Your List Of Essential Fat Burning Foods

We often complain we keep on eating; sometimes we are use to saying “when can we stop eating? Or when can our appetite slow down?”, But do you know, you can eat and burn fat at the same time? Thanks to the natural way of science, there is what we called Thermogenic effect or so called thermogenesis, the number one fat burner. This process is about the increasing of the body’s heat or energy by increasing the body’s metabolic rate above normal. In other words, when you ingest food the body’s metabolic rate increases above fasting normal depending on the food you take. These types of food and its benefits are discussed within the scope of this article.

There are three types of food that has increased thermogenic effect. Namely, whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy products. These three types of food typically burn calories. Yes, you heard it right. To explain further, food is needed to burn energy to produce heat. If one person decided to have calorie controlled diets, and that diet is not well designed, then it will result to a reverse effect, instead it will result to fat storage. Eating has its benefits in this sense. The only thing to do is picking up the right food.

First we discuss whole grains. Whole grains are much preferred to be eaten at breakfast which will give more energy throughout the day. Whole meal and whole corn, contains whole grain. Whole grain consumption is associated with lower fasting insulin concentration where it is beneficial for the obese, the hypertensive and the diabetic patients as well. Another benefit of whole grain is that it decreases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and coronary heart disease. But beware in picking up whole grain breads, some bread may have that brown color, the reason for the color to be brown is because of molasses or caramel. It is advised to check the label for 100% whole-grain whole wheat before picking it up. Brown rice, corn, oats are example of foods containing whole grain.

Second is lean meat. Lean meat on the other hand is good in keeping your cholesterol in normal range. Lean meats are meats that contain less fat. An example of which is chicken. The skinless chicken of course, for the skin comprises fat. And turkey breast along with some types of fish such as tuna could be preferable as well. It is true that lean meats are essential for rapid weight loss because they have less fat and highly packed with proteins which are equally important for a well-balanced diet. To choose the right amount of lean meat, one should bear in mind to pick not more than 2 grams of fat per serving since various meats are comprised with saturated fats.

Lastly, low-fat dairy products shouldn’t be off the list. It is best to have three servings of low-fat dairy products per day. Low-fat dairy products also has benefits such as lowering the LDL cholesterol level, reduce risk of hypertension, prevent obesity and not to mention its popular use, a good source of calcium that will result in having strong bones.

A person can eat at the amount he prefers but with caution on which foods should be eaten not only to acquire a well-shaped body but also good health and longer life. But always remember that a person needs a fairly balanced diet to obtain maximum optimal health.
