Fight Fat with Certain Foods

BC Doan
To loose weight, you have to eat right, and do plenty of exercise. Certain ingredients can help you slim down by filling you up quickly, reserving your appetite, and keeping you full longer. These 8 secret foods will help fighting fat.

1. Shrimp

2. Nuts

3. Vinegar

4. Coffee

5. Avocado

6. Grapefruit

7. Chili powder

8. Oils

- Coconut Oil

Contains fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Normally, fat goes straight into our blood stream, and store it there. Where as MCTs go straight into the liver, and burn for energy instead.

- Enova

Made of canola and soybean oils, contains unique fats known as diglycerides. Like the fat in coconut oil, diglycerides travel to the liver, where they're rapidly burned.

- Olive Oil

Loaded with fast burning monounsaturated fat. It offers a rich, flavorful taste so you don't have to use a lot of it.

Now you have it, choose the type of food listed above to burn the fat. Some foods are easier to take, others require getting used to. Just allow yourself plenty time to make the transition.

Coconut oil, Enova, and olive oil can actually help you lose weight. Here is a break down on these three oils.

People who eat and drink spicy foods consuming less calories, and tend to choose foods that lower in fat. Eating spicy foods help regulate insulin levels. Try to sprinkle a little on your popcorn, tomato juice, and corn on the cob.

If you eat half a grapefruit before each meal, you will drop more weight without trying. This citrus has three grams of filling fiber, 40 calories, and half of your daily vitamin C. It also provides cancer fighters lycopene and beta-carotene. Use slice grapefruit to top your fish instead of lemon.

Your body burns monounsaturated fat faster than saturated fat. Monounsaturated fat found in avocado. People who eat a healthy diet that has saturated fat, such as in beef, losing less weight than people who eat meal with monounsaturated fat. Make avocado mash to use as topping on your sandwich, potato, and chili.

Caffeine gives your metabolism a boost, and the compound in coffee, the antioxidant chlorogenic acid, causes your body to produce less insulin. Since insulin moves sugar into your cells, it is eventually stored as fat. Therefore, the less of this hormone circulating in your body, the less fat stored. Try adding half teaspoon of coffee grounds into your muffins or brownie mix. They taste heavenly.

Vinegar! The many miracle uses of vinegar. If you take 4 teaspoons of vinegar before having a high-carb meal, it cuts your blood sugar by about half, after the first hour of eating. This cause you to eat less later on, and reduce your daily intake by 200 calories. Mixing half of your creamy salad dressing with half vinegar to cut down on fat and calories to use on your salad or wrap. Use balsamic vinegar to marinade your salmon or chicken.

Almond, peanut, cashew, are packed with protein, fiber, and fat. These combination is hard to break down, so they stay in your body longer. They keep you full for a long time. The protein and healthy fat in these nuts can boost up metabolism. People who eat nuts and nut butters regularly weight less than people who don't. I love roasted almonds. You can buy raw almond and toast them at home to give your house a wonderful aroma.

You can have 15 large shrimp with just 83 calories, and 1 gram of fat. Calories from lean protein may burned faster than those from carbs or fat since your body doesn't store protein. There are many, many recipes on how to cook shrimp, from salad to satay, to shish-a-bob, to stir fry. Shrimp does not take long to cook, and relatively easy to clean. The internet is the best way to get healthy, tasty, and delicious recipes.
