Are there any foods that burn fat?

Question

I'm in very good shape but cant quite get a six pack. Are there any foods I can add to my diet that will help me loose fat and not muscle?

Answer 1

Green tea

Answer 2

Drinking hot, green tea works real well! And a study conducted has proved that eating grape fruit daily will help you shed pounds. It actually works along with a good amount of exercise! Make sure you get enough protein for that six pack. Try eating some fish, it contains 7 grams of protein per ounce! Good luck!

Answer 3

There are no foods that will specifically promote fat loss. The three food groups are somewhat interchangeable when it comes to energy. To lose fat one needs to be in a calorie deficient state.

Answer 4

Cut way back on your carbohydrates and add a lot of protein to your diet with egg whites and protein shakes or drinks. Remember to exercise your abs, crunches are great for this. Hope this helps :)

Answer 5

I'd suggest eating a low fat diet. There are no foods that "burn" fat but if you stay away from sugars, starches and fats you won't add to the fat you have as easily.

Answer 7

I've heard that celery counts as negative calories, but I don't know if that is true.

Answer 8

This 7-day eating plan can be used as often as you like. If correctly followed, it will clean out your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. After only 7 days of this process, you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 pounds and possibly 17 pounds, and experience an abundance of energy.

SOUP:

1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
3 large bunches green onions
1 large can of beef or chicken broth (no fat)
1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle) use entire package (noodles ok)
1 bunch of celery
2 cans or fresh green beans
2 lbs. Carrots
2 Green Bell Peppers

Cut veggies in small to medium pieces and cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes and add Lipton Soup mix, reduce heat. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 Tablespoon chili powder or curry. You can also add hot sauce or
Worcestershire sauce to suit your taste. Experiment. Simmer and continue to cook until veggies are just tender. Chop fresh parsley or Cilantro and add after you turn off heat if desired.

This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.

DRINKS:
Unsweetened juices
Tea (also herbal)
Coffee
Cranberry juice
Skim milk
Water, water, water

DAY ONE
Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today.

DAY TWO
All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn. Eat veggies along with the soup. At dinnertime tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don't eat any fruits through today.

DAY THREE
Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds.

DAY FOUR
Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is the milk but on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Proteins and calcium to lessen the cravings for sweets.

DAY FIVE
Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. Eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SIX
Beef and veggies, eat to your heart's content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2-3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SEVEN
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, again, be sure to stuff yourself and eat the soup. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.

By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again.

This diet is fast. The secret lies within the principle that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time. Because of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol.

Due to the variety of digestive systems in individuals, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need caffeine after the third day.

The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for the other days.

Continue on the diet as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically.
