  • Tangerines, limes, papaya, grapefruit, oranges, guava, tomatoes, celery

  • It supports Carnitine metabolism in our bodies, which helps us to burn free fatty acids (fatty acid shuttle) in our mitochondria.

• Cayenne and Curry and Green Tea have thermogenic properties, as well.
  • Green Tea in trials has documented fat burning (thermogenic) activity.

  • Apple-pectin reduce fat cells ability to absorb fat
  • Leafy greens, arugula, & lettuce
  • Watermelon
  • Cabbage reduces conversion of sugars and carbohydrates into fats.
  • Omega 3 fatty acids enhance the bodies fat burning activities
  • Omega 3 fatty acids reduce insulin resistance
  • Omega 7 oils (newcomer to the party), known as Palmitoleic acid. Purified forms dramatically improve insulin resistance, which can help a pre-diabetic and type-II diabetic. Also aids your ability to burn sugar and fats much more efficiently.
