A great list of foods which are proven to fight belly fat!
- Instant Oatmeal (Unsweetened & Unflavored) – Oatmeal which is high in soluble fiber not only can help in burning fat it can help lower your cholesterol.
- Low Fat Dairy Products – Recent studies have shown that people who consume at least 3 servings of low fat dairy each day lose up to 70% more than people who do not consume dairy. The key appears to be the calcium in foods such as yogurt, cheese, and milk.
- Eggs – Eggs are an excellent source of protein and vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-12 aids the body in breaking down and burning fat.
- Citrus Fruits – Citrus is very high in Vitamin C which has some fat burning properties. Basically, Vitamin C makes fat less effective and can help dilute fat which makes it easier to be released from the body.
- Chilies – Chilies contain capsaicin which appears to not only help boost the pain tolerance but also the metabolism.
- Beans – Beans including soybeans are high in fiber, protein and iron. Soybeans in particular have the chemical lecithin which may assist in the process of shielding cells from accumulating fat.
- Fresh Fruits & Vegetables– Especially apples, berries, beets, cabbage, sweet potatoes, and asparagus contain pectin. Pectin can help limit the amount of fat which the cells can absorb and can help the cells absorb more water which can help release fat deposits.
- Whole Grains – Whole grains are less processed than other forms of grain based carbohydrates which allow them to retain more of the natural fiber and minerals.
- Lean Meats– Lean meats such as turkey, chicken and beef are extremely high in protein and can help boost the immune system. Fish such as salmon and tuna have the “healthy fat” omega 3 fatty acid in addition to being high in protein which is excellent for boosting the immune system
- Olive Oil – Olive Oil is considered a “good fat” because it is high in monounsaturated fat.
