These 12 foods
will start narrowing your waist the minute they
leave your fork and enter your mouth! Make sure
these are added to your shopping list on your
next trip.
Grapefruit
Vitamin C helps with the proper metabolism of
fat, foods rich in it make great choices for burning
fat. Eating half a grapefruit for breakfast or about
thirty minutes before eating meals will help you
feel more full and prevent overeating.
Black Pepper
Piperine, the important substance in Black
Pepper, has shown signs of reducing the
formation of fat cells in your body. Black pepper
also helps to increase your metabolism. This is
great news for those Ssck of eating bland food
and looking for an easy way to shed some
pounds!
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is known to lower blood sugar levels;
this can help in suppressing monster appetites.
Adding cinnamon to teas, coffee, and yogurt
(plain!!) are some easy ways to get it in your
system.
Note** Try your best to purchase Ceylon
cinnamon; the ingredient Coumarin, found in high
amounts in Cassia Cinnamon, is known to have
harmful effects on the liver.
Eggs
The beauty of eggs is that they are low in cal orie
and contain 7 grams of protein, as well as other
beneficial nutrients. Studies have shown that
eating eggs for breakfast will significantly lower
the amount of calories you may want to consume
later in the day. Although the yolk is high in
cholesterol, it does hold its benefits – consuming
inmoderation is advised.
Apples (and of course fruits in general)
Fruits are your friends when it comes to losing
weight; they offer countless benefits and still
satisfy your tastes buds. The beauty of fruit is that
it’ll satisfy your sweet tooth and does not harm
the body the same way processed sugars do
(sugar is the reason people accumulate fat).
Apples, when eaten with skin, hold a good
amount of fiber and water and help you feel full.
Green Tea
The importance of green tea in battling body fat
could not be stressed enough; the phytochemical
catechins, found in green tea, is known to speed
metabolisms. It is better to consume green tea
hot because it will help you lengthen the
experience and increase the benefits. Adding
honey and lemon to your green tea will not only
add to the health factor, but will make the tea
incredibly delicious.
Blueberries
If you have been getting your blueberry intake
through muffins and pancaks, then you’ve been
doing blueberries wrong. Not only are blueberries
high in insoluble fiber, antioxidants, and tasty
goodness, a half cup worth of them are only
worth 40 calories. For something different try
blueberries on salads or in smoothies.
Almonds
Although nuts in general will aid in body fat loss,
almonds are the best for your wallet. They are
packed with protein, fiber, and heart healthy fats.
One serving of almonds (about 23) will help you
stay full. The best thing about almonds is they’re
portable. A serving is easy to carry with you
wherever you go so incorporating them in your
routine should be easy.
