Here are some great fat burning foods that should be included into your diet instead of foods that are high in fat or full of sugars:

** Lean White Meat **

Chicken Breast - Steamed or grilled chicken breast is a food that is good for eating with just about anything. Chicken is a fantastic source of high quality protein and is very lean with the skin removed.

Turkey Breast - Just like chicken, turkey breast is also very high in very lean protein, but also very low in fat which makes the calorie count low.

** Fish **

Salmon - Salmon is a food high in omega 6 and has many other health benefits.

Tuna - A great source of omega 6 and protein and a great “fat burning food”. Avoid buying tinned tuna that comes in oil as this can result in a very high fat content.

** Fruits **

Grapefruit, limes, oranges, apples and tangerines are all fruits that contain Vitamin C and can be classed as fat burning foods. Eating these fruits instead of calorie dense snacks (in conjunction with an exercise program) will increase the body’s metabolism thereby causing the body to burn calories long after the exercise is complete.

** Tea **

Green Tea – Has been shown to naturally increase metabolism and burn calories even when the body is resting. Green tea also contains many antioxidants that the body needs to clear itself of harmful toxins.

** Wholemeal Oats **

Oatmeal: This is one of personal favourite foods and is wonderful as part of a fat burning diet. Most people don’t realize that oats are an excellent food choice for fat burning. Oats are a water soluble fibre that is digested by the body slowly. This means that by digesting oats in the morning you will keep the stomach full for longer which will in turn boost the metabolism in the process.

With plenty of fat burning foods available you should look at eliminating foods that are high in fat and sugars and replace them with quality healthy foods that help to increase your metabolism and burn fat.

By doing plenty of exercise and including fat burning foods in your diet, you will turn your body into a furnace that naturally burns away unwanted fat.
