FAT BURNING SECRETS ... Proven Fat Burning Tips Revealed


Tired of hiding your muffin top under layers of clothing? You are not alone. About onethird
of American adults are overweight. Now is the time to transform your soft, flabby
body into the toned, sexy physique of your dreams. Forget yo-yo diets and easy weight
loss promises that leave you feeling like a fat failure. It is possible to have a lean, traffic
stopping body you can’t wait to show off. You’ve stumbled upon the fat burning secrets
television gurus don’t want you to know about. Get ready to throw your fat clothes away
for good.
It’s vital to know how fat is deposited in the body, so you have an understanding of how
to make the body lose it. Your body needs food to acquire the necessary energy to
function and feed its cells. The calories in food have energy commonly referred to as
calories. The more calories the food contains the more fuel the body can acquire from it.
In order to use the foods energy, your body must first digest the food. The process of
digestion causes the body to burn some old energy to get the new energy from the food.
The more difficult it is to digest the food, the more energy/calories are burned.
The body's fuel is categorized as protein, carbohydrates or fats. This fuel nourishes the
body and keeps the body functioning. The left over calories are eventually stored in the
fat cells. Your body uses a part of the foods fuel for nutrition. The excess fuel is
eventually stored up as fat in the “fat cells” of your body, around the kidneys and liver.
Fat cells are often deposited in the chest, hips and waist region. As the cells become
bigger, your physique acquires a doughy look. The body has a limited number of fat
cells, and there is only so much fat these cells can store. Once the threshold is reached,
fat begins to accumulate in the muscle lining of your arms and thighs, creating unsightly,
flabby limbs.

SECRET #1: EAT FAT BURNING FOODS

All foods can cause fat creation, but certain foods actually help burn fat. Some foods
have minerals or vitamins that raise metabolism and act as virtual fat burners. There are
negative calorie foods with low calories that burn extra calories during digestion. Other
foods, even eaten in small quantities, deliver a feeling of fullness with very little calories.
Sticking to the right whole foods will drastically reduce the fat profile of your body.
By eating these fat burning foods at the right time, in the correct amount, the body fat
profile starts to reduce. Add in foods that lower the likelihood of fat depositing in your
body for an extra boost. Here is a list of everyday foods that double as secret fat
burners.

Poultry

Poultry such as chicken has special assets that increase the body’s metabolic rate,
helping you melt extra fat away. Chicken is low in fat and carbohydrates with a good
protein profile. Proteins require a lot of energy to digest, and more energy for proteins
to be stored as fat. It is also a great source of iron, zinc, and niacin. For best results,
remove the skin from poultry before eating to avoid excess fat.

Salmon & Tuna

Salmon and tuna are good sources of protein that provides the body with healthy fats
from omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Both meaty fish, while satisfying, are also low in
calories and unhealthy saturated fat. Eating salmon positively effects leptin, the
hormone responsible for burning and storing calories. High leptin levels cause the body
to store fat. Salmon and tuna reduce leptin, giving your metabolism the boost it needs
to burn calories.

Other Lean Protein

As with other proteins, research has shown the thermic effect of protein is the most of
all the macronutrients. Protein require approximately 30% of its’ calories for digestion
and processing. Lean proteins also suppress the appetite reducing the tendency to
overeat. Though poultry has a lower fat profile, lean red meats such as top round, lean
sirloin, game and other white meat have a place in a fat burning diet.

Citrus Fruits

Citrus fruit hikes up the metabolism while supplying a big dose of vitamin C, a chemical
used in the process of fat burning. Citrus fruits are ranked as the best fat burning foods
you can eat. Oranges, grapefruit, apples and even tomatoes share these fat burning
qualities. With the large variety, mix several varieties to for different flavors and taste.
Citrus fruit effectively burns fat around the hips and waist.

Apples

An apple a day keeps the fat away. Apples contain a substance called pectin that
restricts the cells from absorbing fat and assists water absorption from food. This also
helps push fat deposits from the body. The antioxidants in apples may also reduce
excess belly fat from metabolic syndrome. Apples have a high level of soluble fiber that
helps you control hunger pain.

