Top Five Fat Burning Foods

Every time they think about beginning a diet, they usually feel mournful about all those favourite foods that they must sacrifice. Yet, only a few ladies know that foods such as pasta or chocolate can aid your weight loss, keep you full for longer and help you receive a flat stomach.

Here are 5 surprising fat-burning foods that speed up metabolism:

Pasta: Cooked pasta and rice contains 70% water and foods that contain lots of water can keep you satiated for longer, as shown by a research conducted by the British Dietary Foundation. Moreover, the carbohydrate-containing pasta increases the secretion of serotonin in the brain. You can eat half a cup of pasta every day, but prefer wholemeal pasta, which is rich in fiber.

Potatoes: Potatoes can burn fat. This vegetable is the most misunderstood food, and this is because they usually either fry or dip it in to sauce and cream. But, eating baked or boiled potatoes (without butter) can help you in the battle against weight loss.

Peanut Butter: Rich in healthy fats, peanut butter helps you receive a flat stomach. Research has shown that a diet rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (present in abundance in peanut butter and other nuts), prevents the buildup of weight around the waist, helps you burn more calories and promotes weight loss. Indeed, a recent survey by the "Harvard School of Public Health" showed that ladies, who ate a serving of nuts or a tablespoon of peanut butter one time a week, gained less weight than those who did not show a preference for these foods. A snack with peanut butter (one teaspoon) keeps you full for at least 2 hours, compared to a snack rich in carbohydrates, which cuts your appetite for 30 minutes.

Cheese: Cheese is rich in calcium and helps you burn calories. Of coursework, I am not speaking about cheeses such as cheddar that are loaded with fat, but low fat cheeses. The calcium contained in cheese improves the body's ability to burn calories and fat, while lack of calcium causes the release of the hormone calcitriol, which causes further storage of fat in the body.Moreover, researchers from the University of Tennessee, claim that a diet that contains 300-400 grams of calcium every day can make you lose more weight, compared to a diet that contains the same calories, but is poor in calcium.

Chocolate: At least 97% of ladies experience cravings for sweets and chocolate. Nutritionists around the globe have now agreed that it is better to satisfy the craving for something sweet than oppress it. A survey in Britain suggests that ladies, who oppress their need for chocolate, finish up consuming 2 to 3 times more calories in various other snacks. However, it would be better to eat dark chocolate, because the darker the chocolate the more useful it is for weight loss
