In this video, I'm going to show you the top foods that are going to help you lose belly fat.
There's no doubt the foods that we eat are either going to cause us to gain weight or
lose weight.
Like the old saying goes, abs are made in the kitchen and of course we have to pay attention
to our macronutrient breakdown, but the truth is, is that we can eat specific foods that
are actually going to help us start burning some of that fat off our body.
One of the top questions I get, what are these particular foods and that's what we're going
to discuss in today's video.
We're going to talk about the top foods that will help you lose belly fat superfast, so
stick around to the end of this video, but before we get started, I'm Dr. Zyrowski and

Let's go ahead and dive into one of the first foods on our list.
One of the first foods is ones that you may not be too familiar with when it comes to
fat loss and that's chili peppers.
Chili peppers is actually highly researched and highly beneficial for losing weight.
What they found in the research is that it's an auction at rich and it's going to help
reduce inflammation.
This is really powerful because when we look at inflammation, they're highly correlated
with a lot of the same problems people have when it comes to weight loss, hormone dysfunction,
insulin resistance, cortisol being out of control.
So, when we reduce inflammation, we are able to actually help balance out some of these
hormones as well.
Now specifically, when we look at chili peppers, it has something called capsaicin in it.
Now, this capsaicin is highly research and highly proven to help you burn some belly
fat.
It's proven to help you reduce hunger.
Also helps prevent overeating and it's not doing this because it's so hot, it actually
has a biological component to it that is going to help your body not be so hungry and also
it's going to help you not overeat.
Now when we also talk about capsaicin, it's going to help you burn more calories and increase
your metabolism.
What they found in the research is that people who are adding in chili peppers were able
to burn 50 more calories per day.
So that's pretty powerful if you're someone who's trying to lose some weight.
Now this information right here is based on 20 different studies that were reviewed and
what they found is that chili peppers are very powerful.
The other thing is, is that if you like something spicy, cayenne pepper also offers some similar
benefits.
Now, I say that chili pepper is because it has a capsaicin in it, it's a little bit more
research, a little bit more proven to help you lose belly fat, but cayenne pepper is
also a great way to start burning some fat as well.
Let's talk about fatty fish.
Now fatty fish is a great way to lose some fat too.
Now when we talk about fatty fish, I'm talking about SMASH fish.
That is an acronym for salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and herring.
These particular fish are going to be loaded with Omega-3s.
It's going to be a good quality source of protein, which both of those together are
going to help reduce your appetite.
It's also going to make you help you feel more satiated.
And then lastly, the other thing is if you can't add in fish on a daily basis like maybe
one meal a day, then what you can also do is use a fish oil supplement.
There was a research study out there where they took 44 people.
These 44 people took a fish oil for six weeks.
Over that six week period, on average, they lost about 1.1 pounds.
Now you may say to yourself, okay, 1.1 pounds.
I mean that's really not enough to make me want to take that, but I always recommend
that people take this anyway because it's so beneficial for your brain health and your
hormonal health, and just your cardiovascular health, all the different aspects of your
health in general.
So, taking a fish oil supplement, something very easy to do, highly beneficial and it's
going to help you burn some of that fat.
Let's talk about berries.
Now when it comes to fruit in general, it's a little bit controversial.
Some people think that you shouldn't ever eat fruit if you're trying to lose weight.
But the thing is, is berries actually have some great weight loss benefits.
First of all, very nutrient dense.
They're low-glycemic, so you're not going to have to worry about getting a huge sugar
spike from berries, loaded with fiber, and also lots of good antioxidants and turns is
going to help you lose weight, decrease inflammation, get a really great nutrient density food and
it's going to really be delicious.
And a lot of people try to avoid fruit at all costs, but you can stick to berries and
that's going to help you with your weight loss.
Now, almond butter - almond butter is one of my favorite snacks.
I love having an almond butter spread on a green apple.
It's really good.
I'll eat it for dessert all the time.
Now almond butter is great because it's a quality protein source loaded with vitamin
E, lots of healthy fats, and lots of antioxidants.
Now when we look at the almond butter or we look at nuts in general, one of the huge benefits
that they offer is that they have those good quality fats in them.
Now when we talk about fats, one of the things that we will see again and again is that high
fat foods are very satiating.
They hold you over longer.
They help you not have all those cravings, so adding in high fat foods is always going
to be beneficial whether it's nuts, whether it's oils, whatever.
