Citrus fruits like, oranges and limes contain high concentrations of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This Vitamin C has a fat burning quality. Vitamin C reduces the effectiveness of fat. It reduces its content and can liquefy or dilute fat. By diluting the fat, it makes it less effective, and easier to flush out of your system. Vitamin C also works on cholesterol deposits. By adding Citrus Fruits to your daily diet, you will greatly increase your metabolism, increase your ability to get rid of fat, and also control your cholesterol levels.



Add applesauce (it's loaded with pectin), apples, fresh fruit and berries, to your diet and let the power of pectin pulverize the fat that accumulates on your cells. An apple a day can help keep the fat away.



Cucumbers are usually used in many salads, besides tasting great their high water content adds to your bulk hence making you feel full. They can be consumed before every meal which will greatly help you from over-eating.



Berries contain a chemical call pectin. Pectin limits the amount of fat your cells can absorb. This will put a natural limitation on the amount of fat your cells can absorb. Pectin, once in your system, has a water binding property, it absorbs watery substances, and these watery substances in turn bombards the cells and makes it release fat deposits.



Garlic oil or the juice of garlic has a significant protective quality to cells which help to reduce fatty deposits. When taken, it brings down the levels of fat. Garlic, garlic oil, or anything with garlic, also has an antibiotic property to it and can be used to cure many ailments.



Breakfast cereals are typically heavily processed foods, and most of their original micronutrients, like vitamins or minerals, are removed during the food-processing. However, most breakfast cereals are fortified with added vitamins and minerals, making them a convenient source of most B-vitamins, vitamin D and several minerals including iron. Wholegrain breakfast cereals (eg. granola, muesli, oats) are typically rich in natural B-vitamins, soluble fiber (which helps to lower cholesterol) and have a lower GI-value than regular refined cereals.

In a weight loss diet it's indicated to eat "negative calories food". They are called this way because they need to burn fats in order to be metabolized.

There are 3 classes of "negative calories food":
- fruits: as you well said especially those with pectin or vitamin C, like berries, mango, pineapples (help digestion and it's also great as anti cellulite diet), apples (rich in soluble fibers), citrus fruits (rich in antioxidants), grapefruits (lower cholesterol level).

- vegetables: carrots, cucumbers, anions, broccoli, cabbages, cauliflowers, asparagus, celery, spinach. These contain 90% water, few proteins and carbohydrates, no fats, but are rich in minerals and vitamins. For example 100 gr broccoli contain 25 calories but need 80 calories for their digestion.

- condiments and spices: garlic (a natural antibiotic and hypo tensor),
sage, basil, parsley, thyme, cloves, mint. They have a refreshing action\ and help burning the surplus fat.

For loosing weight it's indicate also:
- to eat food rich in fibers, which give the sensation of satiety and are very poor in calories,
- to drink a lot of water,
- to have three important meals and also to 2 snaks consisting in fruits, yogurt, vegetables that combat hunger as carrots, cucumbers, green salad.
