There are certain foods that among other qualities help us to burn body fat.

The consumption of these fat burning foods is a good complement to any diet or weight loss program

Here is a list of natural slimming foods that will help you burn fat naturally, the more foods you can eat in their natural and raw state the better.

Fruit is an excellent source of vitamins and anti-oxidants and because they can be eaten raw they make your body work hard to digest them.

List of The Best Fat Burning Foods

Here you are the list of the best fat burning foods that you can choose from:

Vitamin C

Vitamin C burns fat by liquefying it so your body can easily flush it out of your system. Vitamin C is also a vital chemical your body uses to burn fat in the process of fat metabolism.

Choose foods that are naturally high in Vitamin C such as – apples, berries, broccoli, cabbage and citrus fruits.

Apples and Berries

Apples and berries also contain Pectin, which restricts the amount of fat your cells can absorb; it forces your cells to discharge fatty deposits. Berries such as blackberries, blueberries, black and red currants, raspberries and strawberries help to detox your body, boost your metabolism and make your body more efficient at burning fat.

Calcium Rich Foods

Broccoli, cabbage, milk and milk bi-products such as cheese and yoghurt contain Calcium. Calcium aids natural weight loss because it speeds up the process of breaking down the fat content in your fat cells.

High Protein Foods

Protein burns up the most calories and is a power food for weight loss; choose food that is naturally high in good quality protein such as eggs, lean meat, all fish and especially tuna, salmon and sardines, and nuts (the unsalted variety).

Some nuts are high in fat so eat these in moderation.

Vegetables

Some vegetables contain more calories than others, in particular be cautious with potatoes, sweet potatoes or yams.

With vegetables try to think green or fibrous because these contain less calories, are hard to digest and are bursting with essential vitamins and minerals. If you do eat potatoes keep their skins on as in jacket potatoes because the skins contain insoluble fiber.

Broccoli, spinach, sprouts, green beans, peas, cauliflower, cabbage and carrots are all excellent sources of vitamins and minerals yet extremely low in calories.

Another advantage with vegetables is they do not contain any fat and their carbohydrate levels are low.

Steaming is the best way to cook your vegetables, next is boiling them or you can stir fry them with healthy oils such as olive oil, rice bran oil, sunflower oil, or sesame oil.

Nuts

Nuts are an excellent source of high quality protein and you can add them to salads, breakfast cereals or eaten on their own as snacks.

Nuts are naturally high in essential fatty acids so although you shouldn’t eat large quantities in one sitting they do deliver healthy fats that your body needs for building a strong cell structure.

Almonds are particularly high in vitamin E; you can also eat walnuts, cashews or pecans. If you have brittle teeth and usually avoid nuts for fear of breaking your teeth you can use ground nuts instead.

Garlic

Garlic or Garlic oil are both good for your natural weight loss, they assist in the reduction of fatty deposits.

Green Tea

Green tea will boost your metabolism and speed up the rate at which your body burns fat. It also contains powerful anti-oxidants with anti-cancer and anti-heart disease properties see Power Foods.

Hot Peppers

Hot peppers also speed up your metabolism and help to burn more calories but to a lower degree than most people think; you would have to eat more than is normally palatable, so you don’t have to eat hot peppers unless you actually like them.

Whole Grains

Whole grains and oatmeal contain fat-absorbing insoluble fiber, which not only keeps you satiated and feeling full and bursting with energy but they also increase your metabolism by burning fat and calories.

My favorite breakfast cereal Sultana Bran is a good example of a simple breakfast you can have that is rich in insoluble fiber. Insoluble fibre does not add to the build up of fat in your body, on the contrary it assists in the process of reducing your stored fat.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is the oil to use. It comes from natural sources and helps to keep your cholesterol levels down.

Water

Water cleanses your body inside and out, it flushes out your system and removes harmful toxins. You must drink plenty of water to aid your natural weight loss, your body consists of 70% water and it needs replenishing daily.

Add some of these foods in your diet to help you to lose weight.
