Fat Burning Foods

I lost 71lbs so far. (55 the first three months and only 16 the last 2 and a half. It’s going slower and slower and even sometimes increases. Now, I know what everybody says; increase exercise, decrease food. Well, I keep at 1200-1250 a day (Sometimes is lower, but I try to stay away from starvation mode) and burn 750-1500 calories a day by using the rowing machine (on the tightest setting) step master, treadmill, stationary bike, some weights, I use my elliptical at home, I swim, run, walk for hours…. and the list goes on. And most of my stiff is cardio oriented so don’t say I gained muscle. (I do do some muscle oriented stuff though because having muscle increases your at rest metabolic state for burning fat..) What do I do???? I never ever have anything other than unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats such as chicken breast…Salads have lemon juice for dressing with low fat cheeses (ex. goat cheese,low fat feta or laughing cow, etc) and include a form of protein, such as (carefully weighed) nuts and chicken. I never drink anything other than water. And don’t suggest I am not calculating my calories properly.. I am anal about it. Does any body have any suggestions? I’m even willing to take unorthodox suggestions such as several day fasting diet to speed up weight loss again.. I am desperate. People always assume you are doing something wrong, but what happens when you are doing everything right and it isn’t working? By rights, I should be losing 4-5 lbs a week or more and I’m just not. Sonetimes I lose nothing, sometimes I lose 2… sometimes 1… My BMI is at 30.5 ish.. I am getting so close (started at 40.9) to being not obese or overweight at all anymore. I just need the last push.
Oh, and by the way, I have 5-6 small meals a day with 8 cups of water and don’t eat a large dinner and have it before 6 or 7.
Jess: I already said I drinknothing but water.. soda isn’t even in my vocabulary.. and walking wasn’t doing it at all for me anymore so I had to go to the gyrm. I also always eat regular meals.

THIS IS WHAT I MEAN! People always ASSUME you are doing something stupid wrong. I GUARANTEE YOU that it is not something simple that is messed up here. I don;t eat any junk food or processed food or drink juice, soda or coffee. I just don’t!
ERIC: I am trying what you are saying and it has helped a little, but it doesn’t seem to help for long and the mentality of taking a day off really messes with my head. I find it very difficult. I try to vary levels but I find it hard to go above 1200. I don’t really know how to increase it that much. Ok, obviously the only one who read what I said is Eric.. so he gets the points.

The rest of you… what the hell? I don’t need to know how to cut calories or turn off sweet cravings… I have too low calories and never have sweets. Read the damn question before you answer.

Well, think about this. Your body always tries to reach homestasis. No matter what you do, over time your body adapts. So although you’ve made some changes in what you do, mostly you’ve still been doing more of the same. So what i’d suggest is that you get into routines with more variation. Take days off. Do more strength training and less cardio. Vary your diet, having some days be higher calorie days and some be lower. Do the same with carbohydrates particularly, have the amount vary significantly day to day. Have at least 1 cheat meal a week where you pay no attention whatsoever to the caloric content, and just eat and enjoy yourself.

Worry more about the mirror than the scale or a BMI calculator. In the picture I use here on yahoo answers, my BMI calculates to about 30…..

1- Is it okay if I consume about 500 cals/day burning 1000 cals/day?
#2- Aren’t calories just made up, approximate numbers?
#3-If I eat starch, won’t it all turn to fat immediately if I let it digest?
#4-How much time do I have before the food I eat turns to fat?
#5-If I eat something healthy 100 calories what’s the difference then eating a 100 calorie doughnut? They’re both 100 calories, will I gain more weight eating a 100 calorie doughnut than eating a 100 calorie yogurt?
#6-Is it ok to have lets say a fruit bar a little on the high side of sugar?
#7-Is fat (the unsaturated/trans) good for you?
#8-If I eat 500 calories, go to the gym burn 1000 calories, go home eat a 500 calorie bowl of cereal will that turn to fat?
#9-Are there some foods that are more guaranteed to be stored as fat (that are good for you)?
#10-Can i have a list of foods good for eating that won’t be stored as fat? (I go to the gym on a regular basis, don’t eat un-healthy what so ever.) Sorry for so many questions! Just answer what you can that’ll be fine. Please number the answers
.1- Is it okay if I consume about 500 cals/day burning 1000 cals/day?…You should NEVER consume lower than 1200 cals/day without a doctor’s supervision. What you suggest is literally starvation.

