Foods That Burn Fat

In addition to exercise, to reach your fitness goals and burn fat, you will want to add some fat burning foods to your diet to help trim your waistline and burn fat away. Foods that are high in protein and fiber are the best kinds of food to eat if you want to burn fat around your middle.

It takes more energy to digest protein than it does to digest fat, So the more protein you eat, the more calories your body burns and thus the more fat you burn. Don't go overboard and think that a double cheeseburger will help you get trim and burn fat. It may be high in protein, but loaded with fat and empty carbs.

To help, I've listed a few high protein and high fiber foods that will help you to burn fat and get trim.

Eggs
Eggs are super high in protein and can help you burn that unwanted belly fat.

Low Fat Dairy Products
Dairy products help you strengthen your bones, are high in protein, and they can also play an essential role in burning that unwanted body fat.

Beans
Beans are a very good sources of protein, fiber and iron. Some of the best kinds of beans to eat are Navy beans, White beans, Kidney beans,and Lima beans

Lean Cuts of Meat
Turkey and beef are great for building muscle and boosting the immune system, but make sure you eat the leanest cuts possible. Salmon and tuna are also good sources of protein and they both contain omega-3 fatty acids which may sound bad, but are actually healthy fats.

You may have noticed there is a lot of protein here and are saying, "what about the carbs?" Well, carbs are not bad, and your body needs them. You just have to eat the right carbs to burn fat. Stay away from overly processed foods like white bread and the sweets counter. Looks for bread that is whole grain. The same goes for pasta. Eating a whole grain bread or pasta will contain less calories, more fiber, and will provide your body with the complex carbohydrates your body needs, not the preprocessed simple carbs found in most white breads and sugary snacks.

I hope this brief article will help you make smarter decisions regarding what you eat and help you burn fat and reach your fitness goals.
