Like this man pictured above, many of us have stuffed ourselves over the past few days (and guess what? Christmas is just around the corner!). Let’s not forget all of those Christmas cookies and candies around the office you will be snacking on (you know, the goodies you keep telling yourself that you just “checking ‘em out” KNOWING FULL WELL YOU EAT THE SAME THINGS EVERY YEAR THIS TIME). Why not consider replacing some of those “tasty breaks” with one of the foods mentioned in this post?
Now please keep in mind that these foods are not to be accompanied with fried chicken, a rack of ribs, Doritos, banana pudding, etc., etc. This is the equivalent of someone drinking a diet Pepsi while eating two Big Macs! As you reduce the bad junk from your diet, increase some of these foods in its place if you are wanting to loose some weight.
[Personally, I have never tried the soybeans]
Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits like, oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, lemons, and limes contain high concentrations of Vitamin C (this is also called ascorbic acid). This Vitamin C has a fat burning quality.
Vitamin C reduces the effectiveness of fat. It reduces its content and can liquefy or dilute fat. By diluting the fat, it makes it less effective, and easier to flush out of your system. Vitamin C also works on cholesterol deposits. Vitamin C can help burn out the cholesterol, hence, making it difficult for cholesterol deposits to form in blood vessels.
By adding Citrus Fruits to your daily diet, try every meal and also a snack, you will great increase your metabolism, increase your ability to get rid of fat, and also help you to control your cholesterol levels.
Soybeans
Soybeans contain lecithin, this chemical will shield your cells from accumulating fat. This chemical prevents, like a shield, fat from forming on your cells. It will also break down fatty deposits in your body.
Eat soybeans at least 3 times a week and you’ll be boosting your bodies ability to get rid of fat. You can find soybeans in most health food stores.
Apples, Berries, Fresh Fruit
Apples contain a chemical call pectin. This chemical is found in most berries, and fresh fruit. The pectin is in the cell walls of most fruits, especially apples.
Pectin limits the amount of fat your cells can absorb. This will put a natural limitation on the amount of fat your cells can absorb. Pectin, once in your system, has a water binding property, it absorbs watery substances, and these watery substances in turn bombards the cells and makes it release fat deposits.
Add applesauce (it’s loaded with pectin), apples, fresh fruit and berries, to your diet and let the power of pectin pulverize the fat that accumulates on your cells. An apple a day can help keep the fat away.
Garlic Oil
Garlic oil or the juice of garlic has a significant protective quality to cells which help to reduce fatty deposits. When taken, it brings down the levels of fat. Garlic, garlic oil, or anything with garlic, also has an antibiotic property to it and can be used to cure many ailments. Please look at a home remedies page I wrote and you’ll see all the uses garlic has to offer, but in brief, it can be used as an antibiotic, it also destroys bacterial infections, and has the power to reduce fat in your cells dramatically.
