What Is The Right Food For Weight Loss?

By Nea Brown


Log onto the internet and you will instantly be hit by offers and hyperbole about the latest miracle fat burning ingredient and the best food for weight loss. Some of this is great, informative stuff but quite a bit is very much not. Often times it will come from an untrustworthy source with a commercial angle to pursue.

To help you do so, this guide will go through some of the best foods to add to your diet if you want to burn some fat. Organizing your diet is up to you. If you can build it around these foods, however, it will almost certainly be a good one for lowering the digits next time you take to the scale.

The protein packed egg is a good starting point. A plate of scrambled eggs before you get to work in the morning will give you much more and longer lasting energy then a pile of toast or a cream cheese bagel. As well as stopping you from snacking pre-lunch it will add far less inches to your waist line.

Green tea is another excellent choice for those looking to shed the pounds. Not only does the complex mixture of antioxidants in it speed up your metabolism, thus letting it convert food to energy much faster, but it also helps lower cholesterol. Next time you take a coffee break, consider fixing yourself a green tea instead.

Lunchtime means sandwiches for many of people and this often does the most damage when they're trying to get in shape. Bread, salty meat, dressing, condiments and whatever else you layer into your favorite midday meal all add pounds to your figure. Switching to soup, therefore, is a smart move. Soup will fill you up just as much as a sandwich with nothing like the same level of fat content.

Another quick replacement job can be done by using cinnamon as a sweetener instead of sugar. It's a delicious natural ingredient which will help you get over those insulin spikes you get after a large meal which make you fiend for a desert. Needless to say it is far less destructive to your diet than sugar.

The next one is a little controversial but has proven time and again to be a helpful slimming aid: nuts. While undoubtedly fattening, nuts are not as fattening as most other snack foods. So if you need to slim but get the urge to snack, grab a bag of nuts instead of the usual bag of chips or chocolate cookies.

At the center of any conversation about fat burning food is fruit. Adding more fruit to your diet is always sage advice, for your mood, for your digestive system and for your waistline. The best of all for purely weight loss purposes are probably pears. They have plenty of fiber and can fill you up for a long time. Apples and grapefruit are also well worth eating.

The most important thing of all when looking for food for weight loss is that you keep a balanced, healthy diet. Do not lose sight of your health trying to burn pounds. Make sure you're getting enough energy from the food you eat while still avoiding the hard-core fatties.
