December 8, 2016March 10, 2017 Kahren Young 0 Comments

If you want to drop some pounds, adding foods to your diet that either stimulate the metabolism or keep you feeling fuller for longer will help your weight-loss efforts. These eight foods can not only help you get a flatter belly, but they also contain many beneficial nutrients and disease-fighting properties.

Protein

High protein foods take more work to digest, metabolize and use, therefore, you burn more calories processing them. High protein diets can also reduce obsessive thoughts about food by 60%, reduce desire for late-night snacking by half, and make you so full that you automatically eat 441 fewer calories per day… just by adding protein to your diet.
High Fiber-filled Foods

Fiber boosts satiety. Since it passes through the body undigested, fiber slows the absorption of nutrients and makes you feel fuller longer. Studies have shown that adding 6 grams of soluble fiber (such as ground flax seed) to yogurt provided the satiating power of an additional 260 calories. Therefore, to reap the satiating power of fiber, aim for 25-35 grams daily.
Apple Cider Vinegar

The organic acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes present in apple cider vinegar increase metabolism which enables our body to burn fat faster and prevent the accumulation of fat. It is rich in potassium and fibers which reduce the glucose content in our blood stream. This helps in controlling sugar carvings and binge eating.
Calcium

Studies have shown that eating three servings of low-fat, calcium-rich dairy a day helps weight loss. Low-fat milk, fortified orange juice, leafy greens, and yogurt are all rich sources of calcium.
Green Tea

Green tea raises the metabolism by speeding up the rate at which fat is oxidized or "burned" in the cells, thus considered the ultimate weight loss beverage. More benefits: It is rich in antioxidants, promotes heart health, and regulates blood sugar.
Fruits

Fruit has been recognized as a good source of vitamins and minerals, and for their role in preventing vitamin C and vitamin A deficiencies. People who eat fruit as part of an overall healthy diet generally have a reduced risk of chronic diseases.
Mustard

Mustard is one of the healthiest condiments we can use. It has no added sugar. The mustard seed itself is a powerful source of antioxidants. Turmeric is one of the ingredients in mustard and studies have shown that it is a powerful cancer and alzheimer-fighting agent. mustard is great for arthritis, weight loss, lustrous hair and much more.
Hot Peppers

The hotter, the better! The more heat your body generates, the more calories you'll burn away (and the faster you'll reach your weight loss goals). You can actively increase your calorie burn rate by triggering thermogenesis in your body. Sprinkle your food with a little capsaicin (hot peppers) and thermogenesis will start!
