How to choose the best fat burning diet

The foods that you eat on a daily basis contain calories. The more food you eat, the more calories you consume. When you eat more calories then your body can burn then that excess energy is stored in fat deposits around your body.

Lets face it, there are a large number of fat burning diets to chose from today. To start burning away those unwanted fat deposits, the best place to start is to modify your diet. Ideally, you should reduce the number of calories you consume and also lessen your intake of sodium (salt) and fat.

Three main elements that tend to build up fat the fastest are:
* Calorie intake is excessive
* Late night eating - try to avoid this
* Not getting enough exercise

Not getting enough exercise is probably one of the biggest. Without proper exercise the body will build up uncessary fat and limits the speed your metabolic system operates. The body's metabolic system needs to reach a certain speed in order to burn away that fat. A few ways to increase your metabolism are:
* Eat more frequently (4 to 5 smaller meals each day instead of 2 -3) can make a big difference
* Some foods have been proven to increase the bodies metabolism

There are a number of foods that are generally accepted to assist in fat burning diets, and some of these are:
* Cayenne Pepper
* Ginger
* Citrus Fruit (Oranges, Lemons, Grapefuit, etc)
* Apples
* Bananas
* Dairy Products (Yoghurt, Cheese, Milk)
* Garlic
* and Cinnamon

Howerver simply consuimg these foods is not enough on it's own to start helping you loose weight. In order to burn through the most fat you possibly can, it is important that you:
1. Eat in moderation
2. Limit your intake of saturated fats
3. Eat at least 5 fruit and veg daily
4. and Raise your metabolism

Studies have also shown that foods rich with Vitamin C can act as a natural fat burner as well. Most of the citrus fruits contain healthy doses of Vitamin C and so you would be well advised to consume at least one of these fruits on a daily basis. Vitamin C is important in fat burning diets, because it dilutes and weakens the fat which in turn makes it much easier for the body to flush it out.

Water is also another fantastic choice when loosing weight. Water is 100% natural and helps to supress your appetite. It also happens to be very good at flushing excess sodium (salt) and it helps to increase the metabolic rate. What more could you ask for?
