat Burning Food #5: Water
OK...it's not really a food, but it's important to drink lots of water if you're trying to burn fat. This is the ingredient that people miss the most. Your body can't work effectively if it's dehydrated, so it's extremely important to keep a bottle of water with you at all times. Don't worry, you'll get used to it and thank yourself when you do. And no, soda pop (regular or diet) is not a healthy alternative.

Healthy Weight Loss Food #6: Apples
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Why don't we ever listen to what we are told when we are kids? Apples and other water-rich fruits will make your diet plan more effective. The pectin contained in apples limits how much fat your cells can absorb. How awesome is that?! Plus, it's a naturally soluble fiber, which is always good. Forget about counting carbs and calories in packaged snacks. Just grab an apple.

Have a Great Day!
