Fat-Burning Foods’ Your Should Add To Your Diet Plan

Fat keeps you warm, regulates your body function and stores energy.  But too much of a good thing can actually be bad.

It is well known that fat can lead to obesity and chronic diseases, but eating the right foods can help your body burn it.

Here are some to try:

1. Beans:

These are filled with protein and fiber, which help you lose weight without feeling hungry. Fiber takes a long time to digest, so your body will be busy burning it off for a while.

2. Eggs: 

Add eggs to your diet. Studies show people who eat them in the morning are more likely to drop pounds than people who eat carb-only breakfasts.

3. Avocados:

Bring on the avocados: They are packed with mono-unsaturated fats, which will lower your bad cholesterol. Your body will burn off avocados quickly, so they won’t stick to your hips.

4. Omega-3′s:

Foods with omega-3s, like salmon, are vital for burning fat. They contain the hormone leptin, which directly affects your metabolism.

5. Green Tea:

Also, add green tea to your shopping list. Studies show substances found in the drink will jump start your body to burn calories and fat.

6. Exercise routine:

You don’t need to spend long hours working-out, you can get just as good a work out (maybe even better) with just 10 minutes. This does not mean it’ll be easy. In fact, you’ll need to work extra hard the entire 10 minutes, but it will be worth it. Studies show that short, intense workouts help boost calorie burning long after you’re finished working out. 

Try Jenna Wolfe 10 minute cardio workout called a reverse pyramid. Each exercise should only take you 1 minute to complete (whether it’s 100 jogs or 10 burpies—the exercises decrease in reps but increase in difficulty). Oh, did I mention, no resting between exercises! You need to make each of those 10 minutes count.

Here you go!

100 jogs in place

90 jumping jacks

80 butt kickers (Jog in place but strive for your heels to touch your butt)

70 high knees (Jog in place, bringing knees up as high as you can with each steps. Can you make your thighs parallel to the floor?)

60 mountain climbers (Start in a push-up position and alternately bring each knee toward your chin—it’s like you’re running in place, but doing a push up at the same time)

50 fast upper cuts with 3 lb or 5 lb weights (Start with elbows in line with the hip and your fists up in front of your face. Swing hip forward as you punch upward. Return and repeat with other side.)

40 squats

30 alternating bike kicks (Start in a sit up position with hands behind your head. Bring your left knee toward your chest as you simultaneously crunch up and try to touch your right elbow to that knee. Quickly reverse, alternating left elbow to right knee. Release back to sit-up position. Repeat.)

20 push ups

10 burpies (Squat down until your hands touch the floor, jump your legs back so you are in a push-up position, then jump legs back to your hands and jump up high.)
