Are there really fat burning foods that can help speed up your metabolism? Absolutely! By eating the right foods, you can trick your body into burning through its extra fat and lose the pounds!!

Here are some of the most convenient and tastiest fat burning foods you can find:

Citrus and Ginger

Remember when you were a child and you felt a cold coming on? Your mother probably gave you lots of vitamin C, either as juice or Ester-C. Vitamin C has great immune boosting properties. But it has an added side effect: It helps you burn fat faster!

Vitamin C helps you lose the pounds in two ways. First, as mentioned above, it speeds up your fat metabolism. But it also seems to have an effect on fat storage. Citric acid breaks down fat molecules, making them more likely to be flushed from the body and not accumulate in it.

Citrus fruits rank highly among fat burning foods due to their Vitamin C content. Try adding a variety of citrus fruits to your diet, such as oranges, grapefruit, tangelos, and lemons. And don’t just drink the juice…it’s better to eat the whole fruit, because the fruit contains fiber – another fat-fighter. Tomatoes are also fat burning foods. Use fresh tomatoes in your homemade sauces for a metabolic boost to help you lose the pounds.

Ginger is another tangy fat-burner. Classified as a vasodilator, ginger opens up the blood vessels and improves blood circulation. This results in a significant boost to the metabolism. In fact, studies suggest that people who eat ginger may lose as much as 20% more fat than those who don’t.

Ginger and citrus flavors complement each other well, especially in Asian dishes. Experiment with this exotic blend, and you can lose the pounds without ever feeling deprived.

Oatmeal and Whole Grains

Nothing starts your day off right like a warm bowl of oatmeal. That’s because oatmeal is high in fiber, which stabilizes blood glucose levels and prevents crashes and fatigue. Oatmeal is thick and satisfying, and you can add non-fat milk for an even bigger fat-burning advantage. (Calcium and fiber are proven fat burning foods.)

The carbs in oatmeal provide a quick rise in energy to help you wake up faster. But the carbs are complex and get digested slowly, which keeps your energy up and your appetite low for hours after breakfast. As an added bonus, oatmeal lowers cholesterol, too!

Nuts and Beans

Protein is vital for building lean muscle mass, which burns calories faster than fat tissue. Enter nuts and beans. They are nutritious fat burning foods, but unlike oatmeal, they also contain a significant amount of protein. Nuts and beans keep your appetite in check for long stretches. contain fiber that kick-starts your metabolism, and taste great.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Olive oil has long been recommended by doctors for its heart health benefits. Olive oil contains unsaturated fat that increases the number of high-density lipids in the bloodstream. These lipids, also known as “good cholesterol”, or HDL, sweep bad cholesterol from the arteries. By substituting olive oil for butter and margarine, you can actually lower your bad cholesterol and increase your metabolism.
