Experts say there are two basic categories of foods that can be considered fat burning foods because they fill the tummy without piling on the calories: fruits and vegetables. And what nutrient gives fruits and vegetables that power? Fiber.

So, if fruits and vegetables are called the fat burning food, fiber may well be the fat burning nutrient. Protein is another best fat burning food. It's becoming more scientifically accepted that protein may help to curb appetite.

In order for the body to burn fat faster, we need a metabolism boost. And that's what protein can do quite well. There is one drawback, however. Too much protein adds more weight. Be careful, we want to lose weight, not gain weight.

The following list of fat burning foods includes smart, low-calorie choices that will benefit our weight loss efforts.

1. Green tea. Researchers have found that green tea has catechins - phytochemicals that enhance weight loss by forcing the body to burn more calories and shed off body fat. Enjoy your drink!

2. Broth- or tomato-based soups. Soups can help reduce hunger before meals and increase feeling of fullness.

3. Low-calorie green salads. Having a low-calorie salad which is not loaded with croutons, high fat dressings, and cheese as a first course can help us feel full, thereby reducing how much we eat with our main course. Wisely choose the ingredients, and its high fiber content can be the key to helping us fight cravings later in the day.

4. Low-fat yogurt. Including dairy products as part of a healthy diet may promote our weight loss efforts. Choosing a light yogurt may help fight off hunger pangs due to its combination of protein and carbohydrate.

5. Beans. Beans have fiber and protein and the best part of all, eating beans is filling. Navy, Pinto, Lima, Black Eye are all common beans.

6. Not just water, but your lifeline. Water is highly important to your body. You must drink water, like it or not. And you can always spice it up. Have you ever considered placing a couple of sliced peaches or oranges in your water? The most commonly used are lemon, limes or unsweetened flavor packets. The more you drink, the more your body loves you.

Water also flushes unwanted toxins produced in the body. And when your stomach start crying out, drink a glass of water. Just think, a glass of water could save you from rummaging in that fridge and cabinets. Your body will thank you for that.

7. High-fiber, whole-grain cereal. To some it tastes like cardboard but high-fiber, whole-grain cereal will give your body a jump start. Don't knock it until you try. Whole grains help enhance fiber and your daily nutritional intake. No time for breakfast? A bowl of cereal will get the job done.

Give this fat burning foods list a try, you will be surprised.
