This list of fat burning foods might surprise you!

1. Avocados are high in fat, but it is all healthy fat and loaded with vitamins, antioxidants and minerals.  Plus it is a very satisfying food, meaning that it helps keep you feeling full longer.  The “nutrition you get from avocados helps your body to maintain proper levels of hormones that help with fat loss and muscle building.” 

2. Berries of all types are super foods packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.  They are also a great source of fiber which can help control blood sugar levels and prevent insulin spikes. 

3. Nut of all types are high in fat too, but again they are healthy fats that can actually help you burn fat.  Raw nuts are actually better than roasted nuts if you can find them.  They are also a good source of protein and fiber which aids in controlling blood sugar levels. 

4. Vegetables and greens especially broccoli, artichokes, cauliflower, spinach, cabbage, eggplant, tomatoes, celery, peas, and green peppers are fantastic sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber.  Plus they are generally low in calories.

5. Grass Fed Beef and Bison but not the typical grocery store meat.  Grass fed beef and bison in comparison to grain fed beef and bison are high in omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin E.  Grass fed meat also contains healthy fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which helps build lean muscle and burn fat.

6. Whole eggs are a great source of protein but eating not just the egg whites is best.  The yolk of the egg actually contains the majority of the antioxidants, minerals and vitamins in the egg.  Free range organic eggs are better than the regular store bought variety in providing omega 3 fatty acids and are more nutrient rich. 

So go out and get some of these super foods that help burn fat and include them in your everyday diet!