#2- Aren’t calories just made up, approximate numbers?…Depends on where you get your information.

#3-If I eat starch, won’t it all turn to fat immediately if I let it digest?…I’ve never read up on starch in particular, but my guess is no.

#4-How much time do I have before the food I eat turns to fat?….Depends on how much you eat. What is stored as fat is the excess that your body has no use for at the time it’s processed.

#5-If I eat something healthy 100 calories what’s the difference then eating a 100 calorie doughnut?They’re both 100 calories, will I gain more weight eating a 100 calorie doughnut than eating a 100 calorie yogurt?…your body will get more useful nutrition from the healthy item than the unhealthy but just based against your total calorie intake for the day, there is no significant difference. A calorie is a calorie…but your body does not use all foods you consume in the same way.

#6-Is it ok to have lets say a fruit bar a little on the high side of sugar?…If you want. Depends on what you are trying to accomplish and what your overall health is. A diabetic, for example, wouldn’t want to do that.

#7-Is fat (the unsaturated/trans) good for you?…there are healthy fats (such as found in nuts). Shoot for mono and polyunsaturated fats (not trans fats or saturated fats).

#8-If I eat 500 calories, go to the gym burn 1000 calories, go home eat a 500 calorie bowl of cereal will that turn to fat?…Even eating 1000 cals a day you are not consuming enough calories, but it will slow your metabolism and make weight gain easier because your body is starving and burning muscle tissue for fuel. It will burn fat last because it can maintain the fat easier.

#9-Are there some foods that are more guaranteed to be stored as fat (that are good for you)?…you need to stop obsessing about fat and start eating healthy and exercising regularly. Lean protein, fruits and veggies, complex (brown) carbs, healthy fats, and lots of water.

#10-Can i have a list of foods good for eating that won’t be stored as fat?…see #9 for a list of healthy foods. You can eat lettuce and it be stored as fat if you ate too much (it would just be difficult to do so). What you consume is stored as fat when you consume more than you burn in a day…whether it’s carrorts or candy bars.

Get your calorie intake up over 1200. If you are working out daily, it should be closer to 2000 (definitely no lower than 1500) or you WILL learn what it means to slow your metabolism, make weight gain easy, and possibly have to fight your weight the rest of your life. I’m 45 and stupidly starved myself as a teen also…it’s not worth it. I now have to keep my calories low all the time, and execise twice as hard as most people, just to maintain my weight….because I wrecked my metabolism over the years trying stupid low cal diets.

I started working out 9 days ago. so far my work out consist of 300 sit ups (on my slant-board), 10 mins using my iso7x bar, 5 mins using my abb roller, and 5 mins using an arm trainer(it builds the forearm). i need a list of healthy foods that either burn fat or build muscle.

Josh,
Foods don’t do those things.
Sustained activity like your workout burn fat when all your other energy stores are gone. Eating a healthy balance diet with protein, not too many carbs, and lots of fresh fruit and veg is the perfect fuel to help the body build muscle in response to your workouts.
To learn all about this nutrition stuff, find a copy of the "Nutrition Almanac". It is a great book.
Learn new workouts and different routines at the link below. They also have this really cool section called Eat this-Not that that guides you through your fast food or eating out choises.

What list of foods contains high carbohydrates?
What list of foods contains low carbohydrates?
How do I get in my fat-burning zone?

starchy and sugary foods such as pasta, bread, rice, potatoes, crisps, sweets.
carbohydrates are engery and if they are not burnt they will turn into fat in the body.
low carb foods are foods high in protein such as fish, meat, eggs, vegtables and fruit.
you will need to exercise untill you start sweating such as aerobics, running etc.

1)High fat diet, limiting simple carbs(sugar) and eating a moderate amount of complex carbs(starch and fiber)= better weight loss cuz it doesnt spike your insulin levels up, like simple carbs do, and thats promotes weight loss more efficiently and your body produces more pesterone(or however you spell it) from the fat which is very important for your body

2)what are pesterones?

3)And i know all about good and bad fats so i dont need any info. about that but does your body react to good fats, the same as bad fats? even though the good fats give you more health benefits, your body burns threw it the same right?

