To clear it right at the beginning, there are no foods in the world that you will eat and - lose weight. You didn't get them overnight, you can't even lose them overnight. Unfortunately.
However, there are foods that, by their composition, stimulate the processes in the body that stimulate faster melting of fatty tissue, but you also need to have a balanced diet and engage in some form of physical activity.
Here are some foods we recommend you include on your menu to help your body process fatty tissue for energy:
1. Avocado
Active ingredients: healthy fats and manoheptulose.
With a high content of healthy monounsaturated fats, which will not be stored as fat in the body, avocados are an excellent food for fat loss if you replace them with carbohydrates. Additionally, avocados contain manoheptulose sugar, which is associated with decreased insulin release because excess insulin is directly related to fat deposition. Maintaining normal insulin levels may also mean less adipose tissue.
Consumption suggestion: Squeeze half of the ripe avocado with a fork. Add half the tomatoes cut into cubes. Sprinkle with half a lemon (or lime) and add salt and pepper, if desired. Insert everything into a blender and mix until you have a uniform mixture. Whisk in rice or integral (unsalted) crackers.
2. Chili peppers
Active ingredient: capsaicin.
Capsaicin, which chili peppers have, increases thermogenesis - creating heat in the body. The thermogenesis process requires the consumption of extra calories, resulting in the loss of fat.
A study published in the journal Clinical Nutrition found that capsaicin boosts metabolism but can also reduce hunger and increase satiety.
Suggestion of consumption: Stir in half a cup of orange juice, two tablespoons of olive oil and one sliced chili pepper and make a marinade. Take the chicken breasts and grease them with marinade and refrigerate for at least an hour (up to 24 hours). Cook on grill pan without using extra fat.
3. Eggs
Active ingredients: protein and healthy fats.
Scientists at the University of Saint Louis in the US state of Missouri have shown in a study that subjects who received 2 eggs for breakfast expressed a feeling of satiety longer during the day and ate less for lunch than a group of subjects who ate no eggs. Nutritionists point out that the whole egg is eaten: jaundice is rich in healthy fats, vitamins A, D and E, and most egg proteins are found in the yolk.
Consumption suggestion: Take a handful of fresh spinach and cut it into strips. Throw the spinach on the pan you preheated and add water to cover the bottom. Whisk two eggs and pour over the spinach after it has softened slightly. Stir in scrambled eggs until desired strength is obtained.
4. Ginger
Active ingredient: gingerol.
Popular in Oriental cuisines, and increasingly popular in our country, ginger stimulates metabolism in two ways: it increases muscle oxygen consumption, resulting in higher calorie consumption, and increases lactic acid production, which increases the production of growth hormones, which increases the amount of fat cells released from "tanks" and used for energy.
Suggestion of consumption: Peel and chop some fresh ginger. Mix with the garlic and fresh vegetables that you have also chopped before: fresh peppers, zucchini, etc. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Serve with your favorite protein source such as white meat or fish.
5. Grapefruit
Active ingredient: naringin.
In a study that gave subjects half a grapefruit daily without any other intervention in their diet, the result was surprising: after 12 weeks, the average weight loss was almost 2 pounds. Grapefruit contains the substance naringin, which promotes the melting of stored fat cells. In addition, grapefruit contains lycopene, vitamins A and C and fiber.
Consumption suggestion: Peel half a grapefruit and peel the skin off. Insert the grapefruit into the blender, add a couple of fresh basil leaves and a few ice cubes. Mix and enjoy!
6. Green tea
Active ingredients: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and caffeine.
While caffeine is known for its fat-burning effect, in green tea it is not really its strongest weapon in the fight against fat cells: EGCG, a phytochemical in green tea that provides a range of health benefits, increases metabolic rate and enhances the process of melting fat.
According to a study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, consuming four cups of green tea a day has helped people lose 3 pounds in eight weeks.
Consumption suggestion: Mix two cups of green tea with half a cup of grapefruit juice and one cup of water. Add ice as desired. Mix and drink throughout the day.
7. Pomegranate
Active ingredients: antioxidants.
Is there a better advertisement for pomegranate than the fact that this fruit is up to 300 times better protected by nitric oxide (NO) in the body. And NO is exactly related to the processes of fat tissue melting!
Consumption suggestion: Mix a measure of whey protein with a glass of 100% pomegranate juice. You've got the perfect pre-workout!
8. Spinach
Active ingredients: glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, fiber.
A cup of cooked spinach contains 41 calories and two powerful detoxifying ingredients: glutathione and alpha lipoic acid, along with water-soluble fibers that help reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol from your digestive tract.
Suggestion for consumption: Insert a handful of spinach into the blender with the squeezed orange juice. Add ice cubes if desired and mix. Enjoy a healthy smoothie.
9. Salmon
Active ingredient: omega-3 fatty acids.
The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon are so potent that they can enhance the processes of fatty tissue melting and slow down the fatty tissue accumulation processes while maintaining the cardiovascular health.
Consumption suggestion: Wash and dry salmon with paper towels. Wash and dry the orange thoroughly before scraping the bark. Preheat grill pan and bake each side of salmon for 1/2 to 1 minute. Set the half-baked salmon aside with the skins on a baking sheet with baking paper. Sprinkle the salmon with orange peel and bake in a preheated oven for another ten minutes.
10. Whole grains
Active ingredients: polyphenols.
Your body uses twice as many calories to break down and digest whole grains (especially those rich in fiber like oatmeal and brown rice) than processed foods.
Consumption suggestion: Heat 2dl of water, add 50 grams of oatmeal and some cinnamon. Stir until the mixture reaches the desired density. Pour into a bowl, and when cooled slightly add half a meter of whey protein and stir.
