Losing Weight By Eating Fat Burning Foods

What comes to mind when you think of burning fat? Maybe the need to eat less than you want to eat? Fat burning can't happen if you ever feel full, right? Actually, the reality is much different from this. Recent studies have shown that this isn't the case at all and, in fact, the standard calories in versus calories out argument is not what burns fat. New studies show that fat loss and fat gain are primarily governed by insulin. By regulating the types of food that you eat, you can reduce the insulin levels in your blood and start to really see the fat burn.
--------------------------------------------------------
So if you would like to see some serious fat burn, the first thing you can do is avoid foods that cause spikes in insulin. For the most part these are foods that you might been told to avoid as part of other popular low carbohydrate diets. For example, foods that are processed or sweet such as white bread, pasta, candy, and soda. These foods actually create the opposite effect of someone looking for a fat burning diet. Eating these foods causes a spike in insulin, which in turn tells your body's cells to store fat instead of burn it.
---------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand, a food that burns fat is one that does not cause these spikes in insulin. When they are consumed, foods such as meat, vegetables, and beans do not cause insulin levels to spike. As a result of this, your body can use the energy it already had stored much more readily. In turn, it burns fat over the course of the day.
---------------------------------------------------------
In addition to this philosophy of avoiding foods that cause spikes in insulin, a great part of a fat burning diet involves eating at least thirty grams of protein for breakfast. Also, make sure that the calories of this fat burning breakfast are made up of at least 30% protein. If you have difficulty eating breakfast, a protein shake might be your best bet.
---------------------------------------------------------
Another surprising fact about burning fat is that it does not necessarily need to involve consistent exercise. Although there are many clear benefits of leading an active lifestyle, but participants in recent studies are not reporting seeing fat burn as a result of exercise. This might go completely against what you previously believed burns fat, but it is hard to argue with real numbers. In addition, a nice point about these findings is that they are very easy to test. If you are unsure whether or not you believe them, just try going a week without insulin spiking foods and measure your results. If you see that it is burning fat then you can feel confident about the changes you have made.

If you're having trouble questioning the calories in versus calories out theory, just take a look at the current obesity rates in the United States--nearly one third of American adults are obese (meaning that they have a BMI over 30). If the previous science had been correct (i.e. calories in versus calories out), then it is hard to imagine why the United States reached this level of obesity. By reassessing our views on burning fat, we can probably make some big improvements in health as a country. If you really want to see fat burn, go ahead and give this type of diet a try. The worst case scenario is that it does not work. (0.2%)The best case is that you finally see a method that really burns fat. (99.8%)
