We all know that they key to losing fat and becoming lean is to eat less calories than we are burning. It doesn't matter whether you are eating burgers and ice cream all day or a diet based solely on fruits, as long as you have a calorie deficit you will lose weight. Obviously there is a large difference in the way you will lose the weight and by eating unhealthy foods you will lose mostly muscle and have unhealthy organs.

A great way in which you can make it more manageable to eat less calories than you burn is to increase the amounts of calories you burn throughout the day. One of the easiest ways to do this is to do cardio or perform activities throughout the day, however you don't always have time for these activities and therefore you should also eat food groups that will naturally boost your metabolism.

One of the best things you can supplement your diet with is green tea. Green tea is not only healthy for your body, but it will also boost your metabolism immensely. If you don't like the taste of green tea, you can buy the green tea extract pills and eating 2-3 of those pills a day is the equivalent of having almost 20 cups of green tea. Another great fruit you can eat is grape, especially in the morning before you do anything else. Make sure you eat vinegar on most of your meals as vinegar will also boost your metabolism sky high and make sure you just melt those stubborn fat cells away.

Boosting your metabolism however, is not all that matters and another factor that is important is to have pretty steady levels of insulin levels. When you have steady levels of insulin you avoid getting really large sugar cravings and your body works a lot better. One of the best regulators of your insulin levels is without a doubt cinnamon and you can pretty much use it on most of your meals. As an added bonus it actually tastes fantastic while having a really nice smell to it.

Also make sure you drink a lot of water throughout the day and avoid getting dehydrated. Getting a lot of water will also help you feel more full and once again is a great aid in your battle against unhealthy foods.
