Weekly Training Article | Simple Fat-Burning Foods | 1/10/11-1/16/11

You probably know all the typical "heathly foods" that you always eat, so I am not going to bore you. Instead, I'm going to talk about 3 simple foods that will shock most of you and probably don't realize they're super foods for fat loss.

1. Egg Yolks

Yes, that's correct ... those full fatty egg yolks with all of their fat and cholesterol. By the way, you've been mislead about the cholesterol in egg yolks -- it actually raises your GOOD cholesterol and helps balance proper ratios, so don't be afraid of the fat and cholesterol in these little nutrition power-packed gems. And if you choose cage-free eggs from free roaming hens, the omega-3 content is higher with a more balanced fat profile.

Egg yolks are also one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet in terms of vitamins, minerals and trace nutrients. You don't want to leave out the egg yolks. Even the protein is more biologically available when you include the yolks!

2. Avocados

This is yet another "fatty food" that is also one of the best fat-burning foods available! Not only that, but avocados make just about everything creamier and more delicious, and are easy to store and prepare. They are also power-packed with healthy fats, fiber and antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals. The healthy fat in avocados also helps control appetite and fat-burning hormones in your body.

Try adding avocado slices or guacamole to everything from morning eggs to salads, sandwiches and burgers. I would definitely consider avocados one of the best healthy super foods.

3. Grass Fed/Free Range Organic Beef, Buffalo or Bison

While most live stock you see at the grocery store is grain fed beef from cattle that are in poor health, and have lower nutrition values and omega-6 to omega-3 fat ratios that are far out of whack, there is a better option: Grass-Fed or Free Range Organic Beef, buffalo or bison!

Grass-Fed or Free Range Organic Beef, buffalo or bison are known to have much higher levels of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and lower omega-6 fats (which most people get too much of, anyway). Grass-Fed or Free Range Organic Beef, buffalo or bison also contain higher levels of many vitamins and minerals, as well as high levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a healthy fat that is known to help muscle building and fat burning.

So don't be afraid to live it up a little and eat more beef, buffalo or bison, as long as you choose healthy Grass-Fed or Free Range.

Enjoy, and start burning more body fat with these so called "fatty" foods!

Don't be lazy, be lean.
