Fat-Burning Foods You Need To Try

If you want to get rid of fat, you can do it in several ways. You can exercise, diet, or create a combination of the two. Most people find that intense exercise combined with a healthy diet works well. Some foods are better than others when it comes to burning fat. Including those in your diet is beneficial. They may boost your metabolism, may be thermogenic, or contain nutrients that stimulate increased fat burning.

Start with omega-3 rich-fatty fish.

If you recoiled when you read the word fatty, you’re like many people. You need fat in your diet. It has to be healthy fat. Fat digests slowly and keeps you feeling full longer. Besides satiety, omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation that affects fat metabolism. Ironically, you also need healthy fat to burn fat. Fatty fish and omega-3 can also boost your metabolism. Salmon, sardines, and tuna are three examples of fatty fish.

What do lean proteins like chicken, chili peppers, and celery have in common?

The answer is: They are thermogenic foods. These foods boost your metabolism. They require extra energy to digest. They heat your palate and body or need more calories for the digestive cycle, which often takes longer. Proteins, like chicken, digest slower, which keeps you feeling full longer. The fiber in celery fills you without adding calories but takes extra calories to digest. The capsaicin in the chili peppers starts thermogenesis, burning a few extra calories for a while.

Bring on the beans.

You get protein and fiber when you eat black beans. That helps fill you and keep you full longer. All beans are high in fiber, but black beans are extremely high. They contain both protein and fiber, with 15 grams per cup. Studies show that increasing your fiber intake can decrease your waist circumference. A high waist circumference indicates an accumulation of visceral fat, which is the most difficult fat to lose.

• Spice up your oatmeal or soup by adding cinnamon and lose fat while you do. Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde that helps lose belly fat. It might be because it helps regulate blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.
• Snack on some berries to burn fat. They’re packed with antioxidants. Whether blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries, they improve the body’s ability to burn fat by combatting oxidative stress.
• Have some coffee or green tea. Both contain caffeine that boosts your metabolism. Green tea contains EGCG—Epigallocatechin gallate—that fights inflammation and increases fat burning.
• Put hot sauce on an avocado and have it for a snack. The capsaicin in the hot sauce increases your metabolism. The monounsaturated fat and fiber in the avocado help cut your appetite and prevent excess body fat.
