My name is Diana Keuilian, I’m the creator of Family
Friendly Fat Burning Foods and today I’d like to share with you my top 7 Tips
To Make Fat Burning Meals.
Wouldn't it be great if all your favorite comfort meals
naturally promoted fat loss? I think that would be awesome.
My old favorite comfort meals were fried fish tacos,
fully-loaded veggie burritos, angel hair pasta with mizithra cheese and
cheese-smothered veggie burgers with fries. Yummmmmmmm! Unfortunately these old
favorites brought on rapid fat storage.
Due to my love of food, in my twenties I went from a size 4
to a size 12.
In my frustration I tried portion control, and began to
limit the amount of foods that I ate. This began a yo-yo cycle of eating less
food one day, more the next, and never seeing the results I wanted.
Over the past few years I've read countless books on
nutrition and have finally landed on the formula for creating meals that
promote fat loss, and taste good while doing it.
Oh and this method of eating has effortlessly brought me
back to that size 4 :)
This is what I discovered...
Fat Burning Tip #1) Focus On Protein
The base of a fat burning meal is a healthy serving of quality, lean protein. Choose from organic, hormone-free chicken, pork, beef, lamb, veal, fish or eggs.
No wonder I was gaining weight! Most of my favorite meals
had very little to do with protein. After giving up meat at age 12, I spent the
next 18 years as a junk food vegetarian. Most of my meals were made up of
processed grains and sugar.
Why is protein so important? Protein supports and fuels your lean tissues, namely your muscles, and does not have an effect on blood sugar levels, which would promote fat storage.
Fat Burning Tip #2) Ditch Grains and Refined Sugar
A fat burning meal does not
contain a serving of grains or starches. Yes, I realize that this goes against
everything that we have been taught or experienced with dinners. Most meals are
plated with a jumbo serving of noodles, pasta, potatoes, rice, has been breaded
or is served with bread, tortillas, chips or buns.
As I learned the hard way,
these carbs are more than we need, and end up being stored as fat. And, yes, it
is possible to create fat-burning dinners that satisfy even the hungriest
meat-and-potatoes members of your family.
This was the hardest part for me to get used to. Grains and
sugar are filled with fat-promoting carbs, and as you saw above, my favorite
meals were all carb-ed out.
There's really no reason,
other than habit, to eat grains or sugar on a regular basis. Once I removed
these from my diet, and got out of the habit of eating them, I no longer craved
or even found my old favorites very appealing.
Fat Burning Tip #3) Bring On The Veggies
After you remove the grains and sugars from your meal, add a
bunch of fiber-filled veggies instead. One of my favorite things to do now when
building a fat burning meal is to get a bowl, add a few handfuls of organic
spinach and arugula, and then top it with protein and some cooked veggies. Add
a light homemade dressing and you're looking at the perfect, quick fat burning
meal.
Fiber-filled veggies are important for many reasons in
addition to the fiber. They are filled with nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and
antioxidants, all of which your body needs. They are also very low in
calories compared to the amount of space that they take up in your stomach. So
you'll get full faster on fewer calories.
Fat Burning Tip #4) Quality Ingredients
Ingredients are the building blocks to a healthy meal so pay
attention to the quality of the ingredients you use. Fast food just isn’t going
to cut it! Be willing to spend a little more on the foods that you eat. Quality
is much more important that quantity.
When choosing meat look for
organic, antibiotic and hormone-free. Avoid processed meats, like lunchmeats,
as these contain potentially harmful additives and lots of salt. Also avoid highly
processed soy fake meats.
Choose foods that are:
- Fresh, organic and seasonal
- Pronounceable ingredients
- Whole foods
Fat Burning Tip #5) Use A Healthy Cooking Method
The method in which you cook your meal determines how many
calories, how much added fat, and the number of nutrients that survive.
Don’t prepare meals like this:
- Fried and battered
- Processed and packaged
- Doused with cream sauce
Choose these cooking methods:
- Grilled
- Baked
- Broiled
- Steamed
Fat Burning Tip #6) Cook With Coconut Oil
I used to always cook with vegetable oil, never
realizing how harmful it was to my fat loss efforts. Unfortunately most people
use harmful, unstable and fat promoting oils when they cook.
The good news is that coconut oil is an amazing,
healthy oil that not only tastes great but also helps promote fat loss. Among
its many benefits, coconut oil is stable, even at high temperatures. It’s
filled with lauric acid, which boosts the immune system and helps ward off
infections.
Best of all, coconut oil has been
shown to increase metabolism and thyroid activity, which boosts fat burning.
Fat Burning Tip #7) Enjoy Dessert of Fresh Fruit
When is the last time that
you bit into a fresh, organic, perfectly ripe piece of fruit? Delicious, wasn’t
it? I used to overlook fruit as the perfect dessert that it is, and instead would
eat artificially flavored, cane sugar sweetened, processed desserts that
encourage rapid weight gain and declined health.
I’m not going to say that
ice cream and chocolate don’t taste awesome, because they do. But eating
desserts like that on a regular basis is one of the big reasons that I kept
gaining weight back in my twenties. By making the simple switch from refined
sugar desserts to desserts of organic, fresh fruit I was able to lose weight
without feeling deprived.
Let’s bring fruit back to
its rightful place as our favorite, most popular after-dinner sweet. Out with
the refined sugar and corn syrup and in with Nature’s sweetest gift…fresh
fruit.
