Which Foods Burn the Most Calories

Share on :
You probably already know that in order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. While it may seem difficult to burn calories, there are list foods to burn more calories.

Celery



Celery, a marshland plant variety in the family Apiaceae, has been cultivated as a vegetable since antiquity. Depending on location and cultivar, either its stalks, leaves, or hypocotyl are eaten and used in cooking. Celery has a thermic effect of around 8%, much less than the 100% or more required for a food to have "negative calories". A stalk of celery provides 6 calories to the body, but the body expends only half of a single calorie digesting it.


Grapefruits



The grapefruit is a subtropical citrus tree known for its sour to semi-sweet fruit. Grapefruits usually range in diameter from four to six inches and include both seed and seedless and pink and white varieties. The wonderful flavor of a grapefruit is like paradise as is expressed by its Latin name, Citrus paradisi.

Grapefruit doesn't have any magical fat-burning properties, but it can help you feel full with fewer calories. That's because its soluble fiber takes longer to digest. Having half a grapefruit or a glass of grapefruit juice before a meal fills you up, so you eat fewer calories during the meal.


Whole grains


A whole grain is a cereal grain that contains the germ, endosperm, and bran, in contrast to refined grains, which retain only the endosperm. Your body burns twice as many calories breaking down whole foods (especially those rich in fiber such as oatmeal and brown rice) than processed foods.


Green tea



Tea is considered the most consumed beverage in the world behind water, however 78% of the tea consumed worldwide is black and only about 20% is green.

The benefits of green tea shouldn't be lessened by the addition of flavors," says Glassman. We're talking pomegranate green tea, cranberry green tea, etc. However, if the flavoring includes sugar, it may contain more calories than unflavored teas, says Glassman. Her recommendation: Avoid green teas with any added sugar or artificial sweeteners

Omega-3



Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body can' t make them -- you have to get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.

Omega-3 fatty acids also help the body burn calories and excess weight. After taking fish oil supplements for only 6 weeks, some people have experienced noticeable weight loss.

Coffee cinnamon


The consumption of cinnamon is said to impact abdominal fat more so than fat found in other parts of your body., according to a review article published in the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology in May 2010. Both of these effects can help people who are trying to lose weight. The longer your food stays in your stomach, the longer it takes for you to begin to feel hungry again. This may help you eat less and create the necessary calorie deficit to lose weight. For each pound of weight loss per week, you'll need to eliminate about 500 calories per day.


Avocado



The monounsaturated fats found in avocados are burned readily for fuel during exercise and actually encourage fat burning. Avocados also contain a very interesting carb called mannoheptulose, a sugar that actually blunts insulin release and enhances calcium absorption, both of which are critical for encouraging fat loss.

According to research have shown that avocados can;

Reduce total cholesterol levels significantly.
Reduce blood triglycerides by up to 20%.
Lower LDL cholesterol by up to 22%.
Increase HDL (the “good”) cholesterol by up to 11%.
One of the studies showed that including avocado in a low-fat vegetarian diet led to improvements in the cholesterol profile


Spicy foods


Chili peppers that contain a compound called capsaicin will boost your metabolic rate, causing your body to burn more calories for a while after consumption. Capsaicin is the main, active compound found in hot peppers that gives you that distinctive burning sensation when eaten. Spices that are high in Capsaicin are chilli peppers, jalapenos, habaneros and cayenne pepper.

There is evidence to show that spices, especially chilli, can raise the metabolic rate by up to 50% for up to 3 hours after you’ve eaten a spicy meal.


Chia seeds



These little seeds are incredibly nutritious, with significant concentrations of protein, fiber and several essential minerals. Chia seeds are popular for weight loss. They reduce food cravings by preventing some of the food that you eat from getting absorbed into your system. This blockage of calorie absorption makes them a great diet helper.


Watermelon



The crunchy watermelon is also extremely low in calories and great at helping dieters lose weight.

One reason why watermelon can help you to lose weight is that it is a very rich source of B vitamins, which increase your energy levels and reduce your need to eat extra foods (which you may be more tempted to do when you are feeling sluggish).


Nutritionists working on the health benefits of eating watermelon also speculate that it might have the power to boost your metabolic rate to a higher level than other fruits, due to the fact that it contains so much fiber and protein.


Apples



Apples is a source of something called herperidin, which lowers levels of bad cholesterol. It is speculated that this second benefit might be the reason that daily consumption of Apples appears to cut stroke risk by almost 20%.