4)High carb(simple, not complex) and lower fat diet= high spike in insulin levels(from sugar carbs) which stores more fat and makes it harder for weight loss and your body doesnt produce as much pesterone which is bad

5)COMPLEX CARBS(fiber, starch): fresh veggies, fruits, peanuts, honey, anything naturally grown with the ingredients only saying "Honey" Or "Peanuts" if its in a package such as those 2 i just listed. Your body takes a while to break these things down, which makes you fuller faster and longer. Most likely will have more nutritional value.
SIMPLE CARBS(sugar): anything with refined sugars such as cereal, pastries, etc., anything not natural. Your body breaks them down easily, which makes you not very full and makes you crave more and more. Most likely to have no nutritional value.

6)GOOD FATS(monounsaturated/monosaturated)- chicken, pork chops, steak, peanuts, cheese, good oils that i think are vegetable and canola oils, milk, etc. but i look on the nutritonal labels anyways so i will find out whenever i use the food
BAD FATS(trans, saturated, unsaturated)- bad oils, pasteries, cake, sweets, etc. MOST of the time.

So basically what i got from this was that you need to eat high fat diets(mostly good fats) with a limited amount of simple carbs(sugar) and a moderate amount of complex carbs(fiber, starch).

1-2.) no clue what a pesterone could be (source?) I searched the web without luck. Could that be hormones? Your body doesn’t produce hormones from fat but hormones need fat to function correctly. Fat is required to make the vitamins & minerals in foods bioavailable so that they can be incorporated into the body structure.

3) I don’t think you understand about good & bad fats due to question 6 & it’s a complex subject, which few really understand. Bad fats are transfats. Transfats are man made chemically altered oil (hydrogenated oils) which may have started off as a good fat, til it was processed.

4) yes - high simple carb diet is bad with or without fats

5) honey is not a complex carb, it is a simple carb but raw honey is a more natural product

Simple carbs - It gets real confusing because there is the clinical definition of simple carbs as having 1-2 sugars & complex carbs having 3 or more but using that definition could make vegetables a simple carb.

Simple carbohydrates are broken down quickly by the body to be used as energy
In the context of a low carb diet, we avoid carbohydrates which raise blood glucose levels rapidly. In that context, a raw potato would be a complex carb but you bake it and you change the molecular structure to a starch which is broken down quickly by the body.

Using that context, I consider these items as simple carbs - sugar, white flour, white bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, white rice.

6) Most foods have a combination of fats & your listing of foods with good fats are a combination
I don’t think there is such thing as monosaturated only monounsaturated found in nuts, olives, avocados
There is a controversy about canola oil - I wouldn’t highly recommend it, it’s fatty acids look good but won’t get into that here.
Saturated fats are not bad - there once was a myth (probably created by the transfat sellers) but that has been all but dismissed by current research - Half the fat in Breast milk is saturated - nature can’t be wrong. Coconut oil has the same health properties as breast milk and it’s mostly saturated fats.

Many foods are not "bad" but the processing changes the food. It is best to stick with whole foods that have minimal changes. Unrefined salt is essential for good health, refined salt is nearly toxic. Meats & eggs & dairy from animals that eat grass & can free range are far healthier than animals fed carbs. The carbs aren’t healthy for them either and it dramatically changes the fat composition. Many grains are perfectly healthy but food processors extract the starch which doesn’t include the vitamins & minerals in the end product. They "enrich" their products by adding synthetic vitamins because their product has little nutritional value.

I greatly admire your desire to understand how nutrition impacts your health. I wish I had BEFORE I lost my health.

When energy is used, carbs are burned. if there aren’t many carbs, lipids (fats) are burned, and if there isn’t much fat muscle burns off (which is bad).
So, with this knowledge, i’ve decided to give it a go.

Over the summer, i lost 10 pounds with diet and excersize, and everyone saw the difference. But as school came around, i litterally had NO excersize, except almost every other tuesday for like an hour playing tennis, but eventually i quit. Because of school, stress, depression.. etc, i did NOT excersize, and my eating habits are TERRIBLE. That summer, i PUSHED myself to the ground, doing almost thirty laps of swimming every day, except friday, where i would play tennis. My diet was great too.

Yesterday, i checked my weight in a long time (guilty), and i did not gain any weight, which is surprisingly good, but i NEED to start watching, before it’s too late, or else all my hard work will go to waste.

I want to try a low carb diet, so that since i barely have time to excersize (i’ll work on that somehow), the activities i do will burn through to the fat.

