Information on Food That Flushes Fat

To flush fats takes an understanding of how your body works. Eating and drinking properly supports the effectiveness of the body's functioning and provides the ability for your body's metabolism to increase, thereby, burning fat more efficiently.

  1. Types

    • Start with lean protein, at least 8 oz a day. This helps build and repair tissue and muscles which helps increase metabolism. Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, all the colors of the rainbow. This will support your body with natural enzymes, vitamins, and minerals and will help with water retention. Use spices such as cinnamon, mustard, cayenne, and ginger---they help burn calories.

    Side Note

    • Be aware of your water intake. Drink eight 8 oz glasses or up to 1/2 your weight in ounces. This will help flush your system of toxins and allow the body's functioning to run smoothly. Add 1/2 lemon to your 8 oz water and heat to support the liver---the liver plays a major role in metabolism. Consume more vegetables than fruit a day as fruit contains more sugar.

    Considerations

    • Be gentle with yourself. Mental support plays a role in your overall state of health and ability for the body to do its job. Needless stress from verbal negativity inhibits a stable environment for your body to function and perform well.

    Prevention

    • Consuming insufficient amounts of water and protein can create water retention, which in turn creates a sluggish lymphatic system. If the lymph system fails to carry waste away effectively, the waste accumulates in fat cells causing cellulite.

    Significance

    • Eat healthy by eating whole foods whenever possible: lean meats, veggies, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, omega fatty acids, and complex carbohydrates (ie. quinoa, brown rice, spelt). Feeding your body nutrient rich foods will help with maintaining health.
