subject: The Power Of Fat Burning Fruits Being Essential In Any Weight Loss Plan [print this page] So you are looking to lose some weight and shed that gut which has formed around your waist line over the past few years. Good for you! I sincerely hope that you have the resolve to stick to your goal of becoming a lean and healthier individual. Naturally you want to not only eat less, but just as importantly consume the right type of food sources. Here is a hint: Do not overlook the power of eating lots of fat burning fruits. They would be crucial to any type of weight loss plan!
Why are fat burning fruits so essential towards your goal in becoming a healthier person? Next to vegetables, fruits contain the best form of micro-nutrients which are essential for the health and maintenance of the human body. Fruits are loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants; the last being a natural source that helps the body guard against disease. Fruits are also low in calories. Try saying that about the decadent slice of chocolate cake, (with white frosting) that you consumed last night for dessert as part of your dinner!
Speaking of dessert, personally I admit as a kid being treated by my paternal grandmother to her baked homemade apple pies, either orange, chocolate, or white vanilla cakes and (best of all) chocolate chip cookies; each made from her own closely guarded recipes stored in her head. Every time I visited her along with my parents and one other sibling, my grandmother had already spent time in her kitchen baking one of these treats for us. Whatever leftovers were not eaten at her house, we then simply took the rest home! I'll go ahead and say it: When it came to baking goodies my grandmother had me spoiled! I also thought that she was the best cook on planet Earth; as I'm sure many people now think of each of their grandmothers if they were so fortunate, as I was, to have known them for a part of their lives.
Here is the thing though regarding eating baked desserts. I was quite active as a child, had a very fast metabolism rate, could eat a horse, (so to speak) and still be skinny. Years later I am now in my fifties. Although I still workout four or so days per week, I also realize that my metabolism has slowed down. I can't eat those sweets as much, less I now have an extra 75 pounds on my frame.
Most desserts: pies, cakes, cookies, brownies, ice cream, etc. all contain sugar. There's an old saying sugar is sweet. Very true and one can add another motto: sugar equals more weight! Sugar when consumed in vast quantities stretched over a period of years can also lead to debilitating illnesses, chief amongst them being diabetes. If you have decided to seriously take part in any weight loss plan, you must cut down, (or cut out completely) on the sweets and instead eat more fresh fruit.
The types of fruit that are considered to be the most beneficial to one's body include fresh apples, oranges, bananas, melons and various berries. These foods, when eaten in healthy portions also tend to curb your hunger as well; filling you completely, (satisfying your hunger) with fat burning ingredients.
One final thought: Many people mistakenly believe that consuming fruit juices, (even in 100% juice form) as part of a diet is the same as eating fresh fruit. This notion is false! Many fruit juices contain that nasty little ingredient, sugar, manufactured by companies to enrich the taste. Also fruit juices lack the important ingredient that is found in fresh fruit: fiber. Fiber consumed naturally in specific food products, (fresh fruit and vegetables) greatly benefits the body's digestive system.
