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.
