If you think that all fats are bad, then you are in for a shock.
You see, contrary to popular belief, some highly fatty foods actually help you to burn fat!
Yes, I know, it is shocking but true.
So let me just share with you the Top 3 fatty foods that burn fats, even those nasty, stubborn ones.
1. Avocadoes. The first super fatty foods that burn fats is avocado. This is one of my favorite fat burning foods. This amazing “fatty food” makes everything taste creamier and tastier but is in fact power-packed with loads of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
This is one fat source you don’t want to miss because the fats inside avocadoes are actually healthy fats that helps to control your appetite as well as that fantastic fat burning hormones in your body, thereby increasing your fat burning rate.
To start savoring this super food, add slices of avocadoes or use the avocado dips (like the Mexican guocamole) to things like eggs, burgers, salads and sandwiches. Just doing that will start your body on a fat burning mission.
2. Egg yolk. Egg yolks has mistakenly been labeled as unhealthy food due to its high fat and cholesterol content. What most people don’t realize however is that the high cholesterol in egg yolks are actually of the GOOD cholesterol variety that your body needs to maintain the good/bad cholesterol levels.
As for the fat content in egg yolk, you can actually get the good omega-3 fats if you choose eggs from free-ranging hens (don’t choose those from hens that are caged their whole life). Free-ranging hens produce egg yolks with high omega-3 fats that you want.
The fact of the matter is that egg yolks are nutrient-dense food source that consist of a variety of minerals, trace nutrients and vitamins. In fact, if you try listing all of these amazing nutrients, it will fill up an entire page or more.
So now that you know that egg yolks are a great nutrient-packed food source, go ahead and enjoy them. They are indeed one of those great foods that burn fats from your body!
3. Grass-fed beef. Indeed this is one fantastic food source that is becoming hard to come by. Why? Because most of the beef you see in grocery stores nowadays comes from grain-fed cattles or worse, from cattles which are fed meats (yes, our food system has gone bonkers feeding meats to herbivores just to increase their protein content).
These grain-fed cattles are not in the best of health and has lower nutrition values. For example, the fatty acids ratios of omega-6 to omega-3 are way too high. We want more of the better omega-3 fatty acids rather than the omega-6 fatty acids (which most of us get too much anyway).
Grass-fed beef on the other hand, have high omega-3 fatty acids and contains way more vitamins and minerals. More importantly, grass-fed beef has higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a healthy fat that helps in building muscles and burning fats.
So these are the Top 3 fatty foods that actually help you to burn fats. So don’t shy away from them. Eat them because these are really awesome fatty foods that burn fats in your body.
