Let's face it, it's already Spring time and the bikinis and short shorts have been on the racks in the mall for quite some time. Still haven't knocked off those extra pounds from winter? Well the gym is a great place to get back in shape but what you put in your belly matters too. The following foods are proven to burn body fat and leave you feeling full and satisfied.
1. Pickles. You'll burn calories digesting these salty snacks. About a medium sized pickle is around seven calories. But don't go around eating a whole bunch of pickles since the sodium will make you bloat.
2. Peanut Butter- Substitute that Nutella for some creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Peanut Butter is a great source of magnesium, plus it raises your metabolism.
3. Olive oil- Monounsaturated fats keep your cholesterol from skyrocketing and can control cravings. Olive oil is a great substitute for butter when eaten with bread.
4. Eggs- Research from Louisiana State University held a study and proved that people lost more weight while eating eggs for breakfast everyday than the ones who just ate bagels. Eggs have B12 vitamins and can jump start your metabolism.
5. Avocado- These green veggies are a great source of fiber and like olive oil, contains monounsaturated fat.
6. Iced Tea- Tea has antioxidants and is a great metabolism booster. Research has proven that tea drinkers burn 266 calories more than non tea drinkers. Tea is a great substitute for sodas but skip the bottled teas, those teas have been processed and have been stripped of their nutrients.
7. Oatmeal- A great breakfast meal, this stuff stays in your stomach for hours and leaves you feeling full until lunchtime. Stay away from the oatmeal boxes that contain the processed sugary flavors. You can always add fruits as a natural sweetener.
