If you want to lose a few pounds and you know that hard diets are not for you, you should just try eating healthy and exercising… but augment your diet by knowing the foods that burn fat. It is a good way to stay positive about things your eating while enjoying them at the same time.

One thing to remember is that some foods just do not have many calories and your body will burn those few calories off just in the digestive process of eating them without any futher effort on your part – these are called negative calorie foods.

Do not be suckered in by pills and shakes that claim to do the same thing. Firstly, those products are expensive. Secondly, they are mostly scams–after all, you cannot even tell what is in the supplement. How do you KNOW it is any good? You cannot know. Thirdly, why would you waste your time with all of that when simple foods easily available to you could do the same thing?

You should consult your doctor before you undergo any change in your diet. However, there are many worse ways to lose weight than by improving your diet content to include more fruits and vegetables. Just make sure that you eat more than fruits and vegetables. The food pyramid still applies (though maybe not in the ratios they suggest!).

If you eat only fat burning food, your body will get used to it over time and you will not lose as much weight. You will also never be able to go back to your old eating habits without putting on a great deal of weight. It is better just to eat balanced from the start.

By adding more fruits and vegetables to an already healthy diet, you will stimulate your metabolism. You also need things with a lot of vitamin C. You will have more energy and will be more likely to keep up with your exercise routine. Your immune system will improve and you will feel better as well (and get sick less).

You want things like grapes, apples, berries, and any fruit with a rind. If you put them all in a smoothie, it is a great way to drink something delicious and get your fruit count over with in one go. Add some protein to that smoothie and you have the perfect post workout shake!

Juices are another option but be careful that you only buy ones with no added sugars or high fructose corn syrup. That will completely defeat the purpose.

Vegetables should be fresh. Frozen veggies have a lot added to them in order that they stay tasting good (but, if you choice is eating frozen vegetables or having a meal without them – choose the frozen veggies).
One of the greatest vegetables that has almost no calories but still tastes great is celery. It can but put in any savory dish and will add a lot of taste with no calories. It is also great with peanut butter as a source of protein and good, essential fats.

People once thought that milk products made you fat, but it is actually the other way around. Smartly eating milk products, like low fat milk, yogurt, and cheese boosts your metabolism. Ice cream and cream cheese will do little for you in that area except pack on the pounds.

One thing people do not really know about is spicy food. Spicy food can jump-start your metabolism. Hot peppers are especially potent. But do not force yourself to eat spicy food if you do not already like it. Your body can have a bad reaction to such a change. One must remember to eat a good deal of meat like lean red meat and poultry, too, especially if there is a lot of exercising going on.

Of course, this is just a small list of foods that burn fat. For a more complete list, you can read more at AmazingSixPackAbs.com.