Berries

Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries – take your pick. Fruits as a
whole are packed with vitamins and minerals. They are low on calories and high in water
compared to refined foods. Excellent sources of fiber, berries boost the metabolism,
breaking down food and fats. Naturally sweet and delicious, a handful of berries will
keep you feeling fuller longer and help eliminate the craving for sugary glasses of
artificially flavored, empty calories.

Oatmeal

A large portion of oats calorie profile is soluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps control blood
sugar and helps you feel fuller longer. Oatmeal also lowers the risk of heart disease and
lowering cholesterol. Choose old fashioned or steel cut oatmeal and eat with fresh fruit.
Make sure to monitor your serving sizes during diet phases carefully.

Vegetables

Most vegetables (except for potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes) maintain low calories,
yet contain essential vitamins and minerals that improve the body's metabolism. Veggies
such as spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots and artichokes contain no fat and very low
carbohydrate levels. In fact, they aid in fat burning since your body uses more calories
to digest vegetables than they produce. The extra calories needed to break down food
are taken from body fat reserves. For example, one serving of Brussels sprouts has 50
calories, but the body needs 75 calories to digest. That’s 25 calories of body fat burned
just for eating your Brussels sprouts.

Beans

Beans are not only full of minerals; they are also low in calories and rich in amino acids.
The amino acids in lentils help decrease body fat while helping build muscles, and
maintain stable blood sugar. In addition, they are excellent sources of dietary fiber
keeping you satiated longer, reducing the urge to overeat.

Eggs

Eggs, one of the most nutrient dense foods, are a natural superfood. Their high levels of
protein rev up the metabolism and help you burn fat. Eggs are hands down one of the
best fat burning foods. Among other protein foods, eggs have the most abundant mix of
essential amino acids. Despite having low calories, they are packed with vitamin D,
vitamin B12, choline and selenium. It’s been proven eggs don’t contribute to bad
cholesterol, but does improve the good cholesterol needed for a healthy body. Eggs have
all the nutrients crucial for good health.

Almonds & Walnuts

Almond and walnuts are excellent sources of the healthy fats needed for the smooth
functioning of the body’s cell structure. Just an ounce of almonds has 12% of the daily
protein allowance and contains calcium and folic acid. Plus, the form of vitamin E in
walnuts is especially beneficial. A handful of nuts is a tasty, crunchy snack to satisfy your
hunger pains.

Pine Nuts

According to scientist, pine nuts contain an abundance of healthy fatty acids. These fatty
acids help eliminate fat accumulation in the abdominals. Pine nuts also increase satiety
level hormones along with the benefits of fat reduction.

SECRET #2: ADD FAT BOOSTERS TO YOUR DIET

Eating the right food will kick your metabolism into high gear and help you burn
unwanted fat. Combine fat burning foods with these fat boosters to push your
metabolism into overdrive.

Mustard

Tiny mustard seeds are packed with nutrition including: the amino acid tryptophan,
omega 3 fatty acids, selenium, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, calcium, iron,
niacin and zinc. They even have a bit of protein and fiber. The spicy Asian and Mexican
varieties temporarily speed up the metabolism like ephedrine or caffeine in a safe,
natural way. Adding spicy mustard delivers zest to your food and a nice fat loss boost.

Onions

Onions are aromatic, flavorful and low in calories. But, onions can also aid in weight loss.
They are a source of a nutrient called chromium. Chromium is said to improve insulin
and maintain stable blood sugar. So, onions help stop blood sugar crashes and the
resulting case of the munchies.

Coconut Oil

Coconuts boost the body's energy. Unlike margarine or shortening, coconut oil is full of
medium chain fatty acids used as an immediate supply of fuel. Use coconut oil in your
cooking to speed metabolism improve thyroid functioning and amplify fat burning.

Hot Peppers

The chemicals that give hot peppers their spice safely speeds up the heart rate. Some
people are able to burn up to 1,000 more calories every day from eating peppers. Spicy
foods like chilies and peppers trigger your body to burn fat. For their flavor and fat
burning properties, hot peppers are one of the best diet foods.

