The Most 10 types of Foods That Burn Fat

1. Oatmeal

If I could only choose one source of complex, starchy carbohydrates for a fat loss program, this would be it! Oatmeal is the one carbohydrate food that virtually 100% of all bodybuilders and fitness models eat on a daily basis. What makes it so great? Well, although it’s a starchy carbohydrate, oatmeal has a nice balance between carbs, protein and good fat. A half a cup contains 3 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbs and 5 grams of protein. The low glycemic index, combined with the presence of protein and fat makes oatmeal a very slowly released carb – exactly what you’re looking for when you want to get lean.

2. Potatoes

Potatoes have earned an undeserved reputation as a food to avoid on a fat loss program. But think about it; Potatoes meet every criteria of a great carbohydrate: potatoes are a complex carb. They are all-natural. They contain fiber, vitamins and minerals. They are filling. They are low in calories. So why do people avoid them? One reason is because they confuse a dry potato with a loaded potato. Smother a potato with butter, sour cream and bacon bits and then you’ve got yourself a fattening, calorie-dense ensemble. Eat it dry or top it with Butter sprinkles, salsa or your favorite low fat, low calorie topping and you can’t go wrong.

3. Brown Rice

Brown rice is another staple food of bodybuilders and you often see the “muscled ones” chowing down platefuls of rice, both in season and out of season (in smaller quantities during the “cutting-up” season). Prior to contests, bodybuilders sometimes reduce the amount of rice (starchy carbs) and add in more green veggies (fibrous carbs), but rice is a solid year round staple, as long as you keep your calories in check. Obviously, this means avoiding fried rice or other rice dishes that have added fat and calories. Steamed or boiled rice is the way to go.

4. 100% whole wheat and whole grain products

The “baseline diet” can and should contain a wide variety of bread products with one condition: They must be made from 100% whole grains (and the label must say, “100% whole wheat” or “100% whole grain” as the first ingredient). White bread and anything made out of white flour is not allowed in any quantity on this program (except the occasional planned “cheat meal”). If you’re particularly carb-sensitive, then bread – even the whole wheat variety – is one of the first things to go.

5. Green fibrous vegetables (broccoli, green beans, lettuce, etc)

Fibrous carbs are your number one choice for fat burning carbohydrates. Green vegetables, also known as fibrous carbs, hardly contain any calories (they have a low calorie density). It’s virtually impossible to overeat green vegetables. Eat them liberally and eat more of them late in the day. A diet of green vegetables combined with lean proteins is one of the best methods of getting lean as quickly as possible.

You May Need Chocolate :)))

Semi-Sweet Chocolate

i got many questions regarding the Semi-Sweet Chocolate
It is chocolate with zero or much less milk than milk chocolate. The U.S. has no official definition for dark chocolate but European rules specify a minimum of 35% cocoa solids.
Dark chocolate can be eaten as is, or used in cooking, for which thicker, more expensive baking bars with higher cocoa percentages ranging from 70% to 99% are sold. Dark is synonymous with semisweet, and extra dark with bittersweet, although the ratio of cocoa butter to solids may vary.

the famous trade mark which you can find in any market is "Lindt"

Calcium is a weight loss wonder

Calcium is another doctors’ secret. When your calcium levels are low, a hormone called PTH (parathyroid hormone) and vitamin D both increase in your blood.
High levels of PTH and vitamin D are seen during food shortage situations.
This means that your body is in “starvation mode,” and will protect itself by storing more energy as fat for later use.
And that’s exactly the opposite effect that we want when trying to promote fat-burning in the body.

It’s All in Your Mind

Carbohydrates are addictive. The more you eat, the more you want. And it may be all in your mind- or more precisely, your brain.
Carbohydrate consumption raises the level of a brain chemical called serotonin.
Serotonin is a calming chemical, and promotes feelings of well-being and satisfaction.

You May Need Chocolate!

Chocolate contains and releases chemicals that improve circulation and promote feelings of being loved.
Everyone needs to be spoiled a little once in a while. And taking a little bit of something so delicious can help you avoid binging on high carbohydrate foods. But you have to be a little careful and sensible with this secret.
Too much chocolate, or the wrong kind of chocolate, can take you right out of fat-burning mode.
The right kind of chocolate to treat yourself with occasionally is semisweet dark chocolate. It can help get you through those cravings for something sweet.
A serving of approximately 10 semi-sweet baking chocolate chips contains 9 grams of carbohydrate and 4 grams of fat. But used as a “medicine,” they can actually help when you need to treat yourself, or you feel like you just have to have something sweet.
Here’s the trick- take 10 of these delicious dark chocolate morsels and eat them very slowly. Try not to chew them at all. Just let the sweetness dissolve in your mouth, and savor it.
Pay attention to how it makes you feel- loved and “treated” to something special. Then, put the rest of the bag away.
Remember, just a tiny bit of semisweet chocolate before you have cravings is sufficient, and helpful. :)

Your future looks great!

Weight Loss Diet Nightmare Fact
A weight loss diet is a long-term commitment to new habits and health. If
you cannot commit yourself to two years of maintenance after the weight is off, it is better not to diet at all, because the backlash weight gain can leave you heavier than when you started.
Our bodies establish weight “set points” over time. Once you lose weight, you need to maintain that weight for at least two years before your body adjusts fully to its new set point. This is why most dieters gain back the weight they have lost, and even a few more pounds.

Water, Water Everywhere
Incredible as it may seem, water is quite possibly the single most
important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Although most o f us take it for granted, water may be the only true magic for permanent weight loss.
Pure water consumption is critical to your health, and to burning fat. When you are dedicated to your weight loss program, you will need to consume more water that when you are maintaining your weight. Water keeps your cells and tissues hydrated, helps to detoxify your body, and is crucial for elimination.
And don’t worry about “water weight gain.” Here’s the secret:
your body only retains water when it does not get enough water :).

Drink at least 8 to 12 cup every day This is so important for your fat loss program.
Try to replace other drinks- especially canned soda and sugerud jucies with water instead. "Trust me its work"

Lets Get Start Guys

Eat More, and More Often
Overweight people just need to eat less, right? Wrong! In fact, studies show that many overweight people eat no more than thin people.

Eat before you get hungry
Eating more of the right foods, more often, will cause your body to stay in fat-burning mode, and allow you to lose weight without getting hungry.

When you eat is almost as important as what you eat
Timing is everything. Pay attention to your body. Notice your hunger and craving cycles throughout the day. You can avoid failure (throwing your body out of fat-burning mode) by nibbling slowly on small amounts of the right foods- lean protein and good fats- before your hunger and craving cycles kick in.

Lose weight while you sleep
Watch what you eat before bedtime. It’s best to stop eating 3 to 4 hours before you go to bed. Your body releases human growth hormone during sleep. Human growth hormone helps build lean muscle mass and is very important for your overall health. Elevated blood sugar at night can decrease or cancel the release of this vital hormone.

Skipping breakfast can make you fat
If you think skipping breakfast will help you lose weight, think again! New studies show that breakfast - especially a cereal breakfast - is associated with better weight control. And according to a study presented at the American Heart Association’s annual conference, eating breakfast may reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Researchers found that obesity and insulin resistance syndrome rates were 35 percent to 50 percent lower among people who ate breakfast every day compared to those who frequently skipped it.
