Fat burning Super foods
So-called
superfoods are nutritional powerhouses that help build bones, prevent chronic
diseases, improve your eyesight, and even keep your mind sharp. These foods can
also contribute to your weight loss and help keep you slim!
Oats
Ø Oats are rich in fiber, so a
serving can help you feel full throughout the day. Just a half cup packs 4.6
grams of Resistant Starch, a healthy carb
that boosts metabolism and burns fat.
Avocados
Ø There's no reason to be afraid
of eating fats—as long as they're the right fats.
Oleic acid, a compound in
avocados' healthy monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), may trigger your body to
actually quiet hunger. Stick to a quarter or a half of an avocado and watch
that belly fat melt away. The creamy fruit is also packed with fiber and
protein.
Blueberries
Ø Best known for their anti-aging
effects, blueberries, while tiny, are a powerful figure-friendly eat: A 1-cup
serving sets you back only 80 calories, and helps you feel full with 4 grams of
fiber.
Brown rice
Ø Brown rice is a heartier,
fiber-packed alternative to less-than-super white rice. A half-cup serving
contains 1.7 grams of Resistant Starch, a
healthy carb that boosts metabolism and burns fat.
Plus, brown rice is a
low-energy-density food, meaning it's heavy and filling but low in calories.
One study found that women who ate a higher-energy-density diet gained three
times as much weight over six years than women eating a low-energy-density
diet.
Almonds
Ø Nuts are another superfood rich
in healthy fats that help you slim down.
Almonds in particular can help you
shed pounds: In one study, people who added a daily helping of the nuts to a
low-cal diet lost more weight than people who followed the same diet but
swapped almonds for a carb-heavy snack like crackers.
