Will These Foods Accelerate Weight Loss?

There are no miracles or secrets to weight loss, as much as we are told there is in the press.

However, while there aren’t any secrets, the required consistency, dedication and will power is still extremely difficult for most to adhere to.

As a result, many fad diets hit the headlines all promising rapid results for little sacrifice.

However, it is not necessarily the diets that will help you lose weight but a few key foods that can help you be a bit more efficient with your fat burning goals.

Of course there are a few supplements that can help too, but you cannot just live off supps.

So how do certain foods help burn fat?

These foods or some ingredients found in fat burners stimulate a raise in your metabolism, they can suppress hunger or improve digestion.

It is these factors which can then accelerate weight loss.

Yet this isn’t just a carte blanche to eat more bad foods just in the hope that it will all be melted away.

No, as with all weight loss a regime of exercise needs to be put in place also. You do not get something for nothing.

Foods to look out for

Grapefruit

Grapefruit helps break down fat and contains naringin which displays strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Known as a citrus flavonoid and found in grapefruit, it is also good for reducing cholesterol, high blood pressure, overall obesity as well as improving cardiovascular health.

Celery

Each stem of celery only contains 6 calories, three quarters of it consists of water with the remaining quarter being fiber. This can help you feel full.

It is often said that eating celery helps lose weight because the digestive process uses more calories than provided by the celery.

However, it seems when mixed with chicory and barley it is beneficial to lower blood cholesterol and liver disease.

Broccoli

Broccoli is a great hormone regulator and is eaten raw by many sportsmen.

It also contains lots of vitamin C which is vital to burn more calories, if you are lacking vitamin C studies have proven that less calories are burnt during exercise.

Notwithstanding that if you have a hormone imbalance with more estrogen than testosterone you can also gain unwanted weight.

This is where Diindolylmethane appears to promote a healthy balance of testosterone in the body and is found in vegetables such as broccoli.

Cruciferous vegetables which contain high levels of DIM such as broccoli are eaten by many professional athletes such as rugby league players for their benefits.
