4 Foods that Attack Fat!

4 Foods that Attack Fat!

Some people believe that there is no such thing as fat burning foods but some studies support that some foods may actually prevent body fat storage and fat absorption. Check out these 4 foods that just may help you lose weight fast.

Oranges. If you want to prevent extra pounds from creeping on, then start eating Oranges. Oranges contain fat-torching compounds called flavones. In a study conducted by the American journal Of Clinical Nutrition, women that consumed flavones had a significantly lower increase in body fat over a 14 year period. For a larger amount of flavones intake, drink fresh squeezed orange juice that doesn't have the pulp filtered out. Of course, if you don't have the time to made homemade OJ, just snack on an orange!

Soybeans. Soybeans are rich in choline which is a compound found to block fat absorption and is also known to break down fatty deposits. Try taking edamame in little snack bags to work or toss them in your salad.

Sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are not only deliciously sweet but they are also a rich source of fiber which means they help prevent insulin spiking which normally occurs after eating foods that have natural or added sugar to them. Insulin is the signal that tells your body to either burn fat or store fat. Swap in sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. Or make sweet potato fries instead of regular french fries. To make sweet potato fries, just wash your sweet potato skin thoroughly. Cut into long strips with the skin still attached. Spread them flat over a large cookie sheet and spritz with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over them and back them in the oven until the edges turn golden.

Swiss cheese. According to Michel B. Zemel, Ph.D, the director of the nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee, "Calcium-rich foods reduce fat-producing enzymes and increase fat breakdown". Swiss cheese has a higher amount of calcium over other cheeses. Start swapping Swiss cheese on your hamburgers or sandwiches instead of cheddar.
