Rice and Potatoes Can Burn Fat!

Each of these three foods surprisingly do help you burn fat and have been clinically proven to promote weight loss. The basic aim of any food is to help your body burn away unhealthy pounds. If any food you try can stop you wanting junk food and can help your body work more efficiently then it will help with your fat burning aims.

Rice

You will probably be surprised to hear that an entire weight loss plan, called the Rice Diet, has been developed in the 30's by Dr. William Kemper. The diet insists that rice is the staple of the dieters food intake. As you progress with the diet you can slowly mix in various fruits and vegetables.

If you take a cup of cooked rice i.e. approximately 15 grams, it contains only 178 calories which works out to be one third of the calories of the equivalent amount to beef or cheese. Wholegrain rice is the one you should use as it is much better for you than white rice.

The use of rice in a diet produces amazing weight lose and great medical results. The rice diet has been shown to reverse and cure kidney ailments and high blood pressure.

Potatoes

Yes that's right the common and garden potato to help burn fat! The potato can achieve rapid weight loss as long as you do not add fattening toppings. Each potato on average contains 0.6 calories per gram. Potatoes are a great source of fibre and potassium, they lower cholesterol and protect against strokes and heart disease.

As you can see Rice and Potatoes are not bad for you as long as you only add low fat toppings of vegetable add-ons. You could always add the two together by having a baked potato with a vegetable rice side order.

im pretty thin but i have remaining fat on buttocks and waist that wont go away. Any specific type of exercise i can do to burn it off ?

Answer:

You can not target fat burn. Unless you do lipo ( which i do not recommend ). Key is diet diet, then exercise.

You need to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Eat some protein with each meal! Cut out all refined sugar!!! Also add more fiber. The fiber and protein will fill you up, helping you to cut down on your unhealthy eating. Also by eating more than 3 meals spread out through the day you will kick your metabolism in high gear. Here is a general meal for a day:

Breakfast: 2 poached eggs
whole wheat toast
1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Cottage Cheese with veggie

Lunch: Turkey, lettuce, tomato, whole wheat bread sandwich
1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Protein Shake

Dinner: Turkey Burger ( no bun )
Side of brown rice
Side of Broc.

Then exercise regularly 4-5 days a week. Do both cardio and lifting. But on days that you do both. Do lifting before your cardio and you will maximize your fat burn. Cardio can be a sport: basketball, soccer, football, anything with losts of movement. Golf is a no no.

So Example :

Monday - 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Tuesday - 1 hour lifting
Wednesday - Rest
Thrusday - 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
Friday - 1 hour lifting
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio
