Foods That Burn Fat

When you say “thermogenic,” many people instantly think of supplements or exotic herbs, hot spices or foods like cayenne, chili pepper, mustard, cider vinegar, guarana, green tea, etc., which “magically” ramp up your metabolism and burn off body fat.

Actually all foods are good for burning fat because it uses energy to digest them. This is known as the “thermic effect of food” (TEF). Obviously the best food for burning fat would be Whole Foods, and the most thermogenic fat burning food is lean protein from solid food, especially chicken breast, lean red meat, fish, seafood and also egg whites.

Protein powders are great for convenience but are not as thermogenic as real food. Whole foods increase your metabolism due to the thermic effect of whole food.

It is known that lean protein has he highest thermic effect. This is one of the reasons many bodybuilders eat a diet high in protein and achieved the leanest muscular physique.

When you combine the highest thermogenic lean protein foods with the right amount and type of essential fats with plenty of green vegetables and just the right amount of natural starch carbs and whole grain, your body will literally turn into a fat burning machine.

A simple way to put together a highly thermogenic fat burning meal is to select a green vegetable or fibrous vegetable such as asparagus, green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, salad vegetables, etc., and combine that with one of the lean proteins previously mentioned. That is the foundation of your fat burning meal. From there you add in some fruit and also starchy carbs (natural only) like brown rice, oats, or sweet potatoes to the degree your body can tolerate starches.
