Fat Burning and Muscle Building Cardio

By Caleb Lee

Cardio can be a great fat burning and muscle building exercise to lose extra fat; however, it has to be done right.

Here is an explanation of some fat burning muscle building foods.

These foods are not expensive. You can even choose to grow them yourself in a garden. Yup, all they are are fruits and vegetables.

Let's start with fruits. Fruits, like lemons, limes, apples, blueberries, and watermelons are the best example of fruits that will help you lose weight. They contain large amounts of Vitamin C and low calories, which will help in burning fat without adding more into your body with high calorie count. They also are very acidic, which will help you to break down some of the harder fats, while also helping your digestive system break down other foods. Vegetables are the other fat burners, like cabbage, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, and asparagus.

The property making them all good fat burner foods is that they have cellulose, a low in calorie substance that is broken down in your digestive system and targets fat, along with the Vitamin C.

By eating these, you might feel less energetic; however, your body will soon learn that it must resort to another source. It will then turn to the stored fat. Stored fat is the fat that is not fast burning and hard to lose. Your body will use this and any other fat to compensate for the calorie loss, and help regain your energy.

Exercise is also important to helping out these foods. Exercise will boost the metabolism, creating a faster flow of these foods, burning fat faster.

Fruits and vegetables are natural fat burning muscle building foods you can eat to lose weight and gain muscle. - 16004
