3 Phenomenal Fat Burning Foods

As a contributor to various health and fitness publications, I get a lot of exposure to information that many people find hard to believe or too good to be true. Nowhere is this more common than when discussions about the best fat burning foods arise. In this article, I’ll share 3 of the best for excellent health and effective weight loss. While everybody knows that fruits and vegetables should make up a significant portion of their regular diet, there are several foods most people would be surprised to see on the list. These shockers are delicious everyday foods that are easy to prepare and stimulate your body for optimal fat loss. With that said, let’s begin.

Fat Burning Food #1: Egg Yolks

Shocking, isn’t it? Most people are apprehensive when faced with this surprising fact, but egg yokes –rich in fat and cholesterol- can actually be a great tool. There are plenty of chronic dieters who’ve grown accustomed to the notion that fat and cholesterol are inherently bad things and this simply isn’t true. Government health and nutrition guides actually encourage that 30% of the calories you consume on a daily basis should come from healthy fats, and there’s plenty of that in egg yolks!

Egg yolks are not just rich in GOOD cholesterol and healthy fats, there are full of nutiritional benefits that cross the spectrum –protein, vitamins, minerals, and trace nutrients- and the concentration of these good things only increases when you’re eating cage-free eggs from roaming hens. Finally, the healthy fats in eggs help to regulate and balance your own fat profile, making the fat that is in your system most beneficial to you.

Fat Burning Food #2: Avocados

Another ‘fatty food,’ avocados have risen to prominence in the western world as of late and with good reason. If you like creamy textures in your foods, there is no better place to get it than in this miracle fruit; they are absolutely jam packed with fiber, antioxidants and vitamins too. And because they are so rich in fat, like egg yolks, they help to regulate your appetite and the fat burning hormones in your body. Avocado is a great addition to almost any meal throughout the day, whether it be with eggs in the morning, sandwiches at lunch or a healthy dinner dish!

Fat Burning Food #3: Grass-fed Beef

You know how crazy we are about free-range eggs, and we’re the same about grass-fed beef. Cattle are evolutionarily designed to eat grass -not corn and not grain. Unfortunately, most of the beef we see in the supermarket comes from cows who were we fed with the latter.

Grass-fed beef actually has way higher quantities of healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, quality protein and vitamins, all of which contribute to regulated fat levels, muscle-building and ultimately weight loss.

If you take two things from reading this article, make sure that you remember how important healthy fat is to your diet and how beneficial food can be if you’re getting it from a quality source. Until next time, enjoy the journey towards weight loss success!
