As strange as it might sound there are certain foods out there that when eat will technically help you burn fat. When I first learnt about this concept - some years back now - I scoffed at the idea; but after further investigation I realized that there was a lot of truth to the suggestion that certain foods really can help you burn fat.
The real truth of the matter is that certain foods will use up more of your calories during the digestion process than what is actually contained within them. For example if food 'A' contains 100 calories and it uses up 110 calories to digest it you'll burn-off 10 calories. Good 'eh?
Now you've got a little bit of theoretical knowledge behind this bizarre concept. I'll let you know which foods fit the bill.
The first category of fat burning foods is fruit. The following pieces of fruit are fantastic things to eat when you're dieting.
FruitApple - 40 calories, 10g carbohydrates - Apples are a great fat burning food because they are so versatile; many low fat recipes may contain this fruit.
Apricot - 9 calories, 7g carbohydrates - Although apricots are a very good fat burning food - because they contain less than 10 calories - they are pretty high in carbs for the amount of energy they give you. Therefore they are not the ideal food for people on low carb diets.
Blackberries (100g) - 50 calories, 12g carbohydrate - Berries such as these are great to eat when dieting. If you find yourself craving something sweet, don't reach for a chocolate bar grab a handful of blackberries. They are packed with natural goodness and sweetness.
Blueberries (100g) - 52 calories, 12g carbohydrate - These are great, they contain a nice level of calories and carbs and are ideal for high fiber diets due to their high fiber content.
Cherries (100g) - 53 calories, 12g carbohydrates - I love cherries they are so tasty and are very low in calories and pretty low in carbs. Great for any diet.
Grapes (100g) - 60 calories, 14g carbohydrates - These are very good fat burners, although I would advise drinking 3 bottles of wine in one sitting though.
Grapefruit (100g) - 50 calories, 10g carbohydrates - These are fantastic and you can have a great start to the day by eating these for breakfast too.
Lemon - 11 calories, 3g carbohydrates - These are one of the best fat burning foods because they contain very few calories and carbs; probably down to the fact that they contain a lot of juice.
Lime - 8 calories, 1g carbohydrates - If you think that lemons fit the dieting bill perfectly then limes are off the radar - very few calories or carbs - fat burning dynamite!
Mango - 80 calories, 20g carbohydrates - Great food to eat if your hungry as it fills you up nicely, the calorific and carbohydrate content aren't bad either.
Orange - 42 calories, 10g carbohydrates - Not the best calorie to carb ratio when compared to other lemons and limes but they are extremely versatile.
Pear - 64 calories, 16g carbohydrates - Pears a really tasty but not the best fruit for those carb watchers out there.
Pineapple (100g) - 37 calories, 8g carbohydrates - Pineapple is quite possibly my favourite fruit, very tasty, very versatile, very good fat burning food.
Raspberries (100g) - 24 calories, 5g carbohydrate - These are on of the best fruits to eat when dieting, they contain very little calories, they're a pretty good anti-oxidant and they're packed full of fiber too.
Strawberries (100g) - 28 calories, 6g carbohydrates - strawberries are fantastic, they're one of the tastiest fruits known to man and they don't contain very many calories either.
Vegetables (100g serving)Artichoke (Jerusalem) - 40 calories, 8g carbohydrates - As you can see the main nutritional values for dieting purposes are pretty good, perhaps the carb level is a bit high for you Atkins' dieters out there, but pretty good none the less.
Asparagus - 12 calories, 4g carbohydrates - Asparagus is a great fat burning food, it's calorific rating is so low that you can eat as much as you want, but eating too much may lead your body into acting anti-socially, if you known what I mean. :-)
Broccoli - 25 calories, 1g carbohydrates - Not very many people's favourite vegetable but this is one of the best pieces of food you can possibly eat when dieting; and as you can see, is perfect for you carb watchers out there. Broccoli is packed full of nutrients too, but try not to over cook it as doing so will quickly diminish its nutritional goodness.
Brussel sprouts - 25 calories, 1g carbohydrates - Again, not the most popular vegetable out there, but very good for you. This is probably my favourite vegetable. And know I'm not a mad. ;-)
Cabbage - 20 calories, 2g carbohydrate - Not a lot of people like cabbage but it's a great ant-oxidant and what's more it's very low carb and calorific levels.
Carrots - 37 calories, 8g carbohydrates - Carrots are as versatile as they come, you can bake them, boil them or just eat them raw as a snack which makes them a 'must include' food in any diet.
