Experts are saying that certain foods have fat burning properties that help you loose fat quicker.
Try adding these to your grocery list.
1) Salmon
Active Ingredient: Omega 3-fatty acids are great for your cardiovascular system and are known to activate genes that will limit fat storage and actually increase fat-burning.
2) Green Tea
Active Ingredients: Caffeine & epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) are known to increase your metabolic rate and burn fat.
3) Grapefruit
Active Ingredient: Naringin is an antioxidant with great fat burning properties.
4) Avocado
Active Ingredients: Healthy monounsaturated fats are less likely to be stored as fat and can actually help you loose weight. They also contain a sugar called mannoheptulose which is associated with slowing down your insulin release and thereby can impact excess fat storage.
5) Pomegranate
Active Ingredients: Antioxidants & conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which new studies show are associated with increased fat burning.
Here's a recipe that combines three of these five fat burning foods. Join me this summer in trying this interesting Avocado, Grapefruit and Pomegranate Salad by Martha Stewart. Let me know what you think!
