- Are you trying to get rid of that extra weight that just won’t go away? Diet and exercising are keys to weight loss.
- Losing weight is more about eating smart and eating the right portions.
- By eating the right foods, you can trick your fat into burning itself.
- As seen on Dr. Oz here is a revolutionary plan that will let you eat delicious foods while losing weight at the same time.
- 1. Eat monounsaturated fats
- Monounsaturated fats, also known as MUFA’s are unlike most fats.
- According to the American Heart Association, they can provide health benefits when they are used to replace trans fats and saturated fats: “Monounsaturated fats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels in your blood and lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. They also provide nutrients to help develop and maintain your body’s cells. Monounsaturated fats are also typically high in vitamin E, an antioxidant vitamin most Americans need more of.”
- MUFA’s are found in delicious foods like olive oil, coconut oil, almonds, cashews, nut butters, and dark chocolate.
- A study from the American Diabetes Association showed that MUFA’s actually prevented belly fat from building up. Another study from the American Diabetes Association showed that MUFA’s also may help decrease the risk of type-2 diabetes.
- “To put MUFAs to work on your belly fat, eat a MUFA-rich food with every meal and make sure that 50% of the fat calories you eat in a day come from MUFAs,” says Dr. Oz.
- Here are the portions he recommends:
• A quarter of an avocado
• 10 olives
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of nuts
• 2 tablespoons of nut butter
• A quarter cup of dark chocolate chips
- 2. Eat polyunsaturated fats
- Polyunsaturated fats, or PUFA’s, are also healthy fats.
- They can be found in foods such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, pine nuts, and sunflower seeds.
- PUFAs are believed to help boost metabolism, break down fats, and lower cholesterol.
- A study published in a journal called Diabetes showed that polyunsaturated fats boosted weight loss in obese women.
- “To get maximum benefit, include at least two PUFA-rich foods into your meals every day,” Dr. Oz recommends. Let’s look at some examples:
• 3 ounces of fish
• Organic seaweed snacks
• A shot glass worth of pine nuts
• 1 ounce of sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons of sunflower seed oil
- 3. Try alpha-cyclodextrin (FBCx)
- Alpha-cyclodextrin is a new fiber supplement that is starting to get the attention of health experts. It works by trapping bad fats in the stool and prevents the body from absorbing them. “This translates to way fewer calories and could even help protect your heart from the damaging effects of bad fats like saturated fat. Plus, FBCx has also been shown to reduce blood sugar spikes after a carb-heavy meal,” Dr. Oz explains.
- Oz also recommends to use FBCx only when you have had a fatty meal, and not to take more than 2 grams a few times a week.
- Please consult your health practitioner as always before taking it.
- As you know we do not like promoting medications or many supplements. Proceed with caution.