Cauliflower - 20g calories, 2g carbohydrates - A great fat burning food and goes well with most meals, and is pretty tasty to boot.
Celery - 12 calories, 3g carbohydrates - Quite possibly one of the best foods you can eat when you're on a diet. It's low in calories - so you can eat as much as you want - and it's actually quite filling.
Cucumber - 9 calories, 6g carbohydrates - Not the best food in terms of calorie to carb ratio, but is an excellent fat burning food due to this low calorie rating.
Leeks - 20 calories, 3g carbohydrates - Leeks have an excellent calorie to carb ratio so are great for keeping trim. Leeks are very tasty when they're put in a soup.
Mushrooms - 25 calories, 2g carbohydrates - For those of you out there who like mushrooms these are fantastic, not only can you eat them any time of the day they go with pretty much any type of meal too, and even better than that they contain hardly any carbs and have very few calories per 100g serving.
Onions - 25 calories, 4g carbohydrates - Looking at their nutritional facts, it's hard to see why onions make people cry. These are one of the best ant-oxidants known to man, but try not to eat too may of them because they tend to linger on one's breath for hours.
Peas - 60 calories, 6g carbohydrates - Peas are great, when fresh. Tinned garden peas tend to have more carbs than, say marrowfat because of the sugary juice they're kept in, therefore if you must eat tinned peas go for the latter option.
Spinach - 30 calories, 2g carbohydrate - Spinach is a great fat burning food and is great if you're on a high fiber diet or a low carb diet due to their organic make-up; no wonder Popeye loves it.
Turnip - 12 calories, 2g carbohydrates - These are brilliant, not only do they contain a lot of fiber they score very impressively in the calorie and carbohydrates stakes too.
Tomato - 20 calories, 3g carbohydrates - Along with cucumber, tomato is actually a fruit, but as many people know it as a vegetable I've included it in this section. Tomatoes are fantastic they're probably the most versatile vegetable you can get and you can enjoy them any time of the day.
Fish & Meat (per 100g)Bass - 90 calories, 1g carbohydrates - Bass is very tasty and contains very little calories when compared to other fish such as herring.
Cod - 80 calories, 1g carbohydrates - This is probably the most popular fish and is pretty low in calories. I reckon this is my favourite fish.
Crab -120 calories, 1g carbohydrates - Not very many people involve crab within their diets. This is probably down to the fact that there is a perception that it's difficult to cook. It's not as hard as you think, so give it a try.
Flounder - 70 calories, 1g carbohydrates - As you can see the flounder has a very low calorific rating so is seen as a fantastic fat burning food.
Lobster - 120 calories, 1g carbohydrates - A very tasty shellfish but is pretty expensive, but its calorific rating is low, so treat yourself every now and again.
Trout - 125 calories, 1g carbohydrates - Trout is often unfairly labeled 'the poor man's salmon', but I think trout is great, it's very tasty and packed full of omega3.
Tuna - 120 calories, 1g carbohydrates - Tuna is probably one of the best foods out there for dieting purposes, as my cat can testify. It's extremely low in fat compared to other fish and is extremely versatile.
Steak (sirloin) - 170 calories, 0g carbohydrates - Although probably not the best food you ca eat whilst on a diet because of its pretty high fat content. Steak is very tasty and has very good fat burning properties.
That concludes my top 40 list of fat burning food. The best foods are the ones with high volume and low calories, because the calories contained within these foods will be burnt off quickly leaving more opportunity for your body to burn off any excess calories while digesting this food..

I'm guessing you have tried to lose weight before, and in your attempt to do so you may have failed. The truth is that it's not your fault and you must know what the true cause of weight gain is and how you can overcome it. The truth may shock you! Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst, exposes the most well kept secret in the fat loss industry which explains why many weight loss programs simply fail.
This article will explain why you currently cannot lose fat permanently, and how to change that once and for all.
Are you trying to decide if you want to purchase the eBook called "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" by Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst? Read my review as I give you my honest opinion and professional opinion as my line of work is in this field.
There are many so called weight loss eBooks being sold all over the internet. Most of the information you can find on your own if you really searched hard. But then what would you do with all that information. I always recommend following a system; one that it simple and one that works. Losing weight can be challenging as you take on new habits and replace the old negative ones.
As a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Expert I come across many online products that claim to be the best program. As every program may have its place, let's face it there are many programs that shouldn't exist. Therefore the purpose of this review is to help you make an informed decision before you decide to buy or have considered buying the "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" eBook.
