7 Burn-Boosting Foods

    Health magazine in November listed 7 burn-boosting foods. Most can be simple additions to your daily & weekly diets! I love simple additions for huge rewards! These foods will keep your metabolism stoked:

~ Egg Whites – rich in branched-chain amino acids which rev metabolism.

~ Lean Meat – full of iron. Iron deficiencies can slow metabolism.

~ Water – being mildly dehydrated can slow metabolism. Drink cold water to rev it even more.

~ Chili Peppers – contain capsaicin which will kick metabolism into high gear. One tablespoon of chopped chilies a day added to a meal will do it.

~ Coffee – 16% higher metabolism than decaf drinkers!

~ Green Tea – contains EGCG, a plant compound that promotes fat-burning.

~ Milk – studies show that consuming calcium may help your body metabolize fat more efficiently.

   So try an egg white omelet with chilies & calcium-rich cheese with a glass of green tea for breakfast one morning. A bowl of iron-fortified cereal with milk & a cup of coffee seems simple enough for another morning. Keep drinking the water too!