We'll get more to that in just a moment.
Let's talk about avocados - avocado, we were just talking about those healthy fats.
Good, healthy fat, specifically loaded with monosaturated oleic acid.
This is the same type of fat you're going to find in like an olive oil.
Now this particular fat is very good for fat burning, very satiating, hold you over.
Now there's a lot of research out there that shows if you eat an avocado for breakfast,
if you even eat an avocado for lunch, you will eat fewer calories throughout the day.
This is why the avocado is really a great food.
I like to take an avocado, split it in half, sprinkle some sea salt on it and then eat
that.
It's very simple, easy lunch, easy thing to pack with you and you can do it every day
for lunch, high in fiber, low in carbs, lots of great fats.
Let's talk about leafy greens.
There's not very many people out there who are eating an adequate amount of leafy greens
on a daily basis.
The leafy greens are so important.
They're so important for weight loss.
One of the things that's great about them is they're loaded with vitamins and minerals,
loaded with fiber, and specifically they're proven help you burn fat.
Now, the particular greens that are going to really help you burn fat are going to be
things like kale, spinach, and some of the collards.
Now there's a lot of studies out there that show if you eat a nice big salad for lunch,
it helps hold you over better.
Skip the burgers and French fries, have a nice big salad with a quality protein on it
and you're going to find that it just holds you over.
It makes you feel full because you're actually getting the nutrients you need.
You don't go and require eating a huge amount of food.
You don't have all the cravings.
I mean, time and time again, we see this.
When people eat low quality food, they always eat a larger portion of food at every meal.
When they're eating high quality food, nutrient dense food, they feel more satisfied so they
eat less.
Leafy greens or something that are a must.
And with the nutrient content in it, more people need to be eating more leafy greens.
Now eggs - eggs are something that are highly controversial over the past couple of years,
lots of research demonizing eggs saying how terrible they are.
But of course, there is a lot of conflicting research from the stuff that is saying that
how bad it is to saying how good it is, how it's going to help with weight loss.
What some research shows is that if you eat eggs in the morning, you eat fewer calories
throughout the entire day helping you lose a ton of weight.
Eggs are loaded with very healthy minerals and nutrients too.
Choline is going to be really good for your brain health, it’s going to be good for
your liver health.
Vitamins A, B, D, like I said, lots of good vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, which are
going to help with inflammation.
They're high in fat, they have a good cholesterol profile, they're going to be high in protein
as well, and they're only 77 calories in one egg, so you can easily go take a hard-boiled
egg with you for lunch, eat eggs in the morning, and once again, it's going to help you eat
fewer calories, help you lose weight.
Let's talk about grapefruit.
Grapefruit is a really popular fruit when it comes to weight loss.
There's a lot of reasons for it because first of all it's going to help with appetite control
and also is going to help aid in weight loss.
It's going to help with giving you lots of good quality antioxidants and then it’s
low-glycemic.
Grapefruit is always very sour and the reason it's sour is because it doesn't have that
much sugar in it.
Now, a lot of people, and even myself growing up were taught to go and sprinkle some sugar
on grapefruit in order to make it taste better, but when we just have grapefruit as it is,
it's a very good healthy food.
What they did is they took 91 obese subjects and they had them have a grapefruit before
each meal and because they had that grapefruit before each meal, what they found is those
who didn't eat grapefruit were not able to lose that much weight and the people who ate
the grapefruit prior to eating their lunch, their dinner, whatever it was, they lost a
significant amount of weight.
So grapefruit is really powerful and also is going to help you lose some weight.
Ginger is another one that we don't really hear a lot about, but it offers you a lot
of good weight loss benefits, good anti-inflammatory - and you're seeing again and again here that
these anti-inflammatory foods are very important for weight loss.
These antioxidant rich foods are important for weight loss.
It's also going to help you balance your blood sugar, which is very important.
A lot of times people have really high blood sugar, high insulin, they're storing fat,
they're not actually losing fat, not good.
So, the ginger is going to help with the blood sugar.
It's going to act as an appetite suppressant, and it also is going to reduce the risk of
heart disease because when you are someone who is obese, if you're overweight, your risk
of disease goes way up.
So taking ginger is going to help with that because it's going to help reduce your cholesterol.
So very powerful.
Now the other thing that you can do is just use a ginger tea.
There was a study out there and what they did is they took 66 men.
