Fat burning foods can be extremely beneficial for someone when they are trying to burn as many calories a day as possible. They can even push you over the edge. Also, if eaten every day, over time, they can add a significant amount to fat loss without you lifting a finger. Here are some of my top fat burning foods that I recommend to all of my clients and have worked tremendously well.

Food #1: Coffee. Coffee, by itself is not a fat burning food, but the caffeine contained inside each cup of hot java is very potent when it comes to fat burning. It has been shown to increase nervous system output, increase in strength. It has also been shown to increase fatty acid oxidation. The recommendation to aid in performance is to consume 200 mg 30 minutes before your workout.

Food #2: Habanero peppers. These peppers are some of the hottest in the world. Because they are so spicy they are also a potent fat burning food. They have been shown to increase your metabolism for up to 3 hours after ingested. This can be up to 80 calories extra a day. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Food #3: Green tea. Green tea is another hot topic these days for its weight loss properties. The main ingredients in green tea that is all the rage is ECGC. It has been shown to increase metabolism and burn more fat while at rest. Green tea has another benefit because of its high anti oxidant count in each cup. Anti oxidants are special in that they round up free radicals, which can cause harm to your body's cells.

These are just my top 3 fat burning foods. Obviously there are more, but just too much to cover. Add these into your diet right away to burn those extra calories and more body fat in the process.
