How to Burn Fat: Eat More Fat!

It’s a common misconception that in order to get rid of fat, you need to definitely eat less fats. AQ Fitness wants to BUST THAT MYTH! Eating fats is essential for your body to access and burn those fat stores, often in the form of adipose tissue, that have collected on your body over time. The more unsaturated fat you consume in your diet, the less likely you are to consume carbohydrates to stave off your hunger. Carbohydrates are quickly digested through insulin spikes in the blood stream, and are converted in to glucose and stored as fat in the body. Unsaturated fat, however, activates fat burning metabolic pathways in the liver, enabling the body to burn its stores of adipose tissue. We recommend the following foods to boost your caloric intake from unsaturated fat:

Nut butters such as peanut, almond and cashew butter

Fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Eggs with the yolk (in moderation)

Avocados

Fill up your plate with healthy fats and reduce your caloric intake from carbohydrates to SHED THAT FAT.