Here's My Review on the "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" eBook;
Before I get into exposing the eBook "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" by Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst, let me give you a brief history of the lady behind the "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" eBook.
Who is Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst behind the "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" eBook?
Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst is a doctor who has been working on a detox diet geared towards removing harmful parasites and plaque in the intestinal walls of your colon. She has developed a number of natural treatments that are proven to eliminate excess weight in the average person along with obese people. Below is a study she conducted with some of the results she came up with. This is accountable for the success of her program...
Top Secret Fat Loss Secret Study;
She had applied the natural treatment to a number of patients ranging from over weight to obese. Among them were also patients that had life threatening over growth of parasites and plaque in their intestinal walls. As a result of the study, most of her clients dropped 10-30 pounds and the obese group dropped 100-200 pounds of weight. She had discovered that obesity was closely related to an overgrowth of parasites and a congested colon. The result of loosing weight and detoxifying your body will surely have a positive effect on your internal body. Her discovery has allowed her to eliminate many life threatening diseases in her patients.
The conclusion of the study proves you must fix your colon system before you can experience any real permanent fat loss...And her eBook "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" shows you how!
Drug Companies Do Not Want The "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" Public
As a result of her study and new release of her eBook "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" she has been in a lot of trouble. Dr Suzanne has already received many death threats to pull her eBook of the market and out of the hands of the general public. This natural treatment she came up with has upset the entire fat loss drug industry including the many weight loss food manufactures. The reason is because they can't prescribe fat loss drugs if you don't need them. This means they will lose profits, billions of dollars in profits. Among other drugs you probably won't need are; cholesterol drugs, high blood pressure drugs, etc.
The "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret" eBook
I bought the eBook and I managed to read it on one sitting as the eBook was only 38 pages. Here's the thing; from my experience short eBooks can be very effective especially if the content covers a lot of ground. You can read them quickly and then follow up with action. If the material becomes to long and it takes you a few weeks to read it chances are you may never get around to applying it.
Chapter Overview to the "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret; What Is The Top Secret Fat Loss Secret?
Chapter 1
"How to Choose the Best Weight Loss Program"
This is a pretty general part of the eBook which covers most of the basics to any good weight loss program. She states that you need to follow the advice of people who have been down the path you want to achieve, which is why I recommend listening to her as she knows what she is talking about.
Chapter 2
"Lose Weight Fast Naturally With These 8 Simple Tips"
These are some basic principles you can implement into your life so you don't fall into the trap of gaining excess weight again.
Chapter 3
"The Metabolic Type Plan: What is the right type of diet for you?"
This section helps you identify which diet best suits you. It helps you determine the balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates you need which are optimal for your metabolism. I did mention you were able to eat carbohydrates, as many think they need to avoid them to lose weight. This is the biggest misconception in the entire weight loss industry.
Chapter 4
"Changing Your Eating Habits"
This is an obvious chapter for some but not so obvious for others. We know that most of your eating habits landed you that extra weight on your body. So its undoing them that will help you set the right eating habits in motion. The great thing about this section is that it helps you make gradual changes or drastic changes. It all depends on the pace you want to go on. I think this is what really helps people commit to the regimen. Another great part of this chapter is how to identify your emotional triggers that might cause you to eat garbage foods.
So now that we have almost covered all the chapters you may be asking your self where is this so called "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret"? Well the secret lies in the last chapter, Chapter 5; Detoxifying your Colon and Liver.
Chapter 5
"Detoxifying your Colon and Liver"
In this chapter she discusses how to remove the parasites naturally and safely using plant extracts and herbs combined to clean out the colon. Remember these parasites are what make us fat.These creatures are also what are keeping you from losing that unwanted weight!! She states: "The fat that your body has accumulated or stored is a way to protect your vital organs from more toxicity building up." She continues: "A sure sign that you have toxic buildup is fat around the midsection, buttocks and/or thighs" No matter how much exercise you do, you're still going to have a pot belly, unless you use the information provided in this eBook to rid your self of parasites and colon plaque.
Chapter 6
"How to Maintain Results"
This is the section on maintaining your results, so you don't go back to your old negative eating habits which got you fat and sick in the first place. This section covers a variety of dietary and nutritional considerations and there are very important tips here to continue being in great health.
So there you have it, I hope my review has helped you make a much better informed decision. In all I think it's worth the asking price of the program. As it will surely help you lose weight and regain health.
Why piece random information from the internet in attempts to lose weight when you have all they information in one place and in a plan of action. Overall I recommend the "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret Exposed" eBook.
