BURN FAT BY EATING & DRINKING

Recently I gave you the choice to decide what I was going to write about via my Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/mmillarnutrition

So this article is to help you burn fat while still eating a good amount of food. Well exercising is obviously one of the best ways to get in shape but dieting is key. Good eating separates people who have amazing bodies from those people in 'alright' shape. Within this article I will tell you what foods increase your metabolism. This means by eating food you are actually burning fat which will decrease your weight and waist line. 

The Foods:

Green tea 
This raises your heart rate which makes your system burn calories faster. It also has many minerals and vitamins which nourish the body. Studies have shown that it promotes weight loss by stimulating the body to burn abdominal fat. That's right this tea will decrease your waist line. 

Chilies 
Chilies! This actually raises you core temperature very very slightly, which is why people go red and start sweating. As your body is hotter the chemical reactions happen quicker within which promotes fat burning. Your body at the same time is trying to cool you down (the sweating) this means your body is working harder so you are burning more calories. It is also easy to add to dishes, just chop a few and whack them in and there you go.

Water 
Well, your body is made up of about 70-80% water. Your skin is made up of it, your muscles are made of it and so are alot of other things like organs. Dehydration makes you look bad and feel bad. It also makes you want to eat more because your body wants the water out of the food. This means your calorie intake heightens and you'll put on weight. Water also clears toxins and helps you transport vitamins and minerals around the body. SO UP YOUR INTAKE. 

Broccoli 
This super food is very low in calories and very high in vitamin c, so this food will not only promote weight loss but make your skin look better also. This is because vit c increases your collagen production. There is alot of fiber which helps you clear toxins and makes you feel much more full. This means you wont want to snack. 

Greek Yogurt (low fat)
This dairy product contains probiotics. This is friendly bacteria which helps the body reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs. It is also rich in calcium and vitamin D helping maintain a good metabolism. 

Oats
Oats are rich in fiber and are very filling. Again, this means you will be less likely to snack because you will be full.

Almonds  
These are full of protein, fiber and good fats. Studies have shown that almonds can promote weight loss and improve cholesterol levels. A few almonds fill you up alot also! They are perfect for a healthy snack. 

Black Coffee
Caffeine kicks your metabolism up some gears. It also helps with the breakdown of fat. So have a cup in the morning and you will feel more awake and you will lose the pounds. 

Blueberries 
These little blue gems are loaded with antioxidants. They satisfy that sweet tooth and are brilliant to snack on. They don't have many calories in them and have a high water and fiber content.

This will take time, don't expect things to happen over night as it's not magic. By adding these foods into your diet in time you will lose weight and feel better. Keep in mind though to look really good you have to both exercise and eat well. I would also recommend that you eat smaller meals at a more frequent rate. this is much better than eating three massive meals a day or even the worst thing you could do which is not eat all day and chug down loads of food at night. By keeping yourself topped up throughout the day you will not go feeling hungry, you will have alot more energy, you will feel alot better and you will reach your fitness goal/goal weight. 

Didn't have all the food listed!


I hope this is what you're looking for. 

Like the group and I will ask again soon what you want me to write about!
