Fat burning foods
contain what are called reverse calories. When mixed with fattening foods, fat
burning foods make fatty foods less calorific by destroying their fat before it
is stored in the body. Eating greater amounts of fat burning foods can make you
thin without starving yourself.
For example, real
fruit is preferable to fruit juice. A fresh orange is fat burning because it
requires digestive energy (calories) to digest the pulp and fiber. Fresh orange
juice is not fattening but it is not ‘fat burning’ because no great energy
expense is needed to digest it. Many soups, while low-calorie, are not fat
burning because little effort is needed to digest them.
Fatty meats are
not considered fat burning foods because the body is left with excess calories
after digestion. Lean meats, however, can be considered fat burning foods.
Leaner meats help the body burn its own fat and do not contribute left-over
calories to any significant degree. In addition to their bodybuilding
functions, lean meats stimulate the production of glucagon, a fat-dissolving hormone.
Glucagon causes a release of fat from inner fat stores so that the fat can be
burned.
This happens in
the presence of fat burning foods.
