6 Nutrients For Faster Weight Loss


CALCIUM
How It Melts Fat:
 Calcium is a mineral that works in tandem with D to help you shed fat. Calcium is stored in fat cells, and the more calcium a fat cell has, the more fat that cell will release to be burned. Calcium also promotes weight loss by binding to fat in your GI tract, preventing some of it from getting absorbed into your bloodstream.

PROTEIN
How It Melts Fat: In addition to keeping hunger in check, regular doses of protein help to keep body composition—the amount of fat relative to muscle—in better proportion. It also helps you to preserve muscle mass as you drop pounds. 

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
How It Melts Fat: Omega-3s enable weight loss by switching on enzymes that trigger fat-burning in cells. They also help to boost mood, which may help reduce emotional eating. And omega 3s might improve leptin signaling in the brain, causing the brain to turn up fat burning and turn down appetite. Fatty fish like salmon (which are also high in D) are one of the richest sources of this fat. Other foods, such as some nuts and seeds, contain a type of fat that can be converted into omega-3s after ingestion.

MONOUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS (MUFA)
How It Melts Fat: MUFAs are a type of fat found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocados, peanut butter, and chocolate, and they have just one chemical bond. A diet that includes 20 percent of its calories from MUFAs improved 24-hour calorie burning by 0.1 percent and fat burning by 0.04 percent after 6 months. Other research shows that MUFAs zero in on belly fat. Specific foods that are high in MUFAs have been shown to keep blood sugar steady and reduce appetite, too.

CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID (CLA)
How It Melts Fat: CLAs are potent fat burners that are found, along with D and calcium, in dairy products. CLA helps blood glucose enter body cells, so CLA can be burned for energy and not stored as fat. CLA also helps to promote fat burning, especially in muscles, where the bulk of our calorie burning takes place.
