So a good starting point for all fat burning diets is drinking water.

Fat burning diets should be rich in lean protein such as chicken and turkey. They should also contain lots of complex carbohydrates such as pasta and rice. They should also contain healthy fats such as the ones you will get by eating salmon and mackerel. People think that my eliminating fats from there diets they will lose weight at a much faster rate. How wrong could they be, healthy fats are needed and help to regulate your metabolism. A good fat burning diet should have a ratio of 40% protein 50% carbs and 10% fat. Remember to drink lots of water evenly spaced out throughout the day when eating a diet high in lean protein. Don’t allow yourself to get dehydrated because not only is this dangerous to your health but your workouts will suffer as a result of this as well.
