What you're about to discover are the most powerful fat burning foods you should eat that jump start metabolism causing weight loss the Club Body way.

Your weight won't magically disappear overnight, but by including these foods in your daily diet, you will soon notice a considerable weight loss especially around the belly area.

There are several strong fat burning foods and drinks that appear to jump start the metabolic rate and they include...

Protein Foods

By eating high levels of protein will cause a considerable speeding in the metabolism rate. But be careful, don't just rely solely on a high protein diet as it can cause damage to the liver and kidneys.

Also, high-protein eating is not a balanced diet and thus the nutrients found in other food types may be in shortfall. Red meat and low fat dairy products contain CLA (a fatty acid) which has been proved to increase lean tissue in the body and therefore increasing metabolic rate thus burning fat quicker.

Spices

Especially chillies, have been shown to increase the metabolic rate by up to a staggering 50% - an effect that lasts for up to three hours after consumption of chillies. The main cause for this is because the heart rate increases when spices are eaten.

There have been several clinical research studies that have proven this. Spices are good for the health in many other ways, so this is one metabolism-boosting trick and fat burner you can use without guilt!

Caffeine

Drinks that contain caffeine boost the metabolism by initiating the nervous system's flight response and levels of adrenaline, which increases the heart rate and "fidget factor". Fidgety people tend to be thinner because they burn food quicker.

Caffeine equivalent to 2.5 cups of coffee can also increase endurance during moderate exercise. Coffee and coca-colas are two of the drinks highest in caffeine. However stop drinking coffee, after your third of fourth cup, as it is not recommended due to the adverse health effects.

Caffeine can also be found in tea, chocolate and other soft drinks.

Green Tea

Green tea is not only a powerful antioxidant and great detoxifier, but interestingly enough green tea also appears to increase the metabolism without increasing the heart rate causing food to burn quicker.

Studies have shown that people who drank green tea regularly burned significantly more fat than people who didn't.

Bonus Tip

To jump start metabolism rate: Include some form of Club Body exercise along with these strong fat burning foods and drinks, whether it is brisk walking, swimming or jogging but remember that the first 20 minutes you're burning more carbohydrates than fat so make sure you exercise beyond the 20 minutes so that you begin to increase the amount of fat you burn!