So here’s what i want to know:
1 IS THERE MUCH SUCCESS WITH THIS DIET??
2 I WOULD APPRECIATE A LIST OF FOODS THAT ARE DECENT FOR THIS (IM A VEGETARIAN)
3 WHAT OTHER THINGS (FOR EXAMPLE, EXCERSIZING) HELP WEIGHT LOSS IN THIS DIET?? (THIGH FAT ESPECIALLY)
4 AND IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER MAIN POINTS THAT MAY HELP FOR GOING ON A LOW CARB DIET, PLZ FEEL FREE TO ADVISE.

Thank You!!

I’m not trying to convert anyone to being a meat eater only health conscious. Starches, sugar, fruit do not promote weight loss, they do promote weight gain. As a vegetarian you need to be vigilant to meeting your protein requirements. I have major concerns about soy products effecting thyroid health. If you could add eggs to your diet, that would solve a multitude of problems.

I would suggest you convert your diet to more of a fat based (mainly coconut oil & olive oil) diet with much more low glycemic vegetables. Stay vigilant about meeting your protein requirements but try to keep your carbs <9grams per hour. I would suggest not eating many starches that don’t significantly contribute to protein requirements. Significantly increase your consumption of nuts (peanuts are a legume not a nut - peanuts are fine, just realize the difference), flax seeds, chia seeds, spirulina.

Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin which can store the calories eaten into fat. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.

You have chosen a way of eating that needs you to know a great deal about nutrition and how the body processes foods. I wouldn’t try to dissuade you but encourage you to educate yourself fully. Weight gain is a symptom of a problem, not the problem.

I would highly suggest chia seeds - 3.5 oz is nearly 500 calories, half calories from fat (high in Omega3 fatty acids) & 16grams of COMPLETE protein for 6grams carbs & 63% DV Calcium - 95% Phosphorus - 23% Zinc - 9% Copper - 108% Manganese.

Spirulina is also a good complete vegetarian protein.

During the first 2 weeks, you can have several cups of salads. Jicama, cucumber, celery & radish marinated in sesame oil & hot pepper flakes with rice wine vinegar & artificial sweetener. Make a stir fry with Bok Choy, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, celery, mushrooms, shirataki noodles.

Ground flax seed (2-3 Tbsp) 1/4 cup of water, cinnamon, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle and nuke for 1.5 min. for hot cereal or 2 min. for more of a muffin type thing. Great low carb, high fiber treat.

After the 2 week induction, you add 5 grams of carbs per day every week and add a much greater variety of non starchy vegetables. Change your mindset - eat what you like to eat, just adapt it to low carb -
replace bread with lettuce
replace pasta with cabbage
replace rice with cauliflower
replace potatoes with brocolli
I eat all my favorite Chinese, Italian, even Mexican foods with low carb foods. Cabbage makes an excellent pasta substitute (for me) Make a lasagna with blanched cabbage leaves & thinly fried eggplant instead of noodles. Sugar free pasta sauce over fried cabbage. I add greens & flaxseed or chia seed for body. Alfredo sauce is also low carb.

I don’t cook often but I have gone into the forums for recipes (especially when I first started low carb) I was shocked that fried "rice" made with grated cauliflower tasted just like it’s name sake. Shirataki noodles are traditional in Japanese sukiyaki and low carb. I’ve heard faux mashed "taters" made with cauliflower & cream cheese can fool non low carbers. "potato" salad using cauliflower instead.

Chia seeds sound so expensive but 1# will make 10# food

Faux tapioca - 1 cup of water & add cup of chia seeds, after they have started to absorb the water, add in 4 cans of coconut milk & artificial sweetener if you like and mix it all in. Can be eaten after an hour but will be better tomorrow. Cream a pkg. of cream cheese into a can of pumpkin and add to the faux tapioca for an even more nutritious pumpkin pie pudding.

(berries are lowest glycemic) Cheesecake - strawberry ice cream (frozen berries, cream, a stick blender) avocado/mayo/cayenne dip - olives

Pumpkin soup
* 1/2 cup onion, minced
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
* 1-2 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
* 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
* 4 cups chicken broth
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup water

Directions
1.add onion, garlic, Italian seasoning and mushrooms and sauté until done.
2. Add pumpkin to this mixture and mix well.
3.Then stir in the broth and mix well.
4. Simmer 20-30 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and water and simmer on low another 10-15 minute Taste and add salt& pepper as needed.
