Food That Burn Fat Is Not A New Miracle Food

Is this a newly discovered miracle food? No it's just that certain foods contain certain elements which are scientifically proven to boost the body's ability to burn away body fat. For instance it's a know fact that a higher fiber diet increases the metabolism and by including more fiber rich foods in your diet you will inadvertently be consuming food that burn fat. The only problem is that if you read somewhere of a new discovery making your body burn fat faster, you cannot start to focus on that alone as it would be an unbalanced diet. That in it self can pose more dangers to your health than you can think of. You could contract an illness that outweighs being overweight by far.

Due to the high levels of air pollution, water pollution, work related stress levels, fast foods and the addition of micro elements which effects on the human DNA on the long run are unknown, people will tend to get sicker every year and the role that the balanced diet will only get bigger. The solution to burn more fat would then lie in eating a balanced diet which includes certain foods that burn fat.

Even major fast food outlets all over the world have recently come under the spotlight. Suddenly they started to change their menus and advertisements to suggest a healthier lifestyle. If they were not forced by negative publicity, thousands of people's fast food eating habits would not have been affected at all.

Have you seen an overweight person eating a fast food in public? And drinking a soda? Sure. The nature of it all suggests that our lifestyles should change. And change is not likely due the fact that the people with the money wish it to remain the same. Fast food is a big business. Money talks and every person have to eat. The change should come from establishing a public awareness and teaching children from a young age the value of adding certain foods to their diets.

Unfortunately governments all over the world are also in part infected with the money driven fast food epidemic and schools are giving children food that is high in fats and sugar and low in fiber.

Parents are partly to blame as well. Years of education, and in the case of millions of parents - years of experience suggests they know too well what happens when your diet is out of balance. Yet their children sometimes look more obese than the parents. And the reason should not be looked behind door number thirty four, you can plainly see what they eat is the cause of their excessive existence. Just look around when you get to a fast food restaurant or take away. They are easy to spot.

Obese people usually go on crash diets which usually last a day! In stead of going on a diet they should start to eat more! They just have to start by eating extra portions before, with or after every meal. Not extra portions of the main course but by adding food that burn fat to the menu in any order, they would not feel that they are depriving their bodies, feel neglected, reject the idea of a diet and go for the fridge. This way they will potentially start to lose weight.

Good post, but there's one major error. Parents are NOT to blame at ALL. Restaurants are to blame completely.

In a recent survey commissioned by the California Center for Public Health Advocacy people were asked to figure out the healthiest fast food. NO ONE could do it. Repeat, NO ONE could do it, including a Ph.D.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "I have a doctorate in public health, and I failed this quiz," said Dr. Harold Goldstein. "Common sense does not help ... who would think that a large chocolate shake at McDonald's has more calories than two Big Macs?"

Picking the healthiest item on a restaurant menu is not as easy as it seems, according to a new poll that found most respondents were unable to identify the dishes lowest in calories, salt and fat.

None of the respondents answered all four questions correctly, and 68 percent failed all of them. Less than 1 percent answered three of four questions correctly, and education and income levels had no impact, the CCPHA said.

The first question asked people to choose which Denny's dish was lowest in calories: a ham and cheddar omelet, country fried steak and eggs, three slices of French toast with syrup and margarine, or three pancakes with syrup and margarine.

The answer? Country fried steak and eggs.


I have been advocating for months on my blog that restaurants need to explicitly tell you how many calories are in every item and in an entire meal.

If a Ph.D in public health can't help you figure out the number of calories in a Big Mac, what can?
