Burning more fat and boosting your metabolism just got a little easier (and tastier). Your body uses calories to digest all foods, but the following foods require more calories to digest. The benefit for you is that you burn more calories and fat simply by eating these foods.

Lean Turkey. The protein in lean cuts of turkey can boost your metabolism, helping you lose fat and build muscle tissue which in turn burns calories. Choose boneless, skinless cuts of turkey and avoid processed deli varieties.

Oatmeal. This nutritious breakfast staple provides you with cholesterol-fighting, soluble fiber. Eating oatmeal makes you feel full longer and gives you energy that lasts throughout the day. For the maximum amount of soluble fiber, choose steel cut or rolled oats and avoid instant oatmeal, which typically has less fiber and added sugar.

Grapefruit. This fat-burning powerhouse regulates your body?s insulin levels and also helps your body break down other foods more effectively while controlling your appetite. Grapefruit is also capable of dissolving fat and cholesterol. Ask your doctor before adding grapefruit to your daily diet since it may make some medications less effective.

Apples. A delicious snack for any time of the day, apples are a great source of soluble fiber, which slowly raises your blood sugar levels and keeps them elevated longer than other foods, thereby controlling your appetite. Apples contain pectin, a chemical abundant in fresh fruit like berries and especially apples. Pectin manages your cells? fat absorption and combines with water to prompt cells to release more fat.

Broccoli. Calcium has long been associated with safe and effective weight loss. Broccoli is an excellent source of calcium as well as vitamin C which helps the body absorb calcium more efficiently. Broccoli is also a great source of vitamin A, folate, and fiber. Packed with vitamins, this low-calorie vegetable helps your body fight disease.

Low-Fat Yogurt. Dairy products can also help people lose weight. Dieters who eat 3 to 4 servings of dairy foods per day typically lose more weight than dieters on a restricted calorie diet alone. One serving of low-fat yogurt contains calcium and 12 grams of protein.

Soybeans. Soybeans are rich in a chemical called lecithin that protects cells from accumulating fat. The lecithin in soybeans can also help break down fatty deposits in the body.
