Do you know that you can lose weight by
eating certain foods? Sounds unbelievable, I know. After all, the so-called 'experts'
have probably always advised you to starve in order to lose weight. Now, the
foods I'm going to tell you about don't contain any special metabolism-boosting
chemicals that can help you with quick weight loss.
The fact is that your body needs to burn a
lot of calories in order to digest these 'special' foods. As you might be
aware, the more calories you burn, the faster you lose weight!
As we become older, our metabolic rate
slows down considerably! Ever wondered why most people gain weight during their
middle age? During middle age, a person's metabolic rate becomes low; hence he
is not able to burn as much fat as he used to during his youth. Eating these
'special' foods is, however, a good way of boosting your metabolic rate! In
this article I will tell you about some of these foods:
1. Green Tea: If you are in the habit of drinking
morning tea, replace it with green tea! Ordinary tea is not bad, but green tea
is even better! It contains fat burning chemicals which will help you with
weight loss. It is no wonder that many of the weight loss supplements available
in the market have green tea as a common ingredient!
2. Peanut butter: Peanut butter is a great
replacement for the ordinary butter. Unlike the ordinary butter, which is rich
in fat, peanut butter is rich in protein and fiber, both of which will help you
with weight loss. While protein will help you burn fat by building lean muscle
mass, fiber will help in suppressing your appetite for a long time.
Peanut butter is available from any local
store but I would recommend that you buy the natural ones and avoid the popular
commercial brands. Or if you want, prepare it at home! Peanut butter makes for
a great breakfast when combined with wholegrain wheat!
3. Almond: There are two types of fat available:
the good and the bad fats. The bad fats should be avoided because they make you
fat! The good fats, on the other hand, supply your body with essential
nutrients such as fatty acids. Almond is one such food. It is rich in fatty acids
and protein. Almond helps you burn fat by boosting your metabolic rate!
4. Beans: How successfully you are able to
suppress your hunger will determine how fast you are able to lose weight. Beans
make for a great appetite supplement. Since they are rich in fiber, they help
to keep your stomach full for a long time.
