A list of the best 10 foods to eat to burn bely fat.
Having too much belly fat can raise the risk of heart disease,
diabetes, liver disease and many other health problems.
Not only that but having a swollen belly can lower our self-esteem
and make us feel quite uncomfortable.
Luckily there are certain foods that you can eat which help to reduce
belly fat specifically, by lowering insulin in the body.
Eat the following foods to replace junk foods and
you will soon notice weight loss around your midsection.
1. Nuts There are certain nuts
which are packed full of protein and healthy fats which will keep you full between meals.
Walnuts, Pistachios, Pecans and Macadamia Nuts are all excellent choices. It is
important to eat these with your meal, and not as a snack. Snacking triggers insulin,
a hormone which prevents you from burning fat. You lose weight when fasting between meals.
2. Oily Fish Wild caught salmon, sardines, tuna and mackerel
are all fantastic sources of omega fatty acids. These help to lower inflammation in the pancreas,
regulate your blood sugars and help you to tap into your belly fat for energy. Consuming fish
at least 3 times per week is a great way to burn off those extra pounds and build muscle.
3. Vinegar Many people suffer with indigestion,
constipation and problems with their gut when overweight. Mix a tablespoon of apple
cider vinegar in a glass of water, and drink before each meal. This strengthens the stomach
to help digest foods better, burn off more calories and improve your metabolic rate.
4. Eggs Eggs contain
all the building blocks of life and are packed full of protein (amino acids) and healthy fats.
They contain lots of Vitamin B12 which helps your body to metabolise fat, giving you lots
of energy. These keep your blood sugars stable through the day for more effective fat burning.
5. Olive Oil Use a good quality
extra virgin olive oil in salad dressings and healthy recipes. This is rich in monounsaturated
fats which helps to clean your arteries of fat and plaque. Olive oil reduces inflammation in
the body for better fat burning, and it also keeps you feeling satisfied after meals.
6. Berries Berries are the
healthiest fruits on the planet and are loaded with fibre, antioxidants and phytonutrients.
All of these support healthy weight loss, and will help to reduce bloating in the stomach.
We recommend blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. Consume
these as a healthy pudding to satisfy a sweet tooth after meals.
7. Turmeric Turmeric is an ancient spice
used for thousands of years in India to improve health and lose weight. It contains an active
ingredient called curcumin which supports the regrowth of healthy pancreas cells.
This keeps your blood sugars stable and triggers weight loss around the belly.
8. Cabbage All forms of cabbage are powerful when
it comes to burning belly fat. Purple cabbage, Bok choy, sauerkraut or simple green cabbage are all
amazing for boosting friendly bacteria in the gut, and improving digestion. The high potassium in
these vegetables reduces the need for insulin in the body, so that it can burn belly fat as fuel.
9. Lemon & Mint We highly recommend
blending some fresh mint leaves with a peeled whole lemon topped off with water.
Sieve this mixture and drink on a daily basis. Mint and lemon are both detoxifying agents,
which help to strip away from the liver. This reduces belly fat very quickly.
10. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a bitter-sweet spice which you can purchase in powdered form.
This is amazing for boosting your metabolism and balancing blood sugars.
You can add this as an alternative sweetener to your tea and coffee, in replacement for sugar.
As you can see there are many excellent foods
that you can consume to help you lose weight around the belly area.
Be sure to remove sugary foods and refined grains from the diet,
as these foods cause a spike in the insulin hormone which stops you from burning belly fat.
Eat lots of whole foods, raw or lightly steamed in their natural form.
These will provide the nutrients that the body needs to normalise its fat storage.
We also recommend performing intermittent fasting, a simple diet trick where you consume all of your
calories in a five hour window during the day. This gives your body a further 19 hours to rest,
digest and tap into its fat reserves for energy for fast weight loss.
When it comes to losing weight,
80% of your efforts should come from what you eat, and 20% from exercise. So focus
primarily on cutting out junk foods and replacing them with healthy alternatives.
Cauliflower can be used to make a rice alternative,
a pizza base and to make a mash similar to potatoes, yet it very healthy.
Konjac Flour is also used in many products, a type of fibre that absorbs lots of water
to keep you feeling full. You can find this as pasta and noodle alternatives.
