Foods that burn FAT

Weight Loss Articles : Foods that burn FAT by Rula Saba

I here would like to share with you my story about loosing weight. I gained significant weight after I had my two daughters. It was hard to loose it especially after the second baby.

The diets that I selected were mainly those that would help me loose weight fast. With such diets, I lost about 10 pounds in the first couple of weeks, but it was very difficult to loose any more after that. I used low carb diets, Atkins (0 carb diet), South Beach, and a few others. But none of them was the answer to my problem.

I am not really sure why the aforementioned diets did not work for me although they are advertised to be effective. I later noticed that they all have one thing in common, which is to starve or completely stay away from certain foods (e.g. no carbs, or no fat) which made me crave for them after not having them for some time. This led me to go back and eat even more than I used to before starting a diet.

I then realized that I should look for a permanent diet scheme that can become part of my life style. I did a lot of research on healthy fat burning diets until I eventually discovered the answer to my problem. Below is a collection of different tips that I gathered from the various sources:

- Firstly, eating the proper food is the key to loosing weight. The proper food is mainly the healthy and fat burning one. Such a food should be good for me and good for my whole family. .i.e. no need to cook a special diet food for myself different from the one prepared for the rest of the family's - No need to completely stop eating any kind of food (carb, fat, protein, fruits...) nor starve - Eat more than 3 meals a day. 5 to 6 small portion meals 2 to 3 hours apart is recommended - No snacks between meals - Know what to eat and enjoy it

Specific tips:

- Eat baked and grilled foods. Limit fried foods - Limit fat intake (e.g. small amount of oil spray can be used when needed to fry) - When craving for fatty food, eat it in small portions in replacement of one of my 5-6 daily meals provided that no more fatty food eaten that day - Limit sugar intake. Safe Sweetners can be used as a replacement - Eat foods that are fiber rich as they limit fat absorption in the body (35g of fiber or more daily is recommended) - Eat whole wheat and multi grain breads. - Eat white meats and limit red meats - Limit salt intake as salt stores weight and stop the weight loss process - Don't get hungry. I always take food with me when I plan to be outside the house for a while. I pack a Sandwich, an apple, yogurt, Wheat bread sticks, or a high fiber cereal bar - Eat wheat pasta instead of white pasta. Wheat pasta is served in a good number of restaurants these days - When dining out, stay away from creamy meals (e.g. creamy pastas). For those creamy rich plates that I like so much, I tend to have them only on occasions or once every long while.



This type of life style made me feel that I am living like a normal person but at the same time it helped me loose weight. Once I started this life style diet I started to feel lite and gradually started to loose weight. It took me a couple of months to loose 10 pounds but during that time there were a number of holidays that passed by during which I ordered some of favorite delicious cakes and chocolates. I have eaten a small portion of what I ordered and I had some once a day for a couple of days in replacement of one of my daily meals. This slight deviation from my diet did not contribute to any gain to my weight.
