Fat burning power foods
One easy way to lose fat is to make healthy eating automatic. The way I achieved that was by first memorizing a list of fat-burning foods. Now I shop and eat primarily from that list.
In this post I'll tell you what I consider to be the best fat-burning foods. I'll even give you a cool way to remember what they are!

The list I shop from is the "Abs Diet" fat-burning Power Foods list (see below). I suggest you write down and memorize this list. Then when you grocery shop, make sure to get as many items from the list as you can.
You may have heard of the Abs Diet. It's a book and diet written by fitness author David Zinczenko that explains hows to get a flatter stomach by eating the "12 Power Foods". These are foods that help your body burn fat naturally.
It's simple, really. Here's what I do:
1) Include two of the power foods in every meal; and
2) eat five or six small meals a day instead of three big meals. (This spreads out the calories so they burn more completely and don't turn to fat as easily.)
The Power Foods List
Zinczenko created the acronym "ABS DIET POWER" as an aid for remembering the Power Foods list. Here is the list:
The 12 Power Foods
- Almonds, and other nuts
- Beans, and other legumes
- Spinach, and other green vegetables
- Dairy (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese)
- Instant Oatmeal (unsweetened, unflavored)
- Eggs
- Turkey, and other lean meats
- Peanut butter
- Olive oil
- Whole grain breads and cereals
- Extra-protein (whey) powder
- Raspberries, and other berries
As you can see, the first letter of each food item spells out the phrase "ABS DIET POWER". Say this phrase out loud five times right now: Abs Diet Power, Abs Diet Power, Abs Diet Power, Abs Diet Power, Ab Diet Power. Do it again in a few minutes, and then repeat it again later. If you can remember "Abs Diet Power" when you get to the grocery store then you're halfway to remembering the list!
