How many times you have been instructed to avoid fatty foods because they make you fat, or other non-fatty foods because they stimulate fat storage? Well, you may have heard of the following foods before, or maybe they're your favorite but you have been told to stay away from them because they are "unhealthy".
It's your lucky day because I am about to prove that these labeled "unhealthy" foods actually stimulate fat loss.
1. Dark chocolate:
Chocolate bars that are rich in cacao are actually good for your health, as they contain a lot of fibers. But most importantly dark chocolate contain a very powerful antioxidant called theobromine, which is proven to strengthen your heart, and lower blood pressure.
What you should be looking for is a chocolate that is high in cacao (70% or more) as the more cacao it has the richer it is in fiber, and the less sugar it contains.
2. Whole eggs:
Yes! You should eat the egg yolk too. Since day one of my fitness Journey I have heard trainees, mentors, and basically everyone who tries to give me advice on my diet, say that I should only eat the egg white as the egg yolk contains high portions of fat.
Unfortunately, you have only heard the negative side of the story as egg yolk contains 90% of all the vitamins and minerals in the egg, as well as all the essential fatty acids.
However, those benefits are only present in organic free-range eggs as the chicken that lay them roam freely and eat naturally compared to the grocery store eggs coming from chicken that are fed soy and corn and kept indoor 24/7.
3. Nuts: Almonds, pistachios, macadamias, Cashews... etc.
Those are actually my favorite snack. Nuts are rich in monounsaturated fats (the good fat), along with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They also contain a good share of protein and fiber which are good for stimulating fat as you know.
Not only that but nuts can maintain a good level of fat burning hormones in your body, and aid to control appetite, and cravings so you generally have a lower calorie intake even though they are calorie dense themselves.
Other than having nuts as a snack, you can use them as appetizers (or more likely unappetizers) 30 minutes before a meal so you'll feel full faster when you go to eat. This way, you end up consuming less calories overall.
There you go, Now you have a good reason to include nuts and whole eggs in your diet. These foods are good for your health so don't exclude them totally off your diet, but instead consume them in moderation.
