Food that make you burn more calories

Basically, this soup is just cabbage with whatever vegetables you want to add for flavor, but you can find a recipe on the internet if you want. I wouldn't recommend the diet itself because it is completely unhealthy, but the soup isn't too bad for a low cal, fat burning meal. I recommend eating this soup once a day, especially when you know your other meals will be fatty.

Concentrate on including these foods in your nutrition plan. a) Fruit with an excellent Thermogenic/Carbohydrate Ratio include: Apples, Blueberries, Grapefruit, Peaches, Strawberries vs. Inferior Thermogenic Effect Fruits: Bananas, Dried Fruit, Raisins, etc., Watermelon b) Thermogenic Vegetables: Asparagus, Broccoli, Cabbage, Celery, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Onions, Radishes, Spinach, Tomatoes c) Almost all proteins have a desirable thermogenic effect EXCEPT: proteins that are very high in fat, processed lunch meats, and processed proteins :big_smile: -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

This does not enclude apple sauce, most has lots of bad sugar, added. -------------- "Get everthing you want--just make a little change now" "The thing you have to realize is that you have to work for it,"

Cooked broccoli doesn't have the same thermogenic effect as a nice raw floret. I don't cook my vegetables at all now. Try it you can get used to it and make it 'normal'
