Foods That Burn Fat + Boost Metabolism

Foods that burn fat, and boost metabolism.

They’re certain foods that can help aid in fat loss for sure, and I have a few listed below.

Before we dive in please note that having fat on your body is not necessarily a bad thing, ok! We need fat on our bodies to function properly.

Not having enough good fat on our bodies can cause issues like:

• Fertility problems
• lower immune system
• vitamin deficiency
• up the risk of heart and/or diabetes

Studies recommend a healthy/acceptable percentage for women is 20-30% body fat. For healthy/fit 13-20% body fat. Now again this is different for every body type.

It’s when we get below 11% or above 30% is when issues are caused. I recommend seeing and Dr. or Fitness professional to measure you for an accurate reading.

Getting an accurate reading can also determine if you have allot of visceral fat (bad fat) or not.

Fat Is placed differently on areas of your body, and depending on where its located, and how it feels can help you discover what kind of fat it may be.

There are two main types of FAT Subcutaneous Fat and Visceral Fat.

 

 

Subcutaneous Fat, the less harmful fat sits around your hips, legs and arms, tend to feel more squishy, and can jiggle more. Visceral fat is located deeper in, and around the organs that tend to be in the midsection area, and feels more firm or hard like.  

Luckily you can loose this fat when you decide to create a healthy lifestyle for yourself. Meaning you begin to eat the right foods to nourish, and fuel your body, and you start to move your body daily. Health is a lifestyle, not a quick fix.
