There is no doubt that keeping fit and maintaining a perfect figure is becoming harder every day; especially now that most folks are starting to grasp the ACA and how health insurance works. With fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell or Dunkin’ Donuts spread all over the place you can have a really hard time finding healthy foods that prevent you from gaining weight. If you are interested in the way you look and feel from both a mental and physical point of view just like I am, then you will find this list very useful. After doing some thorough research I managed to put together a set of ten super-foods that are known do to wonders for your diet. After you will start to include just a part of these foods into your regular eating habits, it will be just a matter of time until the results start to appear.
10: Wild Salmon
Let’s start things off with a food that is a little more expensive but does not need to be included in each and every meal of the week. The wild salmon can be part of some of the most exquisite dishes in the world but few know that it is actually one of the healthiest foods you can eat. The omega-3 fatty acids provided by this fish act on a metabolic level and teach your body to rather bur fat than store it. Scientists found that eating salmon at least two times per week can massively lower your body fat index.
9: Apples
Fruit are very popular and easy to find no matter where you live. Some of them have amazing properties and can really help you shed off those extra pounds you really hate to see when looking in the mirror. Apples are very common all across the world. Few know about the great properties these fruits have. First off eating an apple can provide up to 5 grams of fiber per meal. Second of all apples are known to act as excellent calorie burners. Eating an apple before a consistent meal can lower the number of calories that are absorbed by your organism.
8: Lentils
Lentils are part of the legume family. Foods that include this ingredient are not that popular. The sliming properties of these beans are highly underrated because of their lack in taste. The most important element that can be found in lentils is resistant starch. This carbohydrate will decrease the size of fat cells and burn off excess weight. A meal that includes lentils can help you burn 23% more fat than usual.
7: Eggs
Few know why eggs are always part of some of the most popular breakfasts in the world. Eggs come with something called choline which can train your organism to block excessive fat absorption. Having an egg each and every morning will do wonders especially if you combine it with low fat foods. Experts recommend eating eggs for breakfast. This way every meal of the day will be influenced by the compounds found in eggs and you will not gain weight.

6: Olive Oil
Recent studies have shown that using olive oil instead of normal oil can do wonders for your figure. The mono-saturated fats act as a switch that can decrease fat deposits and also speed up your metabolism. You will burn fat more efficiently and you will eat better tasting food. All important diets incorporate olive oil in their structure. This low calorie ingredient can double the effects of a normal diet if used properly. Scientists have shown that combined with complex carbs and protein, olive oil can help you shed twice the weight you would normally lose when dieting.

5: Quinoa
This ingredient is one of the lesser known miracle workers when it comes to dieting. These beans are packed with proteins and have all the necessary amino to help you lose weight. Quinoa extract is used by athletes as a muscle regenerating ingredient. It will also speed up your metabolism and increase the percentage of fat burned with every training session. According to studies, a three month diet that includes Quinoa will determine your organism to lose 22% more fat than usual. You will also feel more active and your general health levels will increase. The down-side of this ingredient is that it is not that common and it is usually consumed separately from your normal meals.

4: Yogurt
One of the most surprising foods that are incorporated in my top 10 fat burning foods list is yogurt. The best and most productive when thinking of dieting is considered to be nonfat Greek yogurt. It offers a very important dose of calcium and the minerals that come with it slow cortisol secretion. Cortisol is one of those hormones that influence your body into storing fat especially around the belly. Study results are amazing when it comes to low fat yogurt. According to statistics, you can lose almost twice the weight you normally would if you integrate this ingredient into your diet.
3: Green Soybeans
Green soybeans are also known as Edamame. This vegetable comes with a high dose of protein helping your organism burn more fat than ever. Your body will learn to digest and process protein and lower carb and fat consumption. A diet that incorporates Edamame is known to help you raise calorie burning parameters with 10% per day.

2: Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are basically the same as lentils when it comes to helping you lose weight. By eating them you will teach your body to burn fat and also increase your peptide based hormone secretion. What this hormone does is basically influence your brain into thinking you are hungry or not.
1: Kiwi
Kiwi is one of the best fruits you can have for desert if you are on a diet or o if you plan on losing some weight. It is packed with Vitamin C that stimulates compounds that transport fat cells. You will be more active and you will burn more fat than usual. Studies have shown that a person with high Vitamin C blood levels can burn up to 10% more fat than a normal person.
