I dont eat carbs at dinner or after anymore & its like my body says.. oh well I guess we better tap into burning fats because its going to be a while before breakfast. Ya know what I mean?

So I started a step class up down up down 110 mph lol. But I liked it the leg kicks and knee raise is good for my heart, good for burning fat, good for working my abs. So I will do the step class with the twists the spins, the hip rolls, all the sassy dance moves. I even talked my brother into joining the class. He said he would join to watch me embarrass myself lol. I must say I do pretty well in that class for a guy haha…   

1 Oatmeal  

A recent study found that in addition to lowering cholesterol, eating oatmeal can also be part of a weight loss plan. The results of the study found that people who ate a bowl of Quaker Instant Oatmeal Weight Control as part of an overall reduced calorie weight loss plan, which included walking, lost significant amounts of weight and body fat when compared to control subjects who only exercised.
2 Leafy Greens

Spinach, spring mix, mustard greens, and other dark leafy greens are good sources of fiber and powerhouses of nutrition. Research demonstrates that their high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants helps prevent hunger while protecting you from heart disease, cancer, cataracts, and memory loss.
3 Olive Oil

Choosing extra virgin olive oil as your main source of dietary fat, combined with eating a healthy diet that is high in plant foods, may reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Research has shown moderate amounts of olive oil may also reduce abdominal fat, if eaten as part of a diet high in plant foods.

4 Garlic

Garlic contains the compound allicin which has anti-bacterial effects and helps reduce unhealthy fats and cholesterol. In laboratory tests on rats, researchers found that garlic prevents weight gain and might even lead to weight loss.
5 Tomatoes

Packed with vitamin C and the phytochemical lycopene, tomatoes stimulate the production of the amino acid known as carnitine. Research has shown that carnitine helps speed the body’s fat-burning capacity by one-third.
6 Nuts

Raw, unsalted nuts provide your body with essential fatty acids that help burn fat. Their high nutrient content also lowers the risk of heart attack by 60 percent.
7 Cayenne

This hot spice lessens the risk of excess insulin in the body by speeding metabolism and lowering blood sugar levels before the excess insulin can result in fat storage.
8 Turmeric

Turmeric contains the highest known source of beta carotene, the antioxidant that helps protect the liver from free radical damage. It also helps your liver heal while helping your body metabolize fats by decreasing the fat storage rate in liver cells.
9 Cinnamon

Researchers found that adding a quarter to one teaspoon of cinnamon with food helps metabolize sugar up to twenty times better than food not eaten with cinnamon. Excess sugar in the blood can lead to fat storage.
10 Flax Seeds

These seeds and oil attract oil-soluble toxins that become lodged in the fatty tissues of the body. Once attracted, they help to escort fat-soluble toxins out. That spells fewer fat stores and a trimmer you.
11 Apples

The skin of apples contains pectin, an insoluble fiber that serves as nature’s own appetite suppressant.
12 Beans

High-fiber beans such as chickpeas, lima beans, and kidney beans make you feel fuller longer so you eat less and temper those unnatural cravings.
13 Dairy

Eating 3 to 4 daily servings of dairy, such as low- or nonfat milk, cheese, and yogurt may help burn more fat by shifting energy stored in fat cells to working muscles, according to a recent study. Not only will it help get rid of old fat cells, but it’ll make it easier to keep the weight off for good!
14 Green Tea

Studies show that green tea extract boosts metabolism and may aid in weight loss. This mood-enhancing tea has also been reported to contain anti-cancer properties and help prevent heart disease.
15 Grapefruit

Researchers found that participants who ate half a grapefruit with each meal in a 12-week period lost an average of 3.6 pounds. The study indicates that the unique chemical properties in this vitamin C-packed citrus fruit reduce insulin levels, which promotes weight loss
16 Broccoli

Study after study links calcium and weight loss. Broccoli is not only high in calcium but it’s also loaded with vitamin C which boosts calcium absorption. This member of the nutritious cabbage family also has plenty of vitamin A, folate and fiber. And, at just 20-calories per cup, this weight loss superfood not only fights fat but also contains powerful phytochemicals that boost your immunity and protect against disease.
17 Lean Chicken Turkey and Tuna

Countless studies have shown that protein can help boost metabolism, lose fat and build lean muscle tissue so you burn more calories. A 3-ounce serving of boneless, skinless lean turkey breast weighs in at 120 calories and provides 26 grams of appetite-curbing protein, 1 gram of fat and 0 grams of saturated fat.
