5 Fat-Burning Foods For the Holidays
With the holidays here, it can seem like diet
sabotage is around every corner. But it's not just about sugary office
treats and endless holiday party spreads; some of the most common Fall
and Winter foods actually help, not hurt, your waistline. Want to know
which ones? Read on for five fat-burning foods you should be eating this
holiday season!
Your favorite indulgence actually includes
two ingredients that are known to boost metabolism: caffeine and the
antioxidant catechin. Just make sure you stick to a small square a day
so the sugar and calories don't outweigh dark chocolate's fat-burning
potential.
Sweet potatoes may just be your cold-weather
fat-burning secret. Sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, which
helps keep you feeling full while burning calories by putting your
digestive system to work. And they also contain a hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar.
Stick with simply seasoned boiled or steamed sweet potatoes — not a
sugary Thanksgiving dessert — if you are eating for weight loss.
This is the time of year where cinnamon is
often the star, and that's a good thing: the warming Winter spice has
been shown to slow digestion and regulate blood sugar to boost your
metabolism.
You can find various types of pears
throughout the Winter, and there's reason to stock up: pears, like
apples, contain high levels of pectin, which binds to water and limits the amount of fat your body absorbs.
Rest assured, your post-Thanksgiving leftover
turkey habit is helping you burn fat. Lean protein, like turkey, keeps
you full and takes energy to digest — both of which mean increased
metabolism. Go for skinless breast meat to keep the calories down.
