Citrus FruitsCitrus fruits like grapefruit, oranges, lemons, limes and tangerines contain high amounts of Vitamin C (also called ascorbic acid). This Vitamin C has a fat burning quality.Vitamin C lowers the power of fat. It reduces its content and can dilute fat. By diluting the fat, it makes it is easier to flush it out of your body. Vitamin C also attacks cholesterol deposits. Vitamin C can help burn out the cholesterol, and by this makes it difficult for cholesterol deposits store in blood vessels.
Apples, Berries, Fresh FruitApples contain pectin. This chemical is contained too in most fresh fruits and berries.Pectin limits naturally the quantitiy of fat your cells can take in. Once in your body, it has a water binding effect. It attracts watery substances, and these in turn flush the cells and pulverize fat areas. Add apple sauce (it's loaded with pectin), fresh fruit like apples and berries to your diet and let the power of pectin melt the fat that is closed in your cells. You know of course the quote: "An apple a day can help keep the doctor away." In our case - "it keeps the fat away!"
