23 Fat Burning Foods.........foods that will make you skinny

Some foods have a high thermogenic effect, so you burn calories just by eating them, while others contain compounds and nutrients that boost your metabolism, helping you to burn fat fast.

Keeping insulin low allows for the release of fatty acids. Fat cannot cannot be released when insulin levels are high.

Here are some of them.....

1. Chillies - Capsaicin, the compound that gives chilli peppers their heat, raises the body’s temperature and fires up the metabolism.

2. Oily Fish - Omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish help to boost the body’s fat-burning enzymes and regulate metabolism. 

3. Celery - Celery has a slight negative calorie count, which means you use more energy eating it than it contains. Plus it’s full of fiber, so it fills you up.

4. Oats - Oats are high in soluble fiber, which lowers cholesterol and fat in the blood. And because they digest slowly, they don’t raise your blood sugar, and so keep you feeling full for longer. Even better, because they’re a whole grain, the body burns lots of calories just digesting them. 

5. Green Tea - Celebrated for its thermogenic (fat-burning) properties, green tea also contains the amino acid theanine which helps reduce stress.

6. Freekeh - Freekeh is packed with protein and has four times as much fiber as brown rice and twice as much as quinoa (so the body has to work hard and expend energy to digest it).  As well as acting as a prebiotic, promoting good bacteria along your digestive tract, it is low on the glycemic index – so keeps you feeling full.

7. Apples - Apples are high in the soluble fiber pectin, which helps limit the amount of calories your cells can absorb.

8. Chicken - When you eat something like lean chicken, your body burns about 30% of the calories it contains during the digestion process.

9. Brown Rice - Eat whole grains, like brown rice, and you’ll burn lots of calories just digesting them.

10. Cinnamon -  You only need to eat a quarter to two teaspoons of cinnamon a day to reduce blood sugar levels and cut cholesterol from 10 to 25 percent.

11. Low Fat Dairy -  the calcium, vitamin D, and low-fat protein in skimmed milk and zero-fat yogurt can trigger weight loss and help build and maintain lean muscle. And the more lean muscle you have - the more fat you burn.

12. Grapefruit - Eating grapefruit helps lowers insulin levels, regulating your blood sugar and metabolism.

13. Coconut Oil - Coconut oil is high in medium-chain triacylglycerols, a chemical compound that encourages the body to burn fat for energy.

14. Eggs - The body expends more energy processing protein than carbohydrates or fat. Eggs are a great choice-which actively reduces thr level of bad cholestrol in your blood.

15. Blueberries - Blueberries aren't just packed with powerful antioxidants. The fruit may also help fight fat. It cut the number of fat cells in the body by up to three-quarters, breaking down existing fat cells and preventing new ones from forming.

16. Watermelon - Amino acid arginine in watermelon enhances oxidation of fat and glucose in the body.

17. Chia Seeds - Chia seeds are very high in soluble fiber - which, in addition to filling you up, helps prevent the absorption of fat in the body.

18. Beans - Beans are high in resistant starch, which means that half the calories they contain are not absorbed. They also reduce blood sugar levels, and create the fatty acid butyrate, which may burn fat faster.

19. Pumpkin Seeds - High in omega-3 fatty acids, pumpkin seeds are believed to decrease the body’s ability to store fat. They’re also rich in protein, which helps to keep the appetite in check.

20. Avocados - Avocados are high in fat but it's the healthy monounsaturated kind that's easily burned for fuel during exercise and actually encourages the body to burn fat. Avocados also blunt insulin release and promote calcium absorption, both of which are important for enhancing fat loss.

21. Water - Water is excellent in weight loss.

22. Nuts - They are high in healthy fats, essential fatty acids, and fat soluble vitamins. They even have fiber and protein as an added natural bonus.
