8 great foods that burn fat


People are always looking for ways to boost metabolism and burn fat. Most people think first of exercise, building muscle and changing eating habits. However, most people forget to identify individual foods that could improve metabolism and burn more fat. Here are 10 foods you could try.

1. Fish
Salmon, tuna and cod are all great fish to help you lose weight. They are all great sources of protein and omega 3 oils, which help your cardiovascular system and your brain function better. Your body needs to burn calories to metabolize foods, and it takes more calories to break down protein than it does carbs or fat fat.

2. Grapefruit
You've heard of grapefruit crash diets. It's because grapefruit contains a great fat-burning enzyme along with its vitamin C. It helps lower insulin in your body, which decreases fat storage. It takes extra calories for your body to metabolize grapefruit, much like protein.

3. Yogurt
If you want to replace unhealthy breakfast foods, then have yogurt and some fruit to start your day. It's packed with protein, which takes extra calories to metabolize. Greek yogurt even has extra protein. 

4. Apples
Apples are packed with nutrients, are full of fiber and are low in calories. In fact, apples belong to an unusual category of foods with "negative calories." They actually take more calories to digest than they contribute.

5. Spicy Foods
Jalapenos and other chili peppers contain capsaicin, which helps your body burn a few extra calories. 

6. Cinnamon
Many studies show the potential health and fat-burning benefits of adding a little cinnamon to just about anything. Add it to your yogurt or breakfast cereal. Sprinkle it on fruit.

7. Broccoli
Broccoli is rich in both calcium and vitamin C, which are great nutrients for burning fat. The calcium boosts metabolism while vitamin C helps your body absorb even more calcium. It's also a great source of fiber, which gets you full faster and keeps you full longer on fewer calories.

8. Water
Your body needs plenty of water to process calories and burn fat. If you aren't giving yourself enough water, you're slowing your metabolism.
