hi, i'm new, do you know/suggest any fat shredding foods?

The best approach is to eat a variety of healthy foods and log them here. Get some exercise and log that as well. MFP will tell you how many cals you can eat a day to acheive your goals. Make lots of friends and give/get support. It really does work!

I recently learned that grapefruit is the only food that actually increases your metabolism and reduces your insulin, which helps increase your weight loss with your daily workouts. I have since made sure to add it to my diet everyday and I really have noticed more energy and more effective workouts. If you're not a fan of the bitterness, use some stevia to sweeten it... all natural and delish!!

Breakfast: Protien + Complex Carbs [low salt] and complex carbs [piece of whole grain wheat toast, very little butter and organic fruit preserves + an egg on sauteed bell peppers and mushrooms is one of my favorites]. You burn off your high carb foods during the day. Put them at the beginning.

Lunch: Big salad with serving size of your favorite dressing. I love Marie's Creamy Chipotle Ranch. Add lots of vegetables. Pears, raisins, apples, and other fruits also blend well in salads. Add protein if you can. It will keep you energized and burn slower than vegetables. I'm a vegetarian, so I like to use things like extra firm tofu or the Morning Star faux meat products in salads sometimes. Nuts also add protein. Or eat a whole grain wheat sandwich. Or I also like to eat Lean Cuisines because they are so low-cal and they come in perfect serving sizes that are filling and perfect for dieting. They are also quick for when you're on the go or at work.

Dinner: Make something you like. You've saved your calories for the end of the day. You're hungry probably. You want something you WANT. LOOK UP YOUR NUTRITION FACTS. The internet is an amazing place full of information! If you're going out to a restaurant and it's a chain restaurant, chances are the nutrition facts are online!

Hope this helped.

Beware: Grapefruit is contraindicated with certain cholesterol-lowering medications. So if you are taking one of these meds, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding the grapefruit to your diet.
