Burn, Calories, Burn Five Foods That Will Help You Lose Weight
Whether you are speeding up your
metabolism or using a food with a
very high thermogenic effect, your
body is expelling calories.
On the next few pages, we are
going to explore several great
options to add to your diet to help
you lose calories, fat, and weight.
Hot Peppers
Want to fight calories and boring
diet food?
Try adding cayenne or hot sauce to
anything that needs a kick.
Chili peppers contain capsaicin, a
compound that makes your body
temperature rise, which promotes
your body to burn extra calories.
Lean Meats
When consuming protein your body uses
about a third of the calories in the meat to
digest it.
Meaning your body will burn 90 calories of
a 300-calorie steak just to break it down.
Talk about a win-win situation!
Whole Grains
Fiber is the key.
Whole grains have much more
fiber than their processed and
bleached cousins. These whole
foods destroy twice as many
calories than the others.
Aim for long grain brown rice,
whole grain pasta or oatmeal.
Yes, we are telling you to enjoy more
cheese!
As long as you stick to low-fat dairy,
you can definitely enjoy it as a snack
or on top of your favorite foods.
Dairy is a wealth of calcium and
vitamin D, both of which help sustain
a high metabolism by building and
maintaining muscle mass.

Lentils
When your body lacks iron your
metabolism slows down and less oxygen is
transported through your body.
With only one cup of lentils, your body will
receive over a third of its recommended
daily intake of iron.
Lentils are also low in calories and are
filling. That one cup would only set you
back 230 calories but keep you full due to
the fiber and complex carbohydrates.
Yep, your refreshing iced green tea can help
you lose weight and keep you cool on a hot
day.
A report in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition found that green tea helped
participants drop more than 6 pounds in a
span of only 8 weeks by drinking 4 cups a
day.
The reason is EGCG, which can speed up
your metabolism while you quench your
thirst.
