Fat Burning Foods: Burn Fat Without Effort
I hate to gain weight but I love to eat! You can not only avoid fatty foods but choose foods that burn fat. Below are some of the foods I eat to burn fat while I just sit!
PROTEIN Eating protein increases your metabolic rate. When you eat fat, your body uses about 5% of the fat calories to digest it. But your body uses 20% - 30% of protein calories to burn protein! I include some lean protein in every meal. But don’t include too much protein or you could harm your kidneys.
GREEN TEA A cup of green tea is so relaxing! There is a chemical in green tea that speeds up your metabolism, burning more calories, without speeding up your heart rate. And remember, without milk or sugar, green tea has no calories!
MILK The calcium in milk and other dairy products boosts your metabolism leading to more fat burning. Because milk contains not only calcium but also carbohydrates and protein, it is a perfect between-meal snack to fill you up and cause your body to burn calories more quickly.
CAFFEINE Caffeine has a negative reputation for putting too much stress on your kidneys and heart but that is only if you overdo it. I know people who drink sodas and coffee all day long but they are not fit and healthy! To keep your metabolism humming along, try drinking 2 or 3 cups of coffee throughout the day. But don’t add too much flavoring, cream, or sugar!
PEPPERS Another food that increases your metabolism by increasing your heart rate is peppers. You can actually keep burning fat at a faster rate for several hours after eating spicy foods!
I love the idea that I’m burning extra calories after each meal or snack simply by including these items.!
