DIETING FOODS TOP 10

Need to cast off a pound or two?You are most likely doing all the usual dieting basics.Watching what you eat, trying to cut down calories, and adding some exercise to the mix. Regardless of all the things that you are doing it’s still VERY hard to lose weight.

What you need to ADD to the mix is a boost to your metabolism.  After asking around I discovered there are quite a few things in my diet already that are actually good for boosting the metabolism.

Some of them are:

 

1.     Green Tea. Not only a good source for anti-oxidants, however, it actually boosts your metabolism too. Give a go at some brewed iced green tea.It is not only a healthier substitute to soda, Snapple and other chemically laden beverages; it will also rev up your metabolism.

2.     Spicy Foods. Just add some hot red peppers over your pasta dish or to your egg white omelet and you may boost your metabolism as much as 8%. Spicy foods heat up the body, therefore, to cool down your body requires calories, meaning an increase in your metabolism. Here is why: Capsaicin (a chemical found in jalapeno and cayenne peppers) temporarily stimulates your body to release more stress hormones, which speeds up your metabolism and causes you to burn more calories.

3.     Cold Water. Not only does filling up with 8+ glasses of water a day help flush away toxins and waste, however, it will curb your appetite and increase your metabolic rate. Studies have suggested that five or six ice cold glasses of water could support you by burning about 10 extra calories a day.

4.     Fiber Rich Food.  Add oatmeal to your diet.Low in cholesterol, but rich in fiber. Just make sure to choose steel cut or rolled oats, sorry no instant oatmeal – you won’t get the full benefit of vitamins, minerals and fiber.

5.     Soup. Soup is a terrific appetite suppressant because it’s made up of a mostly of liquids. Be mindful and use a water based broth with lots of vegetables and lean protein like chicken or turkey. You will eat a reduced amount and burn fat faster by filling up first with a bowl of soup.

6.     Grapefruit.No kiddding some diets consist of grapefruit as the main course.  The unique chemical properties in this vitamin C packed fruit reduce insulin levels, which burn fat and promote weight loss.

7.     Add Fruit. Fruit eaters eat fewer calories overall. Great at nourishing those sugar cravings.  Fruit like apples and pears are generally low in calories but high in fiber making you feel full longer so you eat less.

8.     Broccoli.  This nutritious vegetable is part of the cabbage family and has plenty of vitamin A, folate, and fiber. Broccoli not only fights fat but also contains powerful phytochemicals that boost your immunity and protect against disease.

9.     Yogurt. It incorporates calcium, protein and many other nutrients plus good bacteria for your digestive tract.

10.  Lean Protein. Turkey and Chicken – protein can help boost metabolism, lose fat and build lean muscle tissue so you burn more calories.

 

Lastly, consider all natural herbal metabolism boosters as a supplement to all the above!
