Eat These 9 Foods To Help Boost Fat Loss

With fat loss being one of the most common complaints I see, I’ve compiled a list of foods that have been clinically shown to accelerate fat loss when accompanied by a healthy diet and lifestyle. Try adding one or two of these foods to your daily diet.

Tomatoes

Have been found to increase resting metabolic rate by 150 calories and reduce weight, body fat and waist circumference. 

Apples

Rich in polyphenols, which modulate pathways involved in adiposity, obesity and metabolism, resulting in decreased fat and increased energy expenditure.

Dried Ginger

Shogoals in dried ginger have been found to increase metabolic rate and activate brown fat when consumed in the morning. 

Green Tea

Studies show 10% more calories are burned within an hour of drinking a cup of tea.

Cayenne Pepper

Similarly to ginger, capsaicin in chili binds to thermoreceptors that lead to brown fat activation. 

Goji Berries

Attributed to its anti-inflammatory effects, 14g/day were found to reduce waist circumference by 2.5 inches in 45 days.

Ground Flaxseeds

Other than their appetite suppressing effects, ground flaxseeds have been found to significantly reduce body weight, BMI and waist circumference. 

Vinegar

Boosts AMPK activation, resulting in visceral fat loss.

Nutritional Yeast

Researchers found 2 tsp/day of beta-glucan rich nutritional yeast decreased waist circumference by 1 inch in 6 weeks.
