What are some intense fat - burning foods?
a couple of the most important aspects of nutrition that help to get you lean for life…
1. Get enough quality protein in the daily diet - not only does it have a higher thermic effect than carbs and fat (so you burn more calories digesting it), but it also creates satiety so your hunger is satisfied longer. Plus it’s a building block for maintaining and building lean muscle… And remember that the amount of lean muscle you carry is one of the main factors for controlling your metabolism.
2. Think fiber! When it comes to carbs, make sure that almost all of your carbohydrate intake is from higher fiber sources like vegetables, fruits, and high fiber unrefined grains. Try to avoid refined sugars and refined grains as that is one of the main reasons so many people struggle with body fat. I personally don’t eat many grains as I prefer to get most of my carbs from veggies and fruits, but I do use sprouted grain breads fairly regularly too.
I generally recommend looking for carbohydrate sources that have at least 2-3 grams of fiber per each 10 grams of total carbs. Remember that fiber helps fill you up and also slows down the glycemic response of the foods you eat, all beneficial for getting lean.
3. Don’t be afraid to eat fat! Many people try to go way too low on their fat intake and this can negatively affect hormone levels in your body as well as causing more cravings. Try to eat enough healthy fats daily.
Good sources are all nuts and seeds, nut butters, avocados, olive oil, organic meats and eggs, coconuts and virgin coconut oil.
4. Avoid the two worst things in our food supply at ALL COSTS:
•artificial trans fats from margarines, shortening, and hydrogenated oils that are in most processed foods and deep fried foods
•high fructose corn syrup, which is in almost all sweetened products on the market
If you avoid processed foods, it becomes easy to avoid these two worst offenders in our food supply.
Once you get a handle on these 4 main points of your diet detailed above, the rest starts to take care of itself as you gain control over your appetite, blood sugar levels, hormone levels, etc. It all falls into place, and you eventually gain total control over how lean you want to get.

There aren’t any foods that will make you burn calories at a faster rate than others. It’s all a matter of how many calories you take in a day. Take in fewer than you burn, you lose weight. Take in more than you burn, you gain weight. You can figure out how many calories you burn in a day here: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/

Only exercise, moving around burns fat.
Food might help a bit if you eat frequent small meals as the digestive process burns calories too.
Reading, doing the ironing etc burn calories too. Look through the link

there are some things you can add to your diet to boost your metabolism. for example: green tea, cinnamon, turmeric, chilli powder, hot sauce, RAW vegetables, etc. There are some more but I can’t remember them right now. Just do a google search