Green Tea

Green tea significantly reduces total fat in the waist and skin areas. Green tea has the
catechins, proven to raise your resting metabolic rate. That means you keep burning fat
longer, turning the body into a well-oiled fat burning machine. It has also been shown,
the catechins interact with the caffeine in green tea. A perfect substitute for coffee,
green tea is high in antioxidants making it a natural stimulate.

SECRET #3 INCREASE WATER INTAKE

Drinking more water helps the body reduce fat deposits. The kidneys do not function
correctly without enough water intake. If they don’t work properly, some of the load is
discarder to the liver. If the liver is doing the kidney’s work, it can’t concentrate on its’
main job of metabolizing fat. More fat will remain in the body and fat burning stops. So
drink the right amount of water improves metabolism and keeps your fat burning at full
capacity. Water also flushes out toxins and improves the body’s ability to stay healthy.

SECRET #4 – BUILD MUSCLES

Muscle keeps you metabolism active and burning calories. Adding muscle improves your
body fat composition ratio. Muscles are an active tissue that continually renews itself so
it always needs calories. While normal cardio burns fat only during the exercise, weight
training builds muscle ensuring body fat continues to burn throughout the day. The main
source of energy for muscles is fat. So, even when relaxing or sleeping, you continue to
burn calories. The more muscle mass on your frame the more positive effect on your
metabolism. To avoid your metabolism from getting sluggish and packing on fat it is
important to do weight resistant exercises to build muscle.

CONCLUSION

Now you have the secrets to a beautiful toned body in the palm of your hands. The only
thing standing in the way of a lean sexy physique is you. Adopt these fat burning secrets
into your lifestyle and you will see results in a matter of weeks. The right diet plan will
show you how to combine the fat burning foods to keep your body melting away the
flab. There are countless delicious recipes to make the switch painless. Add a weight
lifting exercise regime and you will sculpt your body into an object of desire. Don’t let
another day pass. The new you is ready to emerge.

Eat only when your hungry " The golden tip for weight loss"



If we do this we eat only to supply the demands of the body. We cannot
repeat too often the admonition, do not eat if not hungry.
If this plan were followed the present three meals-a-day plan would end.
Also the practice of many of eating between meals and in the evening
before retiring would cease. For most people real hunger would call for
about one meal a day, with occasionally some small amounts of fruit during
the day.
Hunger is the "voice of nature" saying to us that food is required. There is
no other true guide as to when to eat. The time of day, the habitual meal
time, etc., are not true guides.
Although genuine hunger is a mouth and throat sensation and depends
upon an actual physiological need for food, muscular contractions of the
stomach accompany hunger and are thought by physiologists, to give rise
to the hunger sensation.
Carlson, of the Chicago University, found that in a man who had been
fasting two weeks, these gastric "hunger" contractions had not decreased,
although there was no desire for food. The same has been observed in
animals. Indeed these contractions are seen to increase and yet they do
not produce the sensation of hunger. I do not consider these so-called
"hunger-contractions" as the cause of hunger. Real hunger is a mouth and
throat sensation.
But there is a difference between hunger and what is called appetite.
Appetite is a counterfeit hunger, a creature of habit and cultivation, and
may be due to any one of a number of things; such as the arrival of the
habitual meal time, the sight, taste, or smell of food, condiments and
seasonings, or even the thought of food. In some diseased states there is
an almost constant and insatiable appetite. None of these things can
arouse true hunger; for, this comes only when there is an actual need for
food.

