Fire Up That Metabolism With These Fat fighting Foods


Here are my top anti-immflamatory food choices for achieving that slim waistline. Some are rich in fiber which is the key to keeping your intestines working properly. And all are loaded with anti-immlamatory properties which will help you achieve maximum health!

My all time favorite fish with anti-inflammatory Omega 3 fats is Wild Alaskan Salmon.
Alternatives: Tuna, Trout, Herring, Sardines, Sablefish, Anchovies (on a cracker with lemon and and chili pepper..Delish!)

In the Nuts and Seeds category I choose raw Almonds as my top choice. A great anti-imflammatory fat that also gives great skin!
Alternatives: Sesame seeds

In the Beans and Legumes category I go for the Hummus, Lentils, and Chick Peas as my top choices.
Alternatives: Pinto Beans, Black Beans, Kidney Beans

In the Spicy Calorie-burning foods I reach for Chili Peppers for a sure way to get that metabolism fired up fast.
Alternatives: Chili powder and Cayenne Peppers. 

In the veggie category they must be anti-immlmatory and there are quite a few. My first choices are:
Spinach, Kale, Chard, Collards, Blue Green Algae, Spirulina, Root Vegetable Green such as Turnip Beets and Mustard
Alternatives: Broccoli, Bell Peppers Onion Garlic, Green or Red Cabbage, Wheat and Barley, Brussel Sprouts, <Parsley, Mint Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Rosemary> (Herbs)

For my Whole Grains choice I opt for Oats, which have plenty of fiber and antioxidants.
Alternatives: Barley and Buckwheat

My favorite Fruits for fat burning are Apples and Grapefruit.
Alternatives: Berries, Oranges, cherries, plums, prunes, pears, and peaches

I saved the best for last.....All of these are a favorite but if I had to choose I would say the winner is Avocado a vitamin E powerhouse! 
Alternatives: Olives, coconut, Acai
