15 BEST FAT-BURNING FOODS
NATURAL FAT BURNERS
WALNUTS
ALL NUTS DO CONTAIN SOME AMOUNT OF THE OMEGA-3 FAT ALPHA-LINOLENIC ACID, BUT MOST ONLY CONTAIN TRACE AMOUNTS.
THE REAL FAT HERO IN MOST NUTS IS MONO-UNSATURATED FATS. WALNUTS ARE ACTUALLY A RICH SOURCE OF OMEGA-3S.
ONE OUNCE PROVIDES ALMOST 3G OF ALPHA-LINOLENIC ACID.
Oatmeal
This very slow-digesting carb keeps blood sugar and insulin levels low, so fat burning can stay high.
In fact, research has shown that athletes who consume slow-digesting carbs in the morning burn more fat throughout the entire day and during workouts than those consuming fast-digesting carbs.
Avocado
The mono-unsaturated fats found in avocados are burned readily for fuel during exercise and actually encourage fat burning.
Avocados also contain a very interesting carb called mannoheptulose, a sugar that actually blunts insulin release and enhances calcium absorption, both of which are critical for encouraging fat loss.
Salmon
This fish is one of the richest sources of the omega-3 essential fats EPA and DHA. Unlike flaxseeds, which provide a type of omega-3 that has to be converted into EPA and DHA, salmon provides your body a direct supply of them with no conversion required.
This way you know you're getting a direct supply of the fats that turn on fat burning and block fat storage.
Water
This just may be your best ally in fighting bodyfat. Studies have shown that drinking 2 cups of cold water can boost metabolic rate by 30%.
It has been estimated that drinking about 2 cups of cold water before breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for a year can burn 17,400 extra calories, which translates into a little more than 5 pounds of bodyfat!
Flaxseeds
They contain the essential omega-3 fatty acid alpha linolenic acid. These omega-3 fats have been found to turn on genes that stimulate fat burning and turn off genes that increase fat storage.
Honey
Yes, it's a sugar, but it's fairly low on the glycemic index. Keeping insulin levels low and steady is critical for maintaining a fat-burning environment in your body.
Honey is also a rich source of nitric oxide (NO) metabolites; ultimately, that means it actually encourages fat release from the body's fat cells

I am going to try that cold water before meals thing! Will have to start with lunch today!
I dont eat fish, except for tuna in a can. I never acquired a taste for any seafood and I can hardly stand the smell too lol.
Honey- maybe I should switch to honey in my tea instead of sugar? Never had honey in my tea.0 -
