You might already be aware that there are a number of different fat burning foods that can help to boost your metabolism and assist your body in burning excess fat.
What these fat burners do is produce a thermogenic effect within the body and burn calories while you chew your food.
There are however, specific fat burning foods containing particular nutrients and compounds that fuel your inner heating system to quickly increase the amount of calories you burn and kill your appetite.
Below are 37 fat-burning foods scientifically proven, based on over 170 scientific studies:
37. Almond Butter
A single tablespoon of almond butter holds 100 calories, however, you don’t have to eat much of it to feel contented.
You can spread it on a slice of whole-grain bread or even use it as a dip with your favorite fruit, like a fresh apple, the perfect complement.
Just a little bit will go a long way as it has a high protein content, is rich in calcium and fiber plus it keeps your energy levels up for a long time.
36. Apples
Apples can really help with weight loss. The skin of the apple contains pectin which binds to water and stops cells from absorbing fat.
Apples are also high in fiber and because they take a while to digest you will feel fuller longer. The old adage that eating an apple a day will keep the doctor away has a lot of truth to it.
Based on a related study conducted over a 12 weeks period, some women were instructed to consume 300g of apples (which is equivalent to 1.5 large apples or 10.6 ounces of apples) on a daily basis and they lost about 2.9 lbs (1.3 kg).
Along with being rich in fiber, apples also have antioxidants that are able to stop metabolic syndrome – a combination of high blood pressure, cholesterol and pre-diabetes.
