Foods That Help Burn Your Stomach Fat Fast!

By Eric T. Wallace


To tone your stomach and shed fat, it's certainly important to exercise consistently. However, what you eat is at least as important. They say that a great midsection is built in the kitchen, so this aspect of toning your stomach must not be neglected. The good news is that there are foods that are excellent for losing fat - foods that will help tone you up very quickly.

Well, what are they?

1. High protein foods. More calories are burned by breaking down protein than for carbohydrates or fat. Of course, burning calories is a good thing, and the more you burn, the leaner you become. The protein keeps the metabolism active, which enables efficient fat burning throughout the day.

2. Low fat dairy items. Studies conclusively show that those who regularly consumed skim milk or low fat yogurt lost 65 percent more fat than those who did not! Furthermore, the added calcium helps build strong bones, so it is certainly wise to get in the habit of consuming dairy products.

3. Foods high in Vitamin C content. This consists of fruits (which are perfect breakfast alternatives to bagels or cereal). Fruits are great because the sugars are digested and burned quickly to boost your metabolism. Careful with fruit juice though - they include refined sugar, which is not good for metabolic purposes.

4. Whole grains. It's a myth that all carbohydrates are bad for you - they're essential for energy.
It is the processed carbs that can be detrimental to your health because of the artificial processes and additives that strip away the necessary nutrients and dietary fiber. This leaves the carbohydrate items with high starch contents, which can help build fat. These processed carbs include white bread, pasta, and white rice. Avoid these foods, and substitute them with brown rice and whole grain bread. The dietary fiber is helpful for breaking down food, which further speeds up your metabolism.

These are only a few of the food types that are essential for fat burning and toning your stomach. There are certainly many more, and a more specific listing of fat burning foods are listed here
