The other day we were talking about avacados and if you didn’t know it, many people consider avocados one of the top ten superfoods. In addition to the fiber, they also contain monounsaturated fat that may help lower cholesterol levels. Avocados offer a concentrated source of potassium, lutein and vitamin E, which contributes to strong bones and healthy skin. A few slices of avocado significantly increases the nutritional value of any meal, from scrambled eggs at breakfast, to salads and sandwiches. As a superfood, it also kicks up your metabolism, making it one of the most readily available top fat burning foods.
The next surprise is grass-fed beef.
Choose it over the grain fed beef carried by most grocery stores, if it’s available. Grass fed cattle has higher levels of vitamins, especially vitamin E, and minerals that are essential to a healthy, balanced diet. Just think about that for a minute. What do cows eat when they are let out to graze? They eat grass because it is natural. Since that is what cows naturally gravitate towards for sustenance, should you be eating the cows that are eating their natural diet instead of some grain, chemical and antibiotic mixture that hardly anyone knows where it came from.
Wild caught salmon shares many of the same heart healthy characteristics as grass fed cattle as well. The primary difference between these foods and others is that they have higher fatty acid content. Increased levels of omega 3 have been proven to have positive effects on overall health. It can reduce inflammation and help prevent heart disease. These best fat burning foods can help you lose weight and keep it off when added to a healthy, balanced diet and exercise regimen.

Diet and nutrition can be very complex and confusing topics if you don’t know where to start. And it can be a bit difficult if you are trying to lose weight and find the best fat burning foods. Every day we are inundated with information on how dangerous fat and cholesterol are and that a balanced diet is necessary for a healthy body.
The problem is that prolonged low-fat diets aren’t necessarily good for us either. With all of the conflicting information about what is good for us and not so good, you may be surprised to learn many of the top fat burning foods actually have fat and cholesterol. This would be he good kind that helps our bodies function better and provides essential vitamins and minerals.
One of the first top fat burning foods is egg yolks. What! Egg yolks? Don’t let the fact that it has fat and cholesterol scare you away. That tiny little yellow gem is packed with omega 3 oil, the good type of cholesterol that helps balance the bad and is nutrient rich. When eaten in conjunction with the egg whites, it makes the protein easier to digest. Avocados are another natural food that is considered “fatty”. However, they are also filled with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The fiber they provide helps keep us full longer, which reduces your daily caloric intake.
Most of the time it is not the amount of calories that you take in, it is what kind of calories you are eating that make the difference. Come back for our next post on other fat burning foods.

Proponents of low carb meals such as the Adkins diet believe that if the blood sugar and insulin levels cause weight gain, then decreasing the carbs will allow for weight loss. The body can break down the fat stores for the energy it needs. Generally speaking, low carb diet plans focus on meat, poultry and fish with dairy products and eggs as secondary sources of nutrition. There are many reasons that people choose low carb diets. The first is to lose weight.
These kind of diets have been proven to promote significant fat loss in a relatively short period of time, but unfortunately, they are not really all that healthy. Another reason people choose to focus on low carb meals is that they enjoy the type of food and portion sizes that accompany most plans. Usually these plans involve eating a lot of meat, sometimes even a lot of red meat and we pretty much know that isn’t the best thing to be doing to your body.
Cutting out a major type of nutrient, such as carbs, for an extended period of time is not healthy. However, if you are looking for a way to jump-start your weight loss and achieve your goals, this type of program may work for you but, please remember that there is a lot more to your health than just losing weight. Most people slowly wean themselves away from these plans and begin incorporating healthy grains, fruits and vegetables for long-term maintenance. And that is a much better long term diet solution.

A few years ago, low carb meals and diet plans gained widespread popularity. One of the more popular of all reduced carb plans was the Atkins Diet. In fact, it was one of the most popular diets of all time. These diets touted that weight loss could be achieved by increasing protein and fat and reducing or cutting out carbohydrates all together.
Although some people have found success in losing weight by cutting carbs on a short-term basis, it is not a healthy long-term solution. Carbohydrates are one of the three main macro-nutrients essential for good health and efficient body functions. Keeping a low-carb diet, for even a short period of time can be difficult. There are a number of companies that have certified nutrition experts who have created meals designed to contain less than 17 carbs per serving.
While experts agree that low carb meals are not the same as no carb meals, there is no one single definition of what “low carb” actually is. There is no definitive number of carbohydrates that make a diet low-carb. Theoretically, the goal of this type of diet is to replace while flour, sugar, starches, fruits and vegetables. This significantly reduces the number of carbs in your diet. Proper portions of lean entrees replace these foods. When prepared correctly they are also low in fat. In many cases, the program provides participants with customized meals that are quite expensive by the way.
Carbohydrates naturally raise blood sugar levels. The insulin that is produced as a result prevents fat breakdown, which makes it difficult to lose weight. Come back tomorrow when we discuss more about low carb diets and losing weight.
