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

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

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

for every B00 onsumed! 3r. enry says.
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
