One thing I have noticed while serving as a professional Nutrition specialist, is that most of my customers are amazed when they find out what foods I would recommend for fat burning.

And not only are the foods that I recommend delicious, they are useful in helping to keep weight under control, and they actually help to burn fat.

I’m going to leave out the obvious ones – fruit and vegetables. I don’t want to bore you by mentioning these – we all know thay they are beneficial. But I would like to take a look a some foods that are not only very tasty, but play a vital part is the fat burning process.

1. Egg yolks. And yes, I do mean eggs, which you may have heard some negative things about – how they give you cholesterol and contain fat. Well, they do indeed have cholesterol, but it’s the good type – they actually help to keep a good balance with fat. The free-range variety are the best ones to buy, because of their high omega-3 content.

The yolk of an egg is a rich source of vitamins and it also contains various minerals and other trace nutrients. To list them all would require about an extra page. In any case, you can be sure that the yolk of an egg is far superior to the white.

So it’s OK to continue eating eggs, and enjoy them. That was a great relief to me when I first heard it – they are one of my favourite foods and I would certainly miss them!

2. Avocados ” Another example of a so-called fatty food which actually helps in burning fat! And they can be enjoyed with other foods ” they make everything creamier and tastier. And the avocado is packed with healthy fats as well as fiber and antioxidants. They are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and they help to control appetite and release the bodys fat-burning hormones.

3. Grass-fed beef – The beef sold in the grocery store is mostly of the grain-fed variety, but this tends to be from less healthy, weaker cattle. You should always insist on getting the grass-fed variety. This is invariably tastier and has a higher ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 than grain-fed. Omega-6 is the one we get far too much of, and the omega-3 type fatty acids are the ones that help in the fight against bely fat.

Another important element of grass-fed beef is conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a healthy fat. It helps both to build muscle and burn fat.

So go ahead and enjoy that delicious beef ” just watch that its the grass-fed type. It will help you in your attempts to burn fat. You dont need to listen to the claims about beef being a fatty food ” you know better now.

It’s a strange concept – losing weight by eating more, isn’t it? Flies in the face of just about every notion we have of weight loss, dieting etc. Doesn’t add up.

But when you understand how it all works, and how the body deals with the food we give it, it becomes a lot easier to understand. And to believe that it could work.

There are a lot of false ideas about why we put on weight, why we keep it on, and what we can do to lose it again. And most weight-loss vendors have a poor understanding of the root causes of the body’s storage of fat.

Food has always been seen as the issue for dieters, and how to get by with less of it. But it’s not correct to say that food is our problem. Neither is eating less the answer.

How many people would believe that you can change your body in 11 days – losing 9 pounds in the process? Very few – it would be a radical concept to most.

Yet, this has been achieved and documented. The methods used have been tried and tested, and are being used by people around the world.

In its simplest form, the system is built around the fat that when we eat, out brain produces 2 types of hormones. One of these controls the burning of fat and the other, the storing of fat.

And you can control the production of these hormones by eating certain foods – you can have more of the fat-burning type produced, and less of the fat-storing type.

It’s a briliant concept – and the way it’s controlled is through the food. Certain foods trigger one hormone type or another, and when you follow the correct sequence, it’s like switching on a light.

For the system to work, you must eat more than 3 times a day, and eat the correct food using the right pattern. This can be difficult to grasp, but its the critical part of it.

There’s no doubt that the system gets results. Probably the most attractive thing about it is the speed it works at – you see results in days. And it won’t stress you out.

That’s a dificult one to get your head around, isn’t it? Lose weight by eating MORE? It contradicts all that we have been led to believe about weight loss.

Well, its not such a crazy concept and when you understand how the body assimilates food you will have a better understanding of how it works.

A lot of false notions are flying around, about what’s a good way to lose weight, why we put it on in the first place, and why it tends to stay on. Popular diet programs have no concept of the basics of how the body stores (and burns) fat.

For dieters, food has always been regarded as the problem, the thing to be avoided. But food is not the problem, and eating less is not the answer.

If you did a survey, very few people would believe that it’s possible to change your body in 11 days – by losing 9 pounds of fat. Dieting is regarded as a long, drawn-out affair.

Yet, this has been achieved and documented. The methods used have been tried and tested, and are being used by people around the world.

In its simplest form, the system is built around the fat that when we eat, out brain produces 2 types of hormones. One of these controls the burning of fat and the other, the storing of fat.

And the production of these hormones can be controlled ” more of the fat-burning type can be produced, less of the fat storage type, by consuming certain specific foods.

This is a very clever concept – controlling the hormones through food. Specific foods trigger one or other of the hormone types, and when taken in the correct order, they will go to work for you.

It’s important, for the system to work as it was designed, that you eat more than 3 meals a day, according to the pattern. This is a critical part of it.

It’s without dispute that the system works, and the speed at which it works is one of the most impressive things about it. And it’s a relatively stress-free dieting system.

It’s a strange concept – losing weight by eating more, isn’t it? Flies in the face of just about every notion we have of weight loss, dieting etc. Doesn’t add up.

However, once you can see how our bodies process food, and how this is controlled by our brains, the subject gets a lot easier to grasp.

A lot of false notions are flying around, about what’s a good way to lose weight, why we put it on in the first place, and why it tends to stay on. Popular diet programs have no concept of the basics of how the body stores (and burns) fat.

How many people would believe that you can change your body in 11 days – losing 9 pounds in the process? Very few – it would be a radical concept to most.

However, these figures have been achieved, over and over. These numbers are typical of what you can expect when you start.

To simplify it, the system works because of what happens when we eat. There are 2 types of hormones produced – a fat-burning type and a fat-storing type.

And you can control the production of these hormones by eating certain foods – you can have more of the fat-burning type produced, and less of the fat-storing type.

It’s a very clever system – controlling our fat-processing hormones through food. By eating certain foods (and in the correct order), you can “signal” those fat-burning hormones to work for you.

For the system to work, you must eat more than 3 times a day, and eat the correct food using the right pattern. This can be difficult to grasp, but its the critical part of it.

Its a very effective dieting system, and it works faster than most systems that are available now. It works better than any low-carb or low-fat diet, and a lot less stressful.
