Learning how to tone your stomach and lose tummy fat is usually the first thing we all want to start targeting when losing weight. It doesn’t matter if you want to know how to lose 10 pounds or how to lose 20 pounds the weight loss methods used to lose weight are usually all the same.
Fat burning is all about eating healthier foods and tricking your body into burning more fat than it stores, and keeping it off. The way to do this is by simply changing your eating habits and not starving yourself. Many people think that by eating less they will burn more body fat but in reality, this makes your body store more fat when you do eat.
Now I’m not going to tell you that you need to go to the gym and do a three hour cardio workout and do a hundred crunches to start toning your stomach and lose your tummy fat, because you probably hear this all the time.
Not everyone has the time to go to the gym so I want to tell you how to lose weight without exercise by eating the right foods that actually make your body burn off more fat naturally.
Rob Poulos, the author of Fat Burning Furnace, said it best in his weight loss video on his website;
The real secret to losing weight is to first realize that it’s NOT weight that you have to lose, it’s fat and eating low fat foods will not always work to your advantage. Eating the right fatty foods will have you losing more body fat faster.
Five Foods That Help You Lose Weight Fast
Here are five foods that you should include in your daily diet to start toning your stomach.
Whole eggs, including the yolk (not just egg whites) are one of the highest quality sources of protien and the egg yolks are the healthiest part of the egg as they contain more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, thiamin, B6, folate, and B12, and panthothenic acid of the egg.
Egg yolks also contain all of the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as all the essential fatty acids (EFAs).
With all of this extra nutritional value as well as healthy fats that you get from the egg yolks helps to control your appetite, balance fat burning hormones, and helps you to burn more body fat. So don’t skip the yolks.
Grass fed beef or bison.
Typical beef or bison that you see at the grocery store is raised on grains such as soy and corn which aren’t the natural diet of cattle or bison, so therefore it changes the chemical balance of fats and other nutrients. These animals are naturally meant to eat grass and forage, so the practice of feeding cattle grains causes digestive system problems in the cattle (one of the main reasons for e-coli), and makes the cattle sick, which most times requires the use of antibiotics.
Grass fed meats contain much higher levels of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and lower levels of inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, 3 times the Vitamin E and also contain a special healthy fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in much higher levels than grain-fed meat. This has been scientifcally proven to burn more body fat and help build more lean muscle.
Avocados are typically thought of as a “fatty food”, but these are all healthy fats. Not only is this fruit super-high in healthy monounsaturated fat, but also chock full of vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients, and antioxidants. They are also a great source of fiber.
The quality of healthy fats and other nutrition you get from avocados helps your body to maintain proper levels of hormones that help with fat loss and muscle building. Also, since avocados are an extremely satiating food, so eating them helps to reduce your appetite for hours.
Get a little nuts with your diet.
Sorry but I could not resist saying that. All kidding aside, yes this is yet another “fatty food” that people tend to stay away from but in reality, nuts actually help you burn fat.
Although nuts are generally between 75-90% fat in terms of a ratio of fat calories to total calories, but these are all healthy fats. They also provide high levels of nutrition such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Nuts are also a good source of fiber and protein, which of course, you know helps to control blood sugar and can aid fat loss by maintaining good levels of fat burning hormones in your body as well as helping to control your appetite and cravings so that you essentially eat less calories overall, even though you’re consuming a high-fat food.
Berries are the powerhouse of nutrition, they’re packed with vitamins and minerals, and also some of the best sources of antioxidants of any food in existence.
Berries also pack a healthy dose of fiber, which slows your carbohydrate absorption and digestion rate. This also controls your blood sugar levels to help prevent insulin spikes (which can stimulate fat gain).
Get creative and mix up your berry intake by using the basics — blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, but also get adventurous and give a more “exotic” berry a try, such as Goji berries (which is one of the most nutrient-dense berries on the planet).
Knowing how to lose 10 pounds or how to lose 20 pounds simply starts with your diet. If you include these five healthy fat loss foods I have mentioned, you will reach your weight loss goals in no time.
