Five Foods That KILL Body Fat | Eastern North Carolina Now

Number One

Whole Eggs:   Eggs are one of the highest quality sources of protein, with the healthiest part being the yolk. Vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants (such as lutein) are found in the yolk.

Number Two

Grass-fed Beef or Bison:   "Grass-fed beef or bison (NOT your typical grocery store beef!) - Most people think that red meat is unhealthy for you, but that's because they don't understand how the health of the animal affects how healthy the meat is for your consumption. Keep this in mind - 'an unhealthy animal provides unhealthy meat, but a healthy animal provides healthy meat.'"

Number Three

Avocados:   "Even though these are typically thought of as a 'fatty food', it's all healthy fats! Not only are avocados super-high in healthy monounsaturated fat, but also chock full of vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients, and antioxidants. They're also a great source of fiber!"

Number Four

Nuts:   Walnuts, almonds, pecans, macadamia, etc. "Yes, this is yet another 'fatty food' that can actually help you burn fat! Although nuts are generally between 75-90% fat in terms of a ratio of fat calories to total calories, this is another type of food that is all healthy fats, along with high levels of nutrition such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Nuts are also a good source of fiber and protein, which of course, you know helps to control blood sugar and can aid fat loss."

Number Five

Berries:   Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and even the "exotic" Goji berry. "Berries are a powerhouse of nutrition...packed with vitamins and minerals, and also some of the best sources of antioxidants of any food in existence. Berries also pack a healthy dose of fiber, which slows your carbohydrate absorption and digestion rate, and controls your blood sugar levels to help prevent insulin spikes (which can stimulate fat gain)."
