Some foods contain certain vitamins or minerals that help improve the metabolism, and improve the fat
burning capacity, of the body and act as virtual fat burners.
Some foods contain less calories while requiring more complex digestion and assimilation causing the
expenditure of energy and thus acting as virtual calorie burners
Some foods create a sense of satiation even when consumed in small amounts while also being low of
calories
Certain means of cooking reduces the calorie profile of the food and thus helps in reduce fat creation.
Eating these foods, in the right quantities, over a period of time will ensure that the fat profile starts
reducing. When we talk about burning fat it also includes foods that help reduce the possibility of new fat
creation, because this would indirectly help you burn fat at a faster pace through your activities (like
exercising).
A list of practical foods for burning fat (and reducing fat deposition)
A lot of people try to starve their nutrition in a bid to reduce fat. This approach can have spurious effects
on the harmony of the body and is not a wise or healthy way to reduce fat. The right way to reduce fats
would be to eat foods that reduce the possibility of further fat deposition, or foods that assist in burning
fats, while also taking up calorie-burning exercises (like aerobics, yoga and resistance/weight training) to
use up the past-stored fat in your body. So heres a compiled list of some easily available foods that can
help in this process of burning fats or reducing the fat profile of your body.
Citrus Fruits
I would rank these as the best fat burning foods around. Eating a breakfast of citrus fruits is one the best
ways to start reducing the fat profile of your body. Citrus fruits provide the body will easy energy to hike
up its metabolism while also supplying a rich amount of Vitamin C which is scientifically known to help
burn fat as its a vital chemical used by the body in the process of fat metabolism.
Citrus fruits like Oranges, grapes, apples, tomatoes (yeah, tomatoes are fruits) are quite easily available
while not being very expensive. While citrus fruits like strawberries, cherries, kiwi fruit, raspberries,
which are also excellent sources of vitamin C, are more seasonal and expensive. Depending on your
budget, and fruit availability, try to use a mix of these fruits for your breakfast to combine health with
taste. Try out a citrus fruit only breakfast for a few weeks to see how effectively it helps in burning fat
around your waist and hips. Ive personally seen excellent results with this method of eating a fruit only
breakfast.
Fruits in general are excellent foods for fat reduction because they are natural, they are rich in vitamins
& minerals, high in water content and low on calories compared to refined foods. Fruits are known to
improve body metabolism and reduce bad cholesterol. Papaya, bananas, mangoes, sapote, pomegranates
and many different berries make for excellent snack foods as well as breakfast foods.
Oats
The benefit of eating cereals like Oats is that they contain a huge proportion of their calorie profile in
terms of insoluble fiber. This insoluble fiber not only gives you a feeling of satiation and thus keeps you
from feeling hungry for a long time but also does not contribute to any calorie addition to the body. In
fact, any foods that contain a good amount of insoluble fiber would help you in the process of reducing
the fat profile of the body. Raisin and Barn cereal is another good example of breakfast food thats rich
in insoluble fiber, so is cooked barley.
Vegetables
Except for certain calorie rich vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes or yams, most other vegetables
have a low calorie profile while containing essential minerals and vitamin that improve the metabolism
of the body. When you eat potatoes, if possible, cook them with their skin on because their skin is a good
source of insoluble fiber. Veggies like broccoli, spinach, artichoke, lima beans, peas, cabbage and
carrots are excellent sources of minerals while being low on calories. Veggies dont contain fats either
and their carbohydrate count is very low (even compared to fruits). Cucumbers are excellent as a salad

In conclusion
Whole foods are better than refined or processed foods when it comes to reducing the fat profile of the
body. If there is a choice between a processed foods (like pastries, pizza, pasta etc) and whole foods (like
milk, eggs, chicken, vegetables and fruits), make it your second nature to make a bee-line for the latter.
You can use the list of fat burning foods, given above, to come up with ideas for your breakfast, lunch,
dinner and snacks on a daily basis to keep it enjoyable and healthy at the same time. Of course, dont be
hard on yourself its totally okay to eat/drink foods that you like (that may not be totally healthy) once
in a while in moderation, just dont overdo it and make sure you workout or exercise to burn off the
excess calories.

I would like to know about eggs. Are they bad or good for you? I heard that they raise the
cholesterol in the body. Is this true? I really like eggs. Thank you. Rosa.

Rosa, eggs are whole foods and are a good source of essential amino acids (protein), carotenoid
(good for your eye health), Vitamin D and essential minerals like sulphur (good for hair health).
Contrary to the old studies, new studies have proven that eggs contain dietary cholesterol which
does not negatively impact the lipid profile. Its saturated fats cause the production of bad
cholesterol, and eggs are very low on saturated fats and hence eating one or two eggs a day will
not raise the bad cholesterol (LDL) levels. In fact, some studies have shown that eating one or two
eggs a day improves your lipid profile (lowering the bad cholesterol). Eggs are excellent breakfast
or snack foods because of the wholesome nutrition they provide.
