FEED YOUR BODY TO BURN

 

MORE FAT

 

 

 

 

Did you know that your body burns calories even when you are at rest?? And did you know that you burn even more calories (energy) when your food is being digested during a process called thermogenesis???  Well, what if I told you that certain foods require more energy to burn than others, which equates to more calories burned!!! Wouldn't you want to eat more of these foods!! Burn baby burn!!!

 

Foods with a Low-Glycemic Index, such as lean proteins and fiber rich carbohydrates are at the top of my must have foods to help "feed the fire" because they force our bodies to use more fat for fuel.  Although most of us believe that only exercise alone can burn fat, the good news is that we can help this process also by putting the right foods in our bodies! Also, as simple as this sounds and as easy as it may be, drinking water can also help the cause.  Studies have shown that by simply drinking 2 cups of water (480cc), it can increase your energy expenditure by as much as 24% for 1 hour after drinking it! So ditch the juice, soda or whatever else you are drinking if you really want to "feed the fire"!!

 

The following is a list of my recommended "must eats" to help your inner body furnace burn best!! Make sure to put them on your list and place it in your GalsShopper!!!

 

• Salmon, lean beef, egg whites, turkey breast, chicken, and pork
• broccoli, apples, kale, salad greens, spinach, tomatoes, kiwi, berries (all of them!!), asparagus, peaches, peppers
