Fat Burning Food Groups to Help with Weight Loss


Fat burning foods are used for weight loss because they have the capacity to induce more burning of fat than those of the other foods which facilitate storage of fat. For an obese or overweight person, it is a must to include fat burning foods in their diet. But as used alone for weight loss, results may not be effective. Why? Fat burning foods should be accompanied by other food groups in order for the body to have all the nutrients and minerals needed to generate energy. It is also important that the body will not lose muscle mass because muscles are responsible for fat burning. Foods grouped as thermogenics (fat burners) are just stimulants for the muscles to burn fats.

The following short paragraphs will detail you about the different fat burning food groups which you can choose to include in your weight loss diet. Let us study the different kinds of fat burning foods.

The first group is the citrus family. Vitamin C or most commonly referred to as the ascorbic acid has fat burning capabilities. Among the citrus fruits which are used for weight loss are grapefruit (red, white and pink), oranges, lemons and limes. The mechanism of action of ascorbic acid to help in fat burning is it actually is responsible in liquefying fat and later on move out of the body as waste. Vitamin c is used for blocking the effectiveness of fats to be deposited in the body. But wait; it is not only fats that ascorbic acids works on; cholesterol build up is also controlled by Vitamin C. It blocks the storage of cholesterol and liquefies it and then move out of the body easily. With this Vitamin C has a property to combat cardio vascular diseases not to mention that they are also good to be used as weight loss medium.

The next group of fat burners is the soybeans. As we all know, lecithin is abundant in soybeans. Lecithin is as powerful as vitamin c because it also has the capacity to protect the fat from being deposited in the body. As well as protecting the body from fat deposit, lecithin also has the ability to destroy fat build up. It is recommended for a weight watcher to consume soybeans at least three times a week to facilitate the burning of fat in the body.

Another famous and effective fat burner is fresh fruits such as the apples, berries and sometimes papaya. Pectin is what the apple have which is great for burning of fat. Berries and other fresh fruits also contain this chemical. Pectin has the ability to limit the fat to be directly absorbed by the body. With this property, the body will have a natural limitation of the fats that will be deposited in the body. Another property of the pectin is the water binding ability. With the absorption of watery substance which will destroy the fat deposits in the cells and then the destroyed fats will soon be released out of the body.  With the properties of the pectin which is a component of apple, the statement ‘an apple a day keeps the fat away’ is indeed true in all aspects.

Always remember that with using different kinds of fat burners, you need to partner it with a work out. Try simple yet effective physical activities like walking, slow jogging or swimming for at least 30 minutes daily. Healthy living also advocates a balanced diet (but with a fat burning diet) to enable the body to burn the fats that the body absorbs when eating.

  1. I have always wanted to slim down and I'm having a hard time doing it because of the lifestyle that I have been used to: less work, more leisure. So, as part of my food intake, I eat many fruits as what was stated in other articles that fruits speed up the slimming process. According to what I've known according to some paper, pineapple is an effective fat burning fruit for it speeds up the breaking down of food in the tummy.

    I used to like apples but as time went by it came to a point that I lost appetite to apples. Stated above that apples help burn fat, I am now somehow into eating apple again daily. Apple is more affordable and is far way more healthy considering that it is fresh compared to other supplements in the market and other weight loss products which promises immediate weight loss effect.

  2. As the old saying goes "Health is wealth" and factually speaking being fat and over weight isn't really a good example of a healthy person. on the other hand being a physically fit person is a perfect example of a healthy person. being healthy isn't only on what foods you eat it is also about depriving yourself from eating foods which is not helpful to your body and those certain foods which absolutely give no nutritional benefit to your body. "You are what you eat" , that's what most people from Texas say so if you foods which are mostly composed of fats then logically the person eating that certain food may also have the high chance of becoming fat. Otherwise if the person is most likely a well balanced eater he/she may also have a high chance in becoming a well balanced physically fit person.

  3. wow i did not know apples were fatburners. Its good to see that there are natural foods and not supplements that aid in fat burning. I will stock up on fruits especially apples and oranges, the good thing about fruits is that they taste great. And walking only works for fat people. Jogging is great for general fitness and stamina but i hate it, i prefer cycling and hiit. And I cant swim hehe wish i could.
