Top Ten Fat-Burning Foods!!!!

Fat-burning foods are rich in fiber and protein and are poor in fat. Protein foods do require more energy to digest than carbohydrates or fats. The protein content of these foods boosts your metabolism and increases the rate at which your body burns stored fat. Fiber also provides high satiety value, so you feel fuller, longer. Below mentioned are some effective fat burning foods.

Whole grain
Whole grain breads and cereals are a great source of fiber. They generally take a longer time and more energy to digest. Have a bowl of whole grain cereal with skim milk for breakfast, daily.

Beans
Beans are low in fat and high in quality protein. They also have the added bonus of soluble fiber’s disease-preventing qualities. The soluble fiber traps bile and lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol without affecting HDL (good) cholesterol.

Chilies
Chilies are full of vitamins. The compound capsaicin present in chilies temporarily stimulates your body to release some stress hormones, which boost your metabolism and cause you to burn more calories. But excessive intake can cause acidity and heartburn.

Lean meat
The leanest meat pieces are excellent sources of protein with low fat content. The protein helps boost your metabolism, lose fat and build lean muscle tissue so you burn more calories.

Low-fat dairy products
Low fat yogurt or milk can boost weight loss efforts due to calcium content, according to a study in the April issue of Obesity Research. They also contain a hunger suppressant protein called casein that helps reduce hunger pangs.

Eggs
Eggs are also a good source of high protein. So start having eggs for breakfast, as research shows that the morning meal fires up your metabolism and increases your energy levels to tackle the day ahead or your morning workout. If you are worried about your cholesterol levels, then you may avoid the egg yolk.

Green tea
Green tea has been known as a health drink for years. Green tea contains caffeine, which is a decent fat burner. Green tea also has high amounts of catechins and polyphenols, which give your body a small boost in burning up calories. Catechins appear to prevent absorption of fat and to stabilize glucose levels in the body.

Green leafy vegetables
Green leafy vegetables are packed with vitamins and minerals and fibre. The fibre helps to burn fat. It also increases satiety and gives a feeling of fullness.

Berries
Berries are a powerhouse of nutrition -- full of vitamins and minerals. The fibre found in berries makes them a fat burning food.

Almonds
Almonds are a fatty food, but they can help burn body fat. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and heart-healthy fat. They are also a good source of fibre and protein. Nuts also help your body maintain good levels of fat burning hormones, as well as control your appetite and cravings so that you essentially eat less calories overall, even though you're consuming a high-fat food.
