One thing I have observed during all my studies of fat-burning and nutrition, is that people are very surprised to discover what are the best foods we can use for fat burning.
And not only are the foods that I recommend delicious, they are useful in helping to keep weight under control, and they actually help to burn fat.
I’m not going to bore you by mentioning the obvious ones – fruit and vegetables. It goes without saying that they are beneficial. I want to look at some food that is delicious, and also is very healthy, and great for fat loss.
1. Egg yolks. Yes, I mean those eggs that you may have heard about – how they are so filled with cholesterol and fat. Well, let me set the record straight – the eggs will increase your cholesterol, but it’s the good cholesterol. They help to keep the balance with fat, and the free-range eggs are exceptionally good, because of the high omega-3 content.
Yolks of eggs are also a rich source of vitamins, as well as minerals and other trace nutrients. To give a complete list of these would take up a lot of space, maybe a full page. Suffice it to say that egg whites are not to be favoured instead of yolks!
So enjoy those eggs and know that you are helping in the fight against belly fat. Eggs are one of my favourite foods ” I was relieved to know that I dont need to give them up.
2. Avocados ” Another example of a so-called fatty food which actually helps in burning fat! And they can be enjoyed with other foods ” they make everything creamier and tastier. And the avocado is packed with healthy fats as well as fiber and antioxidants. They are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and they help to control appetite and release the bodys fat-burning hormones.
3. Grass-fed beef – When you buy beef in the grocery store, it is usually the grain-fed type that you get. But the grass-fed type is far superior. It’s similar to the situation with free-range chickens – the animals are healthier, and the meat (as well as being much tastier) contains more of the omega-3 type fatty acids than the omega-6 type. And it’s the omega-3 type that is best at fighting off belly fat.
Another important element of grass-fed beef is conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a healthy fat. It helps both to build muscle and burn fat.
So enjoy that beef and don’t listen to the nay-sayers, who would claim that it’s fatty food and should be avoided. You now know that the opposite is the case. Just make sure that it is the grass-fed variety, and you can’t go wrong.
