Did you know there are a lot of foods that naturally burn fat? How great is that?  All we have to do to start losing weight is to eat these foods that have natural fat burning properties.  Here are a few to incorporate into your diet to help you on your way to losing weight naturally.

Apples, berries, broccoli, cabbage and citrus fruits
: Foods high in Vitamin C liquefy fat and help the body flush out toxins.

Apples and berries: Contain pectin, an insoluble dietary fiber shown to reduce blood cholesterol leves and restrict the amount of fat that our cells can absorb. So if the cells can’t absorb the fat, they’re forced to expel the fatty deposits which results in weight loss.  

Broccoli, cabbage, milk, cheese and yogurt: Are calcium rich foods that help with natural weight loss because they speed up the process of breaking down the fat content of fat cells.

Eggs, lean meat, fish (tuna, salmon and sardines) and unprocessed, unsalted nuts:  High quality protein helps lose weight because it’s a natural fat burner.  It also helps reduce cravings and binge
eating which aids in weight loss.  
 
Garlic:  Reduces fatty deposits and has many health promoting qualities.  
   
Green tea:  Burns fat and boosts metabolism which helps your body operate more efficiently.  It’s also high in natural anti-oxidants, has cancer fighting properties and reduces heart disease.

Hot peppers: Turn up the heat!  Hot peppers speed up metabolism and helps burn more calories.

Olive oil: Helps to keep your cholesterol levels down and is a major fat burning food.

Water:  Cleanses the body, hydrates the skin and flushes toxins out the system. For a diet of fat burning foods to work efficiently and aid natural weight loss, it’s important to stay properly hydrated. Our bodies are made up of 70% water and needs to be replenished every day.  The general rule of thumb is ½ your weight in ounces per day.

Whole grains and oatmeal: contain fat-absorbing fiber, which not only keeps you feeling full and energized but also increases metabolism by burning fat and calories.

Incorporate these fat burning foods into your diet and natural weight loss will come easily to you!


 
 
 
There’s  a lot of information circulating about Wellness Coaches.   Have you ever wondered what a Wellness Coach can do for you?   Quite simply, I’m an advocate for you. Just like professional athletes
need a coach to keep them on track, set and achieve goals, a wellness coach  helps you envision and set your health goals while guiding you through the  process of making healthier lifestyle choices so you can live a longer and  happier life. This is done through a series of meetings/coaching sessions: New
lifestyle choices are taught and explored, small achievable goals are set to  move you forward in attaining your overall plan for wellness, and you are encouraged to challenge old habits that have inhibited your success and progress in the past.