One may have an appetite for tobacco, coffee, tea, opium, alcohol, etc., but
he can never be hungry for these, since they serve no real physiological
need.
Appetite is often accompanied by a gnawing or "all gone" sensation in the
stomach, or a general sense of weakness; there may even be mental
depression. Such symptoms usually belong to the diseased stomach of a
glutton and will pass away if their owner will refrain from eating for a few
days. They are temporarily relieved by eating and this leads to the idea that
it was food that was needed. But such sensations and feelings do not
accompany true hunger. In true hunger one is not aware that he has a
stomach for this, like thirst, is a mouth and throat sensation. Real hunger
arises spontaneously, that is without the agency of some external factor,
and is accompanied by a "watering of the mouth" and usually by a
conscious desire for some particular food.
Dr. Gibson says that, "The condition known as appetite, … with its source
and center in nervous desire, and its motive in self-indulgence, is a mere
parasite on life, feeding on its host--the man himself--whose misdirected
imagination invites it into his own vital household; while hunger, on the
other hand, is the original, constitutional prompter for the cell-world calling
for means to supply the true need and necessities of man's physical nature.
… Appetite does not express our needs, but our wants; not what we really
need, but what we think we need. It is imagination running riot, fashioning
out of our gluttonous greed an insatiable vampire which grows with our
wants, and increases its power until finally it kills us unless we determine to
kill it. … As long as our attention is absorbed in the pleasures of the table,
in the gratification of eating for its own sake, and in the introduction of new
combinations to bring about stimulating effects, we are increasing the
power of our appetite at the expense of our hunger."
The hungry person is able to eat and relish a crust of dry bread; he who
has only an appetite must have his food seasoned and spiced before he
can enjoy it. Even a gourmand is able to enjoy a hearty meal if there is
sufficient seasoning to whip up his jaded appetite and arouse his palsied
taste. He would be far better off if he would await the arrival of hunger
before eating.

There is no doubt of the truth of Dr. Geo. S. Weger's thought that "appetite
contractions in the stomach are often excited by psychic states, as
influenced by the senses." Appetite contractions thus aroused, are of
distinct advantage in digesting a meal if they are super-added to preexisting
hunger contractions. We know that these psychic states increase
the flow of the digestive juices--make the stomach "water" as well as the
mouth--and enhance digestion.
Dr. Claunch says, "the difference between true hunger and false craving
may be determined as follows: when hungry and comfortable it is true
hunger. When hungry and uncomfortable it is false craving. When a sick
person misses a customary meal, he gets weak before he gets hungry.
When a healthy person misses a customary meal, he gets hungry before
he gets weak."
If we follow the rule to eat only when truly hungry, those people who are
"hungry" but weak and uncomfortable would fast until comfort and strength
returned. Fasting would become one of the most common practices in our
lives, at least, until we learn to live and eat to keep well and thus eliminate
the need for fasting.
There are individuals who are always eating and always "hungry." They
mistake a morbid irritation of the stomach for hunger. These people have
not learned to distinguish between a normal demand for food and a
symptom of disease. They mistake the evidences of chronic gastritis or of
gastric neurosis for hunger.
Hunger, as previously pointed out, is the insistent demand for food that
arises out of physiological need for nourishment. Appetite, on the other
hand, is a craving for food which may be the result of several different
outside factors operating through the mind and senses. Anything that will
arouse an appetite will encourage one to eat, whether or not there exists an
actual need for food.
Hunger may be satisfied and appetite still persist, a not unusual thing. Our
many course dinners, with everything especially prepared to appeal to the
taste and smell, are well designed to keep alive appetite, long after hunger
has been appeased. No man is ever hungry when he reaches the dessert,
so commonly served after a many course dinner. Few, though filled to
repletion and perhaps uncomfortable in the abdomen, ever refuse to eat

the dessert. It is especially prepared to appeal to appetite. This style of
eating necessarily and inevitably leads to overeating and disease. Too
many articles of food at a meal overstimulate and induce overeating.
Hunger and the sense of taste are the only guides as to the quantity and
character of food required. If we eat when we are not hungry, and if the
delicate sensibilities of taste have been dulled and deadened by gluttonous
indulgence and by condiments, spices, alcohol, etc., it ceases to be a
reliable guide.
The unperverted instinct of hunger craves most keenly the food that is most
needed by the body and the unperverted taste derives the most pleasure
and satisfaction out of the food or foods demanded, and will be satisfied
when we have consumed sufficient of such food or foods to supply the
body's needs. But, if we have been in the habit of crowding the stomach
when there is no demand for food, just because it is meal time, or because
the doctor ordered it, and we know no other indication that enough food
has been consumed, than that the stomach can hold no more, we are
headed for disaster. The existence of a natural demand for food indicates
that food is required by the body and that the organs of the body are ready
to receive and digest it. Eating when there is no time, or as a social duty, or
because one has been able to stimulate an appetite, is a wrong to the
body. Both the quality and quantity, and the frequency of meals should be
regulated by the rules of hygiene rather than by those of etiquette and
convenience.