Of those 66 men, those who are using ginger were found to eat fewer calories throughout
the day, so whether you're throwing it in a smoothie, making a tea with it, or just
simply adding some into your food that you're prepping for yourself, the ginger is going
to help with your weight loss goals.
Let's talk about collagen now and I really like collagen because I think that more people
need to be taking it and it also is going to help you with weight loss.
It's going to provide fullness, it's going to suppress your appetite.
Some research says it will, some research says it won't, so that's why I put it may
suppress your appetite, but what they found is that the collagen actually helps suppress
your appetite more so than other forms of protein -whey protein, pea protein.
It also is going to promote skin health, which is very important during a weight loss period.
If you're someone who's trying to lose weight, one of the things that can happen, especially
if you're losing a lot of weight, is you can get a lot of saggy skin, you're dealing with
stretch marks.
You're dealing with a lot of different skin issues.
Collagen is going to be really supportive for that connective tissue, help you look
younger and also give you some anti-aging benefits and on top of that help you lose
the weight.
And one of the things I want to mention too is you can consider sardines if you want a
lot of good collagen.
Sardines actually has all the different connective tissue within these fish and therefore it'll
help you with your connective tissue.
And so add in some collagen.
What I'll do is I'll put a link to the one that I like down below because I'm very specific
that I like ones that have a whole array of different types of collagen within them because
all the different types of collagen have benefits, unique benefits of their own.
So, we want to make sure that we're getting a good array of all the different types.
But collagen is definitely important for anybody who's trying to have good, healthy skin, good
healthy connective tissue, and go in and lose some weight.
Now let's talking about healthy fats.
Healthy fats are incredible when it comes to weight loss.
Specifically, we're looking at coconut oil, olive oil.
You could add some avocado oil.
These are all good fats that are going to help suppress appetite, keep you fuller for
longer.
They're also going to help boost your metabolic rate, increase your calorie burn, and just
like I said, help you eat fewer calories throughout the entire day.
When you're adding in healthy fats first thing in the morning, you're going to be so much
better off throughout the entire day.
Fats are very satiating.
Remember that.
This is another thing that we're seeing time and time again.
Same thing we talked about with avocados.
Fats are satiating.
They suppress your appetite.
They hold you over for longer, they cut cravings, they help you eat fewer calories, so add in
good healthy fats.
You can simply take a scoop of a coconut oil out and just eat it if you're having a hard
time figuring out how you'd put it in, but you can also cook your eggs in the coconut
oil.
You can drizzle some olive oil on your salad.
Lots of good ways to add these in.
Next on our list here is going to be beverages.
Beverages are so easy to add into our daily routine and really help us burn some of that
belly fat.
Some of my favorite beverages that are proven to boost metabolism and help cut some of that
fat off is going to be oolong tea, green tea, and black tea.
Now when we look to those, we can just simply add those in first thing in the morning to
help eat fewer calories throughout the day and we can add those in later on in the afternoon.
It's going to help keep our metabolism boosted.
Apple cider vinegar is also great.
Apple cider vinegar has been proven time and time again in the research.
We can take one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, drink it before a meal.
It helps keep our blood sugar low.
It helps keep our insulin levels low and therefore we don't store as much fat.
So, adding an apple cider vinegar, what I typically recommend for people is that they
do one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar up to three times a day.
That's what the research shows that you have to do for best results.
Now when it comes to apple cider vinegar, you want to cut it down with water and you
can even make some really good apple cider vinegar drinks where you added some cinnamon
and some other ingredients, which I'll get to in just a moment here.
Also, drinking coffee is highly beneficial.
This is why these fine research where people are drinking coffee in the morning and they're
eating fewer calories throughout the day, helps boost up the metabolism.
And then lastly, water.
There was this one particular research study when it came to water and they found that
those who drank a good full glass of water were able to lose far more fat than those
who didn't.
They had these individuals drink a full glass of water prior to eating their meals, so they
had a group of individuals who did that and then a group who didn't.
The group who are drinking the glass of water prior to meals lost 44% more weight than those
who didn't.
So very powerful, very simple to add in.
Be sure to put it in the comment section below your favorite weight loss food and share this
video with your friends.
Also, give this video a big thumbs up.
I'd appreciate that.
And then lastly, check out this video over here.
It's going to have the apple cider vinegar drink in.

you need to know right here.
We implement it into our daily routine for about 10 days or 30 days or more.
And then from there we just see the benefits that it has to offer…
