5 Fat Burning Foods To Try Today

It is not a big secret that the key to losing weight is to eat less and move more.  However, there are some great fat burning foods out there that cause you to burn more calories just by digesting them!  By helping your body to rid itself of excess fat, these super foods will speed up your weight loss and help you to see results even faster.  You’ve got to love that!

Here’s a list of fat burning foods that are low in calories and high in benefits:

1.  Almonds

Almonds are not only delicious, but they may even be able to increase fat loss.  An encouraging study recently found that dieters who ate a serving of almonds daily for 6 months lost an average of 18% of their body fat!  It’s not all you can eat, though, keep in mind that 1 serving of almonds is approximately 20 or so of these yummy nuts.

2.  Beets

Okay, maybe you don’t love them now, but you might after realizing that these vegetables are some of the best fat fighters out there.  “Why?”, you ask.  Well, beets are not only rich in fiber, which fights the fat, but they will also help to flush out your system, causing you to lose some of that water weight.  Not too shabby, huh?  In addition to the benefits your waistline will receive, beets also help to protect the heart and ward off some types of cancer.

3.  Carrots

Carrots contain both fiber and a good amount of beta carotene.  The fiber will help to get the fat out of your system and the beta carotene requires your body to use it’s own fat to absorb it.  That’s a win-win, if you ask me!

4.  Cucumber

Believe it or not, cucumbers can pack quite the whollop.  They act as a diuretic, so this will aid in flushing excess fluid from your system.  Diuretics, especially natural one’s, are pretty amazing.  They will actually take large fat deposits and break them up in order to more efficiently flush them.  Not only that, but your metabolism will be accelerated, as well.  Of course, pickled cucumbers, aka pickles, will not have the same effect on water retention.  There’s just too much sodium.  So enjoy a cucumber au naturale today.

5.  Celery

Celery is another one of the negative calorie foods that take quite a bit more energy to digest than the calories that it costs you.  The high levels of iron and magnesium found in celery will help to flush out your system, but the calcium and Vitamin C are what really makes this food a fat burner.  By diluting the fat, these vitamins will greatly help your fight fighting efforts.

Next time you find yourself making out your grocery list, add a few of these fat burning foods.  In the war against fat, we need to keep as many weapons handy as we can.
