Miracle Food That Burn Fat

So many of us look for every possible gimmick, diet or risky exercise routine in our bid to burn fat fast from our bodies. Wouldn't it be great if there were wonder foods - a miracle food that burn fat without ever lifting a finger?

Research has demonstrated that the best way to take off unwanted pounds and remove fat from your body is to take a balanced approach involving a healthier diet, an active lifestyle, a good mental attitude and avoiding some of the nastier fats.

As part of this balanced lifestyle routine, you will find that food that burn fat will help tremendously in your effort to reduce the waistline, or whatever other part of your body that has grown somewhat out of proportion.

In fact, in the wonderful "Burn the Fat" book we were amazed to find 12 foods that you MUST avoid and 12 that you MUST include as part of your weight loss and muscle building goals. Here are 3 strong fat burning foods to get you started.

FAT BURNING FOOD

A great deal of research supports the notion that Soybean's are a great food that burn fat. Soybeans are offer a high source of low-fat protein that can help you build muscle, increase your metabolism and burn more fat. Another benefit of soybeans is that they are low on the glycemic index, which simply means they have minimal impact on blood sugar levels and you can therefore avoid the cravings and rollercoaster ride associated with foods that cause large fluctuations in your blood sugar levels.

Apples are another great food that burn fat, having many advantages to offer. Apples contain pectin which is a soluble fiber which has been shown to aid in a healthy digestive system and lower the bloating that is so often associated with today's society. Apples contain the highest percentage of pectin - so an apple a day will not only keep the doctor away, but those extra pounds as well.

Garlic has also been found to be a great food that burn fat, it does so in a few different ways. First, garlic has been shown to help regulate cholesterol, acting on the fat to prevent cholesterol being raised. Second, there is research that supports garlic's ability to break down fat deposits in your cells leading to less fat and reduced fat-formed blood clots which can lead to heart disease and stroke.

As you think about getting more exercise, fasting for days or reaching for the next miracle diet pill, consider adding foods that burn fat to your diet. Not only will they taste great, but there is strong research behind the overall health benefits of these foods.

These tips are only the beginning, some of the best advice and research on natural fat burning methods is contained in "Burn the Fat" - it's a great read.
