Top 5 Fat Burning Foods

Did you know that some foods promote fat burning? Here are my top seven fat burning foods........

Oatmeal

This is a very potent fat burner. And easy to cook or just add to your protein shake. Since the carbs contained in oatmeal are releases slowly over time, you won't get the insulin spike that KILLS the fat burning effect as found with more simple carbs.
In addition, they are high in insoluble and soluble fibers. Soluble Fibers allow sugars to be released at a slower rate and help to bind fatty acids. It can even lower cholesterol and LDL cholesterol which is the bad cholesterol. Insoluble Fibers help to move food through your intestines.

A typical half cup includes three grams of fat, five grams of
protein, and 27 grams of carbs, which is an ideal balance. Always choose regular flavor & stay away from the high sugar packets. 

Brown Rice

This is another cornerstone staple. Be sure to  measure it out to keep the calories controlled. Brown rice and is your top choice for a slow releasing starchy carbohydrate. 

Flax seeds and fish oils

Flaxseed and fish oils are great food supplements for anybody to take. These oils contain omega-3 fatty acids which help to speed up your metabolism.
These oils help to reduce body fat and thus they are a great supplement to add to any fat burning diet. The Omega 3s these oils contain can also help reduce soreness after workouts and act as an anti-catabolic agent. Using these oils allow your body to maintain its strength levels while losing body fat. In addition, they give your body a good source of natural energy and help to maintain triglyceride/cholesterol levels. These oils should be taken upon wakening and before bedtime.

Vegetables

Something many people do not know about vegetables is the negative calories that they contain. It takes more calories to digest the vegetables than the calories that the vegetables contain. The reason for this is because of the high fiber content; it takes calories to process so much fiber. Broccoli, spinach and asparagus are the top fat choice.

Chicken breasts 

Chicken, by far, is the most popular choice for fitness enthusiasts & fitness competitors alike. You can buy it in bulk & it's easy to cook. But all chicken isn't made the same. You want to make sure you stick to lean cuts of meat such as the breasts. Other parts of a chicken contain lots of fat and hidden calories
