here is tom venutos top 10 foods that burn fat, the man is honest and in my opinion brilliant when it comes to simple fat loss, to shed weight keep it simple to make profit complicate it, this is the way of fad diets that lead to failure:
1) oatmeal the less processed the better
2) yams or sweet potato
3) potatoes (not the loaded ones with bacon bits and sour cream lol)
4) brown rice
5) 100% whole wheat/whole grain products (make sure you read the labels there are imposters out there)
6) green fibrous veggies (my fav)
7) fresh fruit
8) skim milk or non dairy products (not the processed junk)
9) Chicken/turkey breast
10) egg whites
10 foods that turn to fat:
1) ice cream
2) fried foods (if its frying you are dying)
3) donuts & pastries
4) white sugar, candy, and sweets
5) soda (yes even the diet stuff)
6) fruit drinks (same as soda no better)
7) bacon & sausage
8) white bread
9) potato chips, nachos, and corn chips.
10) hot dogs & fast food burgers.

"if its frying you are dying" True say...
I'm glad I'm not a fan of the 10 foods that turn to fat...well maybe before i started this healthy life style0 -
Thanks for the info!! Great Post0

Someone has been reading Burn the Fat huh? I figured what I am doing is working now but when I start plateauing, I'll start zig zagging.0
-
great post!!!0

Love Tom Venuto. He writes in a way everyone can understand. He gets out great info in his e-mails and on FB too.0
-
Interesting, maybe I need to start on the oatmeal for breakfast habit again!0
-
Totally agree with it all.... except.... poultry sausage? I guess that would be one of my downfalls.0
-
My problem here is the white sugar. Love that stuff in my coffee. So I've cut down on my coffee.0
-
Mmmm I'll take one of each from the "bad" foods list please.:laugh: I guess that would explain how I got here.
Great article, though. Good to know i'm on the right track because I'm now making choices from the good list. Thanks for sharing!0 -

Often times the "food" itself is not the issue, it's what people put on it/do to it. Black coffee, or with a splash of skim milk, is fine. Oatmeal is great, but not the processed instant kind. Or you can kill an otherwise bowl of healthy oatmeal or a baked sweet potato with too much butter and sugar.0 -

It's so hard because I am Chinese and I grew up eating Jasmine white rice so I think one thing I cannot give up is that - I'll work it off if I need to =P0
-
Thanks for the info. Oh boy, guess I better give up my diet coke0
-
Damn, diet coke too? Geez, there must be 9000 reasons not to drink the stuff. So why do I still do it? Think how much money I'd save on my grocery bill if I quit buying soda and juice. I'm assuming that v8 juice falls in that catagory as well. Juice is juice, right? Nuts! Ok..I'm going to do better!0

Once in a blue moon I'll have a diet soda, but I pretty much gave them up over 25 years ago and haven't looked back: one of the easiest things I ever did. My now hubby has even given them up too. I quit buying them for him a few years ago, but he would still order a diet soda when we went out. Now he usually gets iced tea.0 -
What about sugar-free tea like Crystal Light? Is that as bad as soda?0
-
bump - good post, must print out and stick to fridge and goodie cupboard0
-
not as bad but still has artificial sweeteners so keep them to a min.0
-
I never eat anything in the second list and yet I'm still fat. Gah! :sad:0
-
those are the top 10 not all of them and you can still gain weight on the healthy food you need to track cals properly.0
-
I can handle all of that, except the ice cream. Yum, a little natural vanilla with dried fruit and dark chocolate. Sorry, I digress . . .0
-
one of my favourite things is steel cut oats with a 1/2 cup pureed sweet potato in it! yummy!
sometimes I mix in dry cottage cheese (for protein), what a great way to start the day!
thanks for the list. Surprised to see regular potatoes on the good list though!0 -
they get a bad rap, and its not the fault of the potato, its the stuff that gets added to them that kills the value of them.0

Nothing wrong with potatoes...as I said in a prior post, and to reiterate the prior post, it's what people do to them/put on them. White potatoes have a bad rap: they are relatively low cal and are a great source of several macro/micro nutrients.0 -
GREAT STUFF. bUT do does anyone know if splenda makes one fat?0
