energy in their bodies in the form of fat to burn during periods "hen there "as little or

protein! fat and arbohydrates your body needs to thrive.

E#tremely lo"+alorie diets may help you shed pounds $uikly! but they*ll lead to failure in

the long run.

That*s beause humans are genetially proteted against starvation. 3uring food

shortages! our bodies slo" do"n our metabolisms and burn less energy so "e an stay

alive.

 A part of our brain alled the hypothalamus keeps us on an even "eight keep by reating a

4set point.5 That*s the "eight "here "e feel omfortable. The hypothalamus determines

this point based on the level of onsumption it*s used to. )t seeks to keep our "eight

onstant! even if that point is over "hat it should be.

hen "e drastially ut bak our food intake! the brain thinks the body is starving! and in

an effort to preserve life! it slo"s the metabolism. 6oon the pounds stop oming off.

/onse$uently! "e gro" hungry and unomfortable and then eat more. And then the diet

fails.

o" an you ompensate for this metaboli slo"+do"n7 The ans"er is that you have to

hange the nutritional omposition of the foods you eat. You "ill have to ut do"n on total

alories - that*s absolutely basi to "eight loss. ore important! ho"ever! is reduing the

perentage of total alories you are getting from fat.

That*s ho" you*ll avoid starvation pani in your system. At the same time! you redue the

Fat Burning Foods

Eah one of the follo"ing foods is linially proven to promote "eight loss. These foods go

a step beyond simply adding no fat to your system - they possess speial properties that

add 8ip to your system and help your body melt a"ay unhealthy pounds. These inredible

foods an suppress your appetite for 9unk food and keep your body running smoothly "ith

lean fuel and effiient energy.

You an inlude these foods in any sensible "eight+loss plan. They give your body the

e#tra metaboli kik that it needs to shave off "eight $uikly.

 A sensible "eight loss plan alls for no fe"er that 1!200 alories per day. &ut 3r. /harles

lein reommends onsuming more that that! if you an believe it - 1!:00 to 1!;00 alories

per day. e says you "ill still lose "eight $uite effetively at that intake level "ithout

endangering your health.

unger is satisfied more ompletely by filling the stomah. ,une for oune! the foods

listed belo" aomplish that better than any others. At the same time! they*re rih in

nutrients and possess speial fat+melting talents.

Apples

These marvels of nature deserve their reputation for keeping the dotor a"ay "hen you

Page 9: Eat Yourself Thin

8/11/2019 Eat Yourself Thin

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/eat-yourself-thin 9/25

eat one a day. And no"! it seems! they an help you melt the fat a"ay! too.

%irst of all! they elevate your blood gluose <sugar= levels in a safe! gentle manner and

keep them up longer than most foods. The pratial effet of this is to leave you feeling

satisfied longer! say researhers.

6eondly! they*re one of the rihest soures of soluble fiber in the supermarket. This type

of fiber prevents hunger pangs by guarding against dangerous s"ings or drops in your

blood sugar level! says 3r. >ames Anderson of the ?niversity of entuky*s 6hool of

ediine.

 An average si8e apple provides only ;1 alories and has no sodium! saturated fat or

holesterol. You*ll also get the added health benefits of lo"ering the level of holesterol

already in your blood as "ell as lo"ering your blood pressure.

Whole Grain Bread

You needn*t dread bread. )t*s the butter! margarine or ream heese you put on it that*s

fattening! not the bread itself. e*ll say this as often as needed - fat is fattening. )f you

don*t believe that! ponder this - a gram of arbohydrate has four alories! a gram of

protein four! and a gram of fat nine. 6o "hih of these is really fattening7

&read! a natural soure of fiber and omple# arbohydrates! is okay for dieting. Nor"egian

sientist 3r. &9arne >aobsen found that people "ho eat less than t"o slies of bread daily

"eigh about 11 pounds more that those "ho eat a lot of bread.

6tudies at ihigan 6tate ?niversity sho" some breads atually redue the appetite.

@esearhers ompared "hite bread to dark! high+fiber bread and found that students "ho

ate 12 slies a day of the dark! high+fiber bread felt less hunger on a daily basis and lost

five pounds in t"o months. ,thers "ho ate "hite bread "ere hungrier! ate more fattening

foods and lost no "eight during this time.

6o the key is eating dark! rih! high+fiber breads suh as pumpernikel! "hole "heat!

mi#ed grain! oatmeal and others. The average slie of "hole grain bread ontains only 0

to B0 alories! is rih in omple# arbohydrates - the best! steadiest fuel you an give your

body - and delivers surprising amount of protein.

Coffee

Easy does it is the pass"ord here. e*ve all heard about potential dangers of affeine -

inluding an#iety and insomnia - so moderation is the key.

The affeine in offee an speed up the metabolism. )n nutritional irles! it*s kno"n as a

metaboli enhaner! aording to 3r. >udith 6tern of the ?niversity of /alifornia at 3avis.

This makes sense! sine affeine is a stimulant. 6tudies sho" it an help you burn more

alories than normal! perhaps up to 10 perent more. %or safety*s sake! it*s best to limit

your intake to a single up in the morning and one in the afternoon. Add only skim milk to

tit and try doing "ithout sugar - many people learn to love it that "ay.

Grapefruit

There*s good reason for this traditional diet food to be a regular part of your diet. )t helps

dissolve fat and holesterol! aording to 3r. >ames /erd of the ?niversity of %lorida. An

average si8ed grapefruit has BC alories! delivers a "hopping 1: grams of petin <the

is free of fat and sodium.

)t*s rih in natural galaturoni aid! "hih adds to its poteny as a fat and holesterol

fighter. The additional benefit here is assistane in the battle against atheroslerosis

<hardening of the arteries= and the development of heart disease. Try sprinkling it "ith

innamon rather than sugar to take a"ay some of the tart taste.

Mustard

Try the hot! spiy kind you find in Asian import stores! speialty shops and e#oti

groeries. 3r. >aya enry of ,#ford (olytehni )nstitute in England! found that the amount

of hot mustard normally alled for in e#ian! )ndian and Asian reipes! about one

teaspoon! temporarily speeds up the metabolism! 9ust as affeine and the drug ephedrine

do.

4&ut mustard is natural and totally safe!5 enry says. 4)t an be used every day! and it

Peppers

ot! spiy hili peppers fall into the same ategory as hot mustard! enry says. e studied

them under the same irumstanes as the mustard and they "orked 9ust as "ell. A mere

three grams of hili peppers "ere added to a meal onsisting of B total alories. The

peppers* metabolism+raising properties "orked like a harm! leading to "hat enry alls a

Berries

This is the perfet "eight+loss food. &erries have natural frutose sugar that satisfies your

longing for s"eets and enough fiber so you absorb fe"er alories that you eat. &ritish
