Fat-Burning Foods Revealed!

The Pros of Protein
Foods that are high in protein can help your body burn calories. That's
because protein takes more energy to digest than fat. So the more protein
you eat, the more calories and fat you burn. Snack on high-protein foods like
lean turkey slices, seafood, low-fat or fat-free cheese, and foods made from
soy protein (like faux chicken strips and veggie patties


Fat-Whacking Citrus Fruit
Experts say keeping blood sugar steady (avoiding spikes and dips) is key for
fighting off fat-storing hormones and revving up the fat-burning ones. And
studies have shown that vitamin C boosts your fat-burning ability as well.
That makes insulin-blocking grapefruit, which is high in vitamin C, an ideal
food for banishing fat


Whole Grain Heroes
A recent Penn State study found that whole grain eaters were able to blast
more belly fat than those who didn't chomp on whole grains!


Dairy Does It!
Research shows that people who regularly consume low-fat or fat-free dairy
lose way more weight than those who don't. Experts say it's the combination
of protein and calcium that makes it a fat-burning phenomenon!
