Shopping Day! What foods do I NEED TO EAT TO BURN FAT???

Rainbow unicorn poo. It is the only thing that burns fat. For realz!!

I'm not sure which foods burn fat, so you should probably just eat all of them just in case.

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.

Am I the only one that read this in the voice of Dr. House?

Your best bet is to find a diet plan you feel you can stick with and buy foods that adhere to it. If you want to be raw, buy fruits and veggies. Vegan? Grains, fruits, veggies. Atkins? Meat, eggs, cheese....etc. None of the above? Low calorie snacks.

Nutritionally speaking I would advise a well balanced diet consisting largely of nutrient dense whole foods...with a smattering of junk in there for your sanity. No food is going to burn fat...the oxidation of fat is all about energy balance/imbalance.

I shop primarily the outside of my grocery store and eat all of those foods...plenty of veg and a couple servings of fruit per day...lots of lean protein and healthy fats...and some ice cream for desert.

No.. Your best bet is to eat foods you like.. practice portion control and make sure you exercise and eat at a deficit.

Plus, Vegan/Vegetarian is generally a lifestyle not a diet. -

Oh, my bad. I thought that diet:
"the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community /habitually eats/."
"a /special course of food/ to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons."
"restrict oneself to small amounts or /special kinds of food/ in order to lose weight."

Also included veganism and vegetarians. What the hell was I thinking. Just because one elects to eat a vegan or vegetarian diet does NOT mean they "live the lifestyle" of a stereotypical vegan or vegetarian. In fact, I'd say MOST don't fill some kind of fantasy that people like to build around them of pep ralleys and PETA movements. I'm vegan; I have leather everywhere. I don't cry for cows and protest bacon. I cook bacon regularly for my pals.

Also note where I said "none of the above", "low calorie snacks" and "something you can stick with" which pretty much sums up exactly what you said.

Make sure it's edible

Someone needs some chocolate.. :~p

Not sure about burning fat (I thought I just ate less for that) but these foods do cause intense feelings of happiness.

If you are truly aware that you can't spot reduce, why are you still asking about foods that burn belly fat? Secret: They don't exist.

And there aren't any foods that will burn ANY fat--it's more of what you DON'T eat than what you do that will aide in fat loss.

One of everything.


OK - two of everything.

A calorie deficit..

ALL THE FOODS.




No, ok, seriously... I recommend animal proteins. The faster the animal, the better.
Chasing them down to eat them = major calorie burn. That gut will be gone in no time! :drinker:

pineapple
hot chilli peppers
cauliflower
Brocoli
sweet peppers
protein through chicken/turkey
Breakfast porrige oats
hot water and a slice of lemon

p.s dont forget exercises a good one to work all over including your target area is the shoulder press squat look it up on utube you will need dumbbells

hope this helps

I'm going to assume you know you need a calorie deficit and really just want to know about good quality food that will keep you full, give you energy to exercise, etc.

Brown rice, beans, legumes, vegetables and smaller portions of nuts, seeds and healthy fats like avocado.

If you make these your staples, you will feel great and have lots of energy, and be able to eat a good amount compared to if you were having your allowed calorie intake of processed foods.

Good luck!
