Unless you live on a farm or your parents or someone else feeds you, you know you are responsible for buying your food you're going to eat.

If you are a child and your parents buy your food, then it may be hard to convince them to buy you these healthy foods if they not already are, but perhaps you can convince them if you become serious and perhaps print out a bunch of studies from a library convincing them to buy you good stuff or you may become sick. If you are a parent then it is your responsibility to buy the right health foods for your child, otherwise you are failing to feed them optimal levels of nutrition, and health risks are more likely.

So what are the best foods to buy in order to lose fat? Well quite simpley they are the most nutritious food, food which will leave you and your body statisfied from hunger, while improving pretty much every other area in your life including fatigue, depression, aches, and pain, obesity, as well as a host of other health problems.

The first step in losing fat, is always to have the right foods to feed your self, and here they are from most important to lease.

Vegetables are hands down the best food for you to eat to improve health and fat loss. There are to many health studdies to back this up, research them if you wish, but it is common knowledge now that if you wish to live for a long time, become sick less, have a better mood, be tired less, and think better then you ought to opt for a diet high in vegetables. Here are some of the best and why.

Broccoli, squash, eggplant, green beans, cauliflower, carrots, sweet potatoes are all excellent vegetable choices for fat loss including dark leafy green vegetables like romaine lettuce, spinach, ect. These vegetables are high in vitamins, nutrients, and fiber, which will feed your body all that it needs to become healthy while shedding excess body fat. You should try to eat your vegetables raw best, steamed second best, and cooked third. Cooking destroys some nutrients in the food. You should try to eat vegetables as many times a day as possible, but the absolute minimum should be once a day during your biggest meal.

Fruits are natures best dessert, and should be a huge part of any healthy diet. Forget what you heard about the excess sugar in them, sugar from fruit is not the bad kind of table sugar in soft drinks and other junk food. It is natural sugar full of nutrients that animals like humans evolved in using as a food source.
The carbs in most fruit sugar are also not the bad kind found in white pasta or bread. They are the low GI carbs which wont raise insulin levels.

The best fruits to eat are those full of antioxidants and other bennifical compounds that body uses to detoxify its self and help fight disease.

So what are the best fruits for fat loss?
blueberries, apples, raspberries, blackberries, apricots, are my personal favorits. But blueberries should be consumed almost every day to ensure maximum amount of antioxidant intake while you cut fat. Frozen blueberries are my favorite to add to my protein drinks, and they taste sweet and great.

If you are serious about health fat loss and fitness, then blueberries and apples should be part of your everyday diet, with other fruit mixed in as you wish. I recommend a bare minimum of one cup of blueberries a day for fat loss and health, as well as an apple.

Complex carbohydrates are long lasting energy sources our body can use hours after we eat them, while fruits sugar is usually broken down fast and the energy level doesn't last quite as long. Oatmeal and sweet potatoes are hands down the best choices to lose fat. Both are loaded with miconutrients and fiber, and both provide your body with energy for hours.
Still though, many find they can work just find eating more fruits/veggies, than complex carbs, so personal preference is a choice.

Protein is probably the most important nutrient to lose fat but also maintain lead body muscle mass while losing fat, which will result in a better body transformation.
Athletes who workout, train weights, or work a physical job need more protein than those who don't, because they often have micro tears in their muscle fibers and tissue from training, thus the body needs extra protein to repair them, and that's one reason why muscle becomes larger when you workout and start seeing changes in the mirror.

Not all protein is created equal, protein higher in saturated fat like cheese burgers, sausage, bacon, most red meat, is not always wise to eat while you're trying to lose fat. Its best to eat lean protein like fish, boneless skinless chicken breast, lean cuts of steak, eggs, other seafood ect.

There has been a lot of misunderstanding about fat in our diet, and it's role on being fat, and losing fat. The fact is now modern research knows there are good kinds of fats, and health foods full of fat that are both extremely healthy buy also help with fat loss.
These fats are usually found in fatty fish, walnuts, flax seed, olive oil, avocados, and other foods, and the majority of fats found in fish are the essential fatty acid kind (EFA's / OMEGA 3 fatty acids), which are required for us to eat to stay alive. EFA's are found in other foods like free range animals meat/fat, and walnuts / flax seed, but nothing beats good old fatty fish in the abundance of these good fats which help us lose fat.
