Believe it or not, there are foods that you can eat that will increase the amount of fat your burn, and that, along with exercise, can turn help you burn fat more efficiently. Try adding these foods to your daily diet for best results.
1. Green Tea
Full of beneficial antioxidants and something called epigallocatechin gallate, green tea can boost metabolism and aid in burning fat. Be careful about the caffeine.
2. Grapefruit
Start your meals with half a grapefruit to take advantage of the fat burning effects and boost your weight loss.
3. Cinnamon
This spice helps thin the blood, boosts body heat, and burns calories and fat when added to your food. Try making a tea with hot water, lemon and cinnamon with a little honey to help it all go down.
4. Berries
Great as an anti-inflammatory and full of resveratrol which boosts metabolism and aids in weight loss. They’re also low in calories, so eat plenty too.
5. Steel cut oats
These will fill you up and provide the fibre your body may need. Half a cup per day will be enough to fill you up and provide excellent fat burning properties.
6. Nuts and Seeds
Full of good fats, nuts can fill you up, give you added nutrition and improve satiety. Be careful, though; nuts are high in fat. One handful a day is plenty. Seeds like flax, sunflower, and hemp are lower in fat, high in Omega 3s and 6s and super good for you.
7. Hot Peppers
Add hot spices to everything you eat and watch the pounds melt away. The added heat produced with hot sauce and hot peppers increases metabolism during and after your meal.
8. Leafy Greens
You can eat a lot of leafy greens without ever having to worry about how much you’re eating. Prepare them with some balsamic vinegar and shredded carrots and they’ll taste amazing. Aim to eat plenty of leafy greens each day as these are one of best fat burning foods.
9. Fatty Fruit
Coconut, olives and avocado are really good foods to eat that will not only fill you up, but also give you added nutrition and healthy fats which will curb hunger and fill you up on fewer calories.
10. Beans and Legumes
You can eat a lot more beans and legumes than you might think. They are high in protein and other essential nutrients.
