Your Weight! Your Health! Your Skin!

We would want to know what foods would help us in the quest to lose weight in our most challenging place – the stomach. These foods will help take you to the right direction for your weight loss, and coupled with exercise, your stomach will definitely look flatter and sexier.

I encourage you to get at least some of these fat belly foods the next time you go grocery shopping.  Here they are:

• Vegetables – you cannot go wrong with these. My favorite ones include Broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach and cauliflower. The list can really go on, but you can just focus on the ones you enjoy and fill your fridge with them.

• Lean turkey or chicken sausage – with these you need to make sure that they are nitrite and nitrate free. Sometimes I get tired of these and I opt for grass-fed bison sausage, it just depends on how I am feeling

• Eggs – I love my eggs, and they are actually good contrary to what a lot of people think. A lot of people focus on egg whites, but I LOVE the yolk. It is nutritious and tastes the best, for me at least. Also, it has good cholesterol.

• Milk – not just any milk, my pick is coconut milk because it has good saturated fats that we should all consume as part of our health.

• Avocados – they too have great fats, they also have fiber and other nutrients that the body can use to function optimally.

• Chia or hemp seeds – these seeds are a great source of minerals, vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids. one thing to note about these seeds is that you should not buy pre ground. There is no need to grind these seeds, they can be used as they are whether you re eating them with yogurt and smoothies.

• Nuts – almonds, pecans and walnuts, I love them all. They taste good and they have healthy fats

• Cheese – Ricotta cheese or cottage. Need I say more?

• Fruits – They make great snacks and they have vitamins and nutrients that you should never let your body go without. from bananas, apples, peaches and pears to mangoes, pomegranates, kumquats, papaya, star fruit and a whole lot more. Do not forget berries, they contain anti-oxidants and other great nutrients. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, black raspberries as well as cherries – stock up as much as you want.

Stock your fridge with these foods and you will be on your way.

The foods that we eat literally make us what we are, how strong our bodies are and how great we look.

Fat burning foods for women and men are great to eat, but even more amazing, is the fact that they help us in our quest  to lose weight.

As we strive to have the bodies we want, I will take all the help I can help in getting there. If you are like me, you are going to love this list of foods.

• Fruits and Vegetables Rich In Vitamin C – Fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamin sources are great fat burners. Fruits that are rich sources of vitamin C include lemons, grapefruits and oranges, and vegetables that are rich in vitamin c are celery, carrots,and broccoli, just to mention a few.
• Lean meats – Lean meats are already great for you as they are lean, which means you are consuming less fat. Even more great about them is the fact that they are great sources of protein, and protein increases ones metabolism as the body works harder to digest them, and they also aid in building muscle. Muscles unlike fat, burn calories at a faster rate. Fish, turkey and chicken breasts without the skin are super good for you.
• Green tea – Green tea is great with all the antioxidants it contains and its fat burning advantage. if you are into hot beverages, green tea is the one to stock up on, because you can lose up to 80 calories, just from drinking 5 cups a day.
• Low fat yogurt - it is the calcium and the leucine in the yogurt that helps us burn the calories. Not having enough calcium in our bodies encourages our bodies to store fat.
• Foods containing a lot of fiber – Such foods like berries and oatmeal have a lot of fiber, and fiber helps us stay fuller for longer. The great thing about fiber is that the body will work harder to digest protein, therefore burning more calories.
• Water – it is not a food per se, but it is great addition to your weight loss. It will help your body in digesting the food that you are eating, and helps in flushing out toxins.
• Almonds and nuts – These are sources of protein and lots of healthy fats. You need healthy fats to function properly and to lose belly fat, so these foods are an essential and excellent addition to your regular meals.

These foods can come in handy, especially for those days when you just do not feel like gym or exercise.
