Fat Loss Foods is another truth about healthy eating. Not all foods are created equal.
One of the less-known effects of food when it is ingested, which rarely gets much discussion in mainstream press, is its ‘thermogenic effect’. Yet it is one of the reasons why not all foods are created equal.
To sum up briefly, every individual has a resting metabolic rate. This is the rate at which your body burns calories. The thermogenic effect of eating refers to the energy you expend (aka the calories you burn) beyond your resting metabolic rate due simply to digesting and storing the food you have eaten.
Certain foods (Fat Loss Foods) burn calories through this thermogenic effect more so than others; hence, helping you to lose fat. Other Fat Loss foods are great for fat loss for other reasons. For example, they may be filling without having many calories or they may pack a big punch nutritionally without increasing your body fat.
Here are THE TOP 13 FAT LOSS FOODS that will burn calories for you! Incorporate these into breakfast, lunch and dinner and notice how cravings are reduced, energy increases and your ‘diet’ food is so colourful, tasting and not boring!
1. Fat Loss Food – Nuts (especially almonds and walnuts)
Nuts make for a great snack, and each type of nut offers its own nutritional benefits. Walnuts, for example, offer beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids. Almonds, meanwhile, are a great source of Vitamin E, which has been linked to healthy skin.
2. Fat Loss Food -Chili peppers
Chili peppers contain capsaicin, which is a powerful metabolite. Capsaicin heats the body and works effectively to decrease appetite so you feel full after eating.
3. Fat Loss Food – Eggs
Eggs are an incredible, low-calorie source of high quality protein. In addition to protein, eggs provide large amounts of several other important nutrients. We recommend organic, free range eggs. (Tip: Try boiling some eggs and keeping them in the fridge as snacks.)
4. Fat Loss Food – Greek yoghurt
A lot of dairy products aren’t great for people trying to burn fat. Sugar-filled, low fat ‘fruity’ yoghurts are a great example. Greek yoghurt, however, bucks this trend. Loaded with protein, probiotics and low in sugar, Greek yoghurt is a great option at snack time. (Tip: Try mixing in berries, nuts and seeds to make it extra tasty and for added nutrition.)
5. Fat Loss Food – Grass fed and lean meats
As a rule of thumb, grass-fed meats are better than farm-raised ones. Lean meats, free range and game meats provide an outstanding amount of protein but are not loaded with fat. Protein has a high thermogenic effect; you can burn up to 30% of the calories through digestion alone.
6. Fat Loss Food – Berries
You know that berries taste great, but did you also know that they are low in calories, high in fibre, high in antioxidants (repairs cell damage from free-radicals), and that each type of berry contains a great mix of vitamins and minerals? Raspberries, blueberries and blackberries all taste great mixed in Greek yoghurt or even on a salad. Also they are great in smoothies.
7. Fat Loss Food – Nut butters
In moderation, different nut butters (almond, brazil, cashew and peanut) can be a great snack-time food, packing a lot of protein. The best nut butters are organic ones without hydrogenated oils.
