In addition to your exercise program, there are certain foods you should eat to increase your body’s metabolism. “Heat producing,” or thermogenic foods should be eaten regularly as this helps our bodies to burn more fat.
To speed up your metabolic rate, you should be eating some of the best fat burning foods from the list below.
Veggies - These veggies will not make you gain fat, so eat as much of them as you like. To get the most benefit from them, they should be eaten raw or lightly steamed. Cauliflower, cabbage, celery, green beans, artichokes, beets, onions, cucumbers, leeks, sauerkraut, string beans, pumpkin, Brussels sprouts, radishes, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, okra, asparagus, corn, turnips, kale, red cabbage, lettuce, peppers, scallions and eggplant.
Fruits - The following fruits are packed with vitamins, LOW in calories, and will really get the old metabolism revved up. Fruit is also high water-content, which is great for the digestive system.
