Foods that Burn Fat Fast part 1

You already know that to lose weight you should monitor the amount of calories you eat and introduce exercise into your lifestyle. By selecting healthier food choices you can not only reduce the amount of calories you consume but also increase the amount of valuable nutrients that your body needs.

One of the best foods to eat to help you burn fat is Protein. You burn more energy digesting Protein than you do when digesting fat. Therefore by increasing the protein content of your diet, you can increase the calorie burning efficiency of your diet.

To help you make some right choices in your diet, here are some ideas for selecting foods that help you to burn fat and lose weight!

Eggs

Eggs have a high Protein content and are an ideal food to eat for weight loss and losing fat. Although eggs have received a bad press in the past because of the amount of cholesterol they contain, recent studies have shown that dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol. It is actually dietary fat which raises blood cholesterol levels, and therefore by making healthier food choices you will benefit your cholesterol levels. If you were still concerned about the cholesterol content of eggs you could remove the yolk (where most of the cholesterol is contained) and still benefit from the high protein content of the egg whites. However, many of the vitamins that eggs contain are stored in the yolk, and as long as you are consuming a sensible number of eggs as part of a balanced diet this is perfectly fine. Eggs contain the vitamin B12 which is a key component in helping your body break down and burn fat.

Low Fat Dairy Products

According to an article in Obesity Research, women who ate low fat dairy products such as non fat yoghurt and low fat milk three to four times a day lost 70 percent more fat than low dairy dieters! Dairy products not only strengthen your bones because of their calcium content, but can also play and essential role in helping you lose weight and burn fat. It is completely acceptable to consume dairy products as part of a balanced and calorie controlled diet, just make sure you keep an eye on the number of calories you are consuming and try where possible to switch to the low or non fat varieties.
