25 Fat-Burning Foods to Jumpstart Your Weight Loss

Protein not only promotes muscle growth and repair, as it is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of your muscle, but it is the preferred fuel to burn fat. “You actually burn more calories to process protein than carbs and fats,” explains Dr. Petre. This is due to the fact that it has a higher thermic effect of food, which is the energy you use to digest food into absorbable particles. It also keeps you from eating more, as it slows down digestion and deters excessive snacking. “Over time the calories saved equal weight loss,” she adds. An added bonus? It helps with sugar highs and lows by slowing down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream, which wards off cravings and keeps your blood sugar from spiking up and down dramatically.
