Innovative and sometimes unexpected discoveries of modern scientists regarding this or that product, force nutritionists to include or, conversely, exclude them from diet programs. Moreover, experts have compiled a list of popular products that have fat-burning properties. They have no miraculous properties, the fact is that their calorie content has a minus sign, that is, it is negative. And it is precisely this characteristic that actively influences the processes of fat burning.
Please note - this indicator is very conditional, since in addition to it, products have a certain nutritional value, and, far from all, it is considered low-calorie. But due to the structure of products at the molecular level, a person spends more energy on their processing than they give the body. This difference in the negative direction, just provides the process of burning fat, so nutritionists called these products negatively high in calories.
Fat Burner Products Table Adams Nutritionist Table
The famous nutritionist from the USA, Dr. Michael Adams, was one of the first to study the issue of creating a diet program that is not harmful to health and contributes to effective weight loss. One of the stages of the study was the development of a table that includes products that actively break down fat deposits and accelerate the metabolism in the body, but completely saturate it with a vitamin-mineral, amino acid, protein-fat and carbohydrate complex of substances. They became products with a negative calorie content, that is, contributing to an active metabolism and breakdown of fats.

Each of the above products has characteristic, inherent features that help people lose weight and at the same time maintain excellent physical shape. Now let's talk about them a little more.
Cinnamon
The magnificent "slimming" spice, the use of which was practiced in ancient China.
The main "weapon" of cinnamon, under the influence of which extra pounds melt like snow, is the ability to lower the amount of glucose in the circulatory system, which the body, like other simple sugars, likes to put aside "in reserve". That is why cinnamon can be used instead of sugar, which for most of us remains the main source of glucose.
Incidentally, the ability of cinnamon to burn extra pounds in people with a slow metabolism, as well as to activate the brain, drew the attention of American and English nutritionists who advise to introduce cinnamon into your diet.
It is best used as a drink, combining it with honey, especially since a spoonful of this spice satisfies the daily requirement for calcium and manganese.
Please note: cinnamon can not be used for people with cardiovascular problems (especially hypertension), and cinnamon grown in China (it is called cassia) has a coumarin substance that negatively affects the liver.
Ginger root
The healing properties of ginger were familiar in the ancient world. Ginger root speeds up the metabolism, thins the blood, promotes energy production. Ginger is converted into a fat-burning product by essential oils, which lower cholesterol and stabilize the intestines, making them digest food more quickly, stopping the process of fermentation and rotting of foods and facilitating its rapid emptying. In addition, ginger has an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect, so it can be used for colds to reduce its manifestations.
Ginger is used in any form, but nutritionists especially recommend tea infused with fresh ginger root and “diluted” with honey and lemon. Such a drink is not only useful, but also tasty, so even children will drink it with pleasure.
Avocado
This negative calorie exotic product contains a substance called omega-9 fatty acids, which tune the body to work properly, in which fat is converted to energy as quickly as possible.
A pineapple
Nutritionists have long known the fat burning properties of pineapple, which breaks down fats thanks to an enzyme called bromelain, which actively dulls hunger. And although scientists still have not come to a consensus on this substance, pineapple should still be included in this list, since its fibrous, rough structure creates a load on the stomach associated with the digestion of fiber. This gives a feeling of long saturation and helps to maintain a normal metabolic rate.
The “minuses” of pineapple include its acidity, because of which it can not be consumed by people with heartburn and ulcers.
Lemons
Lemons help the liver to cleanse, and this contributes to weight loss, because the liver is the body that is responsible for burning and converting fat.
Coconut
Coconut contains medium chain triglyceride, which increases metabolic processes in the liver by 20-30%, which allows you to feel full for a long time. Coconut flour, milk and butter improve thyroid function.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit is the most "vitamin" of all citrus fruits, in which the content of ascorbic acid is already off scale, and vitamin C improves muscle performance. In addition, grapefruit perfectly breaks down fats and accelerates metabolic processes, so only 150 g of grapefruit per day has a simply amazing effect in the fight against excess weight.
By the way, if you consume grapefruit, do not forget, then it is incompatible with a number of oral contraceptives and antidepressants.
Whole wheat bread
Whole grain bread contains useful fibers and seeds - products that are indispensable in the fight against excess weight. Such a product will be an excellent basis for sandwiches and an additional source of healthy carbohydrates.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables include all kinds of lettuce, radishes, celery (by the way, Dr. Adams considers it to be his most effective slimming vegetable), peas, cabbage (broccoli and white cabbage, Savoy, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts).
These foods contain a lot of fiber, complex carbohydrates and protein - rough foods that the body will digest for a long time, while their nutritional value is low. They are processed at high energy costs, and they are digested for a long time, giving a long-lasting feeling of satiety, i.e., these are typical products with a negative calorie content. That is why they must be included in the diet of a strict diet, so that metabolism is carried out at an optimal rate, as well as in a complete diet to control weight. But do not forget that the calorie level of these vegetables depends on how they are cooked.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes contain ascorbic acid and phytochemical lycolin, and also help to produce the amino acid L-carnitine, which speeds up the burning of fats several times.
Garlic
Garlic does not affect weight loss, but at the same time, it does not contribute to an increase in a kilogram. It is included in diets, rather, as a good seasoning, able to diversify the diet, and in addition, it is an excellent immunomodulator and anti-inflammatory product that allows you to maintain an organism weakened by diet.
Please note: garlic should not be consumed for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and heart problems.
Dairy products
Daily use of non-fat fermented milk products (natural yogurt, yogurt, kefir and cottage cheese with 0% fat content) provide calcium into the body and increase the production of calcitriol - one of the most important hormones. And calcium, in turn, activates the process of burning fat, simultaneously reducing the amount of those that enter the body.
Honey
Sugar should be replaced with honey, because it does not harm health, being a source of the most valuable vitamin-mineral complex. It also speeds up metabolism, helps the body recover, and this is very important for the body, exhausted by the diet.
Honey should be consumed in small doses not exceeding 2 tsp. per day, and also used as a component of drinks based on honey and ginger, lemon and mint.
Please note: honey is a strong allergen, therefore it should not be consumed by people who are allergic to beekeeping products and pollen of flowers.
Green tea and mate
Green tea and mate are natural antioxidants, diet drinks. They are harmless to the body, contribute to the separation of bile, have tonic properties. And as antioxidants, they help maintain skin and hair in good condition, while maintaining good tone.
Green and black coffee
Green and black coffee - drinks containing caffeine that boosts metabolism. And, despite the fact that caffeine is much less in green coffee than in black, it has more chlorogenic acid in it, and, as you know, it helps to keep your appetite in check. Also, coffee has the properties of an antioxidant, the use of which tones and reduces weight.
But, if you practice a coffee diet, exclude garlic from the menu, as these products are incompatible (they have a double burden on the heart).
These foods do not exhaust the list of wholesome foods, but they are the foundation on which nutritionists build their diets and nutrition programs. The main thing is to apply them correctly, according to the advice, otherwise they will not bring benefits.
In addition to proper nutrition, a weight loss program should include physical activity - a combination of these two factors will not only allow you to lose weight quickly, but also create a beautiful figure, without fat deposits in "problem" places.
