SHOPPING DAY!!!




I've had enough of looking in the cupboard and seeing JUNK!!

I'm going to do a massive shop but..... what do I get???

I want to know... what foods do I NEED to have to burn fat???? (specifically stomach fat ((I'm aware you can't target burn))

Even just small foods that you put on your cereal or on your sandwich

What would YOU buy????

Lately my fat burners of choice have been IHOP, Pizza Hut, and Burger King.

But really, foods don't burn calories - bodies burn calories by being active. I've found that biking to work gets me the most calories burned with least impact to my time budget while still being realistic for my current fitness level, but different activities might work better for you.

Buy whatever you want and eat at a calorie deficit.

belgerian

A calorie deficit is what causes weight loss, protein helps you maintain muscle during the burning process. You cannot target specific areas building muscle in that specific are will help tone up but will not cause you to loose the fat any faster again a calorie deficit is what causes weight loss not excercise and not grapefruit. But myself I find that Ice cream helps me loose fat oh yea and my daily routine of physical activity which assists in creating a calorie deficit.

I hope that I am not breaking the rules, I wanted information on this same topic. I did 2 things. I checked out the website for the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015 - www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015.asp‎. Lots of information here.

I also bought the eBook by Nick Pineault. which is very specific on truths and myths and misinformation on the subject.

It is the best fat burning food EVER!

This. Just adding that I like to buy my almonds in the cooking section, where they are availablle in thin slices. That way they go farther since they can be sprinkled over things (like oatmeal, yogurt, etc.) and you don't have to worry about biting into a huge chunk of nut.

I also get the Fiber One bars (I like oats and chocolate) which have heaps of fiber in one bar, and taste like a candy treat.

I have a sweet tooth and like to get the plain Greek yogurt, but also the little pots of Yoplait that are in "dessert" flavours like Boston Creme Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake, or Key Lime Pie for after dinner sweets.

Finally, would like to add that I would get a few different kinds of herbal teas; good for getting more water in, plus they can be consumed when you are just 'a little hungry' to bridge the gaps between meal/snack times.

Buy a bicycle.

Or from the other end of the calorie balance - buy a recipe book and learn to cook the foods you enjoy.

You are aware you can't "target burn", but still want to have a list of foods that will "target burn" your stomach fat away?

Ain't going to happen.

Although I do applaud you for trying to eat healthier.

I'd say go get a "healthy" cook book, find some recipes you like, and THEN go shopping. That way, you will know what to buy!

And keep the junk - you can still fit it in occasionally. No need to waste food.

ALMOND BUTTER -- new edition to my staple foods

KANGOOJUMPS

BOOZE
IT COMES FIRST

selfepidemic1

Eggs, high in fat, full of energy and only 90 calories. These beauties will keep you going whenever you need food.

Cheese, because, duh, cheese.

Bacon, fat and protein, nom!

Cream - also high in fat

(okay, the fats are done! )

Salmon - great, lean, tasty food, full of nutrients and all the oils you need

Chicken - plain chicken can be added to anything and taste fantastic. Full of protein, not an ounce of fat in it so make sure to keep the fat intake up!

Broccoli - easy, plain, full of fibre and doesn't really offend any meal

Cauliflower - same as above, can put it in a blender to make it like rice too C:

Chorizo - Nom! Plenty of flavor! C:

Almond nuts - full of energy, I would sprinkle a few of these in a salad, they aren't filling really but they are great for you!

This is what I usually buy, I'm on a low carb diet so I don't buy anything with carbs in and usually stick to 10grams of carbs if not less a day ( unless its a cheat day! ) I've lost 23 lbs since august/september which for a lady, has a HUGE impact on her fat! C:

Choose a diet you think you'll enjoy, try a few of them out, a low carb high fat diet, low carb high protein, get some weights ( muscle burns SO much fat ) and just eat healthily/deficit.

Its a bit of a learning curve for a few weeks/months, sometimes you'll **** up, fortunately MFP lets you track and see why. So you can see if you're eating too much protein or too little fat and you're gaining weight, for example!
