It might sound a bit obscure, but your body houses two kinds of fat – yellow and brown. Yellow fat is what obese people have, it act as an insulator and store house of those excess and unused calories. Brown fat is one that burns those excess brown fat or unused calories. If you have got enough brown fat in your body, you might be eating anything and everything at any given time and still not gaining a pound.

The good news is there are many natural remedies that one can use to accelerate the fat burning. It is obviously no substitute to exercise, without exercising there is no way possible of losing weight.

· Magnesium rich leafy green vegetables are known to kick off the fat
   burning process in the body.

· Ginger and cinnamon were often used in Chinese medication as well
   as Ayurveda as they break down body fat.

· Green Tea and White Tea – They have high level of antioxidants which
   speeds up the metabolism rate and thus converting yellow fat into brown
   fat.

· Food that contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 are another such food that
   activates brown fat. Omega-3 is present in tuna, salmon, cod, leafy greens
   as well as sprouts. Omega-6 is mostly found in nuts, flaxseed, walnuts, etc.
