Food That Burns Fat

Tip! Features to look for in a packaged product would be those that bring the product close to the raw-whole-fresh-natural standard described above: active enzymes, probiotics cultures, natural preservation and protection against food-borne pathogens, proper packaging, intelligent formulation and balance, micronutrient dense, freshly produced, fresh ingredients - and the expertise to do all of this, not just say so on a package or brochure. (Some brands trying to get on the raw food bandwagon make outright false claims about ‘cold’ processing.

Looking for foods that burn fat? While no foods actually burn fat directly, there are a number of foods that can help you lose weight:

1. Fiber

Foods with fiber make you feel full longer and eliminate sugar cravings - in essence, reducing how much you eat. Fiber-rich foods include beans (pinto, navy, etc.), fruits (especially berries!), vegetables, and whole wheat pastas & breads. In addition to losing weight, 20-30 grams of fiber a day can help reduce risk of heart attacks and cancer.

2. Water

Surprise! Water is actually one of the most effective foods to lose weight, and it’s totally free! Even better, it’s not about drinking tons of water - you just need to drink enough to keep hydrated, about 6-8 glasses a day. Keeping hydrated increases your metabolic rate and suppresses appetite - which slows weight gain.

Tip! Love what you do! Be conversant in food-talk. Read the food trade magazines or spend part of your workday online keeping up with new trends.

3. Green Tea

Like water, green tea can help you burn fat by increasing your metabolism. Brimming with helpful antioxidants, researchers suspect that green tea can also fight heart disease and cancer.

4. Dairy Foods, 3-4 servings a day

Researchers have found that 3-4 daily servings of milk, hard cheese and yogurt, in conjunction with a calorie-restricted diet, can help lose weight and burn fat faster than a low-calcium/low-dairy diet. It is believed that calcium and other components of dairy foods nearly doubles the rate of weight loss.
