1. Apples with the Peel

Apples with the peel still on has the chemical component to be able to limit the production of fat cells by reducing the amount of fat your body absorbs. It also is capable of creating water binding activity to enhance the discharge of fat deposits. As a bonus, eating an apple before anything else in the morning can be as stimulating to the mind as a cup of coffee.

2. Hot Peppers

Capsaicin is an element found in many hot peppers, especially jalapenos, which naturally stimulates the metabolism into a fat burning frenzy. The high heat release from the peppers increases heart rate which increases circulation which can remove and/or burn fat from the system.

3. The C in Citrus

Vitamin C is hailed for many bodily attributes including weight loss. The system uses this vitamin to process fat breakdown which can encourage a weight loss program. Citrus fruits like pineapples, oranges, lemons, kiwis, limes, and grapefruits are all high in vitamin C and should be incorporated into your daily diet for not only weight loss but antioxidant activity and tissue repair. The above mentioned hot peppers are also high in vitamin C.

4. Trick Your Appetite with Fiber

Fiber has the ability to send a message to your brain that you are full and that you should stop consuming food. By instilling more fiber rich foods into your diet you will be able to get through the day without reaching for those dreaded hip widening snacks. Instead, seek out high fiber cereal, whole grain wheat breads, beans, carrots and fruit.

5. Salmon and Flax

Fish and flaxseed contain omega 3 fatty acids that are an excellent source of reducing the levels of the hormone leptin which is essential for calorie burning. Prepare your fish clean such as broiling or baking and refrain from frying in butter or oil which will end up adding calories that are more difficult to breakdown. Flaxseed can be sprinkled on cereal or, as well as fish, can be taken in an oil filled capsule supplement daily. Omega 3 is also beneficial in joint mobility and brain enhancement.
