What do you know about fat burning foods?(PART 1)

To lose your weight you have to burn more calories than you consume,this can be done by 2ways together:
1.The first one is to eat negative calorie foods or fat burning foods.
2.The second way is to activate yourself by some daily exercise in the form of walking,running....,..(not less than 20 to 30 minutes daily).
WHAT IS FAT BURNING FOODS?They are foods that burn more calories than the calorie content of the food itself.
The fat burning foods fall into 7basic groups:
1.Citrus group:This group is rich in vitamin C,examples of citrus food;lemon,orange,guava,tangerines and grapefruit. Vitamin C dilutes fats and so it reduces fat's effectivness then releases fats from the body .So try to add lemon to water or increase your intake of citrus juices and fruits.
2.Vegetables and fruits rich in cellulose:This group includes..carrots,broccli,cabbage, asparagus,watermelon,
apple,blueberries.This group will give you a feeling of fullness causing you to eat small quantities at regular meals,also this group will reduce cholestrol,for example apple is rich in pectin which restricts the cells to absorb fat and encourages water absorption which helps to exit fat deposits from the body.
Also banana is rich in potassium which boosts metabolism and regulates the body's water balance,soybean also rich in lecithin which protects cells from fat accumulation.

other groups will be in part 2 tomorrow.
