An easy diet plan that will work for you in the new year.
Okay, so we’ve all eaten and tasted Christmas cookies, everyone’s creations and shopping for special cakes and chocolates. Remember that it is not polite to refuse a gift! On New Year’s Eve we had to have a champagne toast to bring in the new year and once it started it was hard to stop!
So now what, if you’re like me this two-week holiday period always represents at least 10 pounds of new belly bulge to stretch those jeans a little further.
But all is not lost. There are some simple steps you can take to encourage fat loss without making celery your food of choice!
Here is a list of foods that I would call great fat burners, mainly because they keep you fuller for longer and require more energy to digest: Amazing Fat Burner:
- Oatmeal: It is rich in fiber and provides long lasting feeling of fullness than donuts lying on the table. Use berries to give the needed sweetness.
- Almonds and NutsAnother stomach filler that really beats rice cakes. Skip the salty ones and don’t overdo it to keep the calorie count low.
- JamunLots of fiber in these tiny packages
- vegetablesSpinach and broccoli are high in fiber and very low in calories. Start with a salad made with romaine, arugula or spinach and you’ll feel fuller, allowing for smaller portions for the rest of your meal. Avocados are another great source of fiber and make a great addition to salads.
- beans: Best are: Lima, kidney, white and navy beans. They are low in calories and contain plenty of protein and fiber. They help get rid of fat, and aid in weight loss.
- eggs: They have an important component for the metabolism of fat, vitamin B12. Egg eaters weigh less than bagel eaters!
- Whole grains: Another high fiber item that will keep you full for longer!
- lean meat and fishProtein burns more calories when digested, so choose turkey or fish, especially tuna or salmon. These fish also contain omega-3s that reduce stress chemicals to keep you lean.
- peanut butter: It is loaded with niacin which aids in digestion and prevents that bloated stomach. 2 tablespoons a day and completely natural with no added sugar is best.
- dairyCurd is rich in calcium which breaks down fat and can also prevent its accumulation. Choose low fat or fat free. Parmigiana cheese is another calcium-rich dairy product that activates fat-burning hormones. Additionally, it is high in protein which will keep you full for longer. A great add to salads.
- Tea: The green variety is rich in antioxidants which speed up the metabolism. People who drink tea can burn up to 266 more calories per day. Try four cups a day.
- protein powder: It contains amino acid which burns fat. Add two teaspoons to fruit, yogurt or low-fat smoothies for a fat-burning drink.
Negative Calorie Foods: what you say? Negative Calorie Foods?
This is a group of foods that actually require more energy to consume and digest than the number of calories in the food itself. So you can eat as many of these as you want. some of these are on fat burning list So you will get both the benefits in one food item. Many of these make great snack items. You can have them in bowls and baskets for the whole family.
