Sometimes we have that stubborn belly pouch that just refuses to go away regardless what you do. Yes, you can opt for liposuction or liposculpture to get rid of the fat cells for good but there are people who’d rather take the longer route. The best news is that there are certain foods that can easily help you burn belly fat if incorporated into your diet. I (with the help of a certain nutritionist) have put together a list of some easily available superfoods that can burn belly fat better than others.

Superfoods that Burn Belly Fat

Chili Peppers

Hot chili peppers contain a compound known as capsaicin which decreases caloric consumption and promotes fat burning. You can add a spicy kick to your breakfast eggs or any meal that you’ll be having throughout the day or just eat them raw on their own (if you have the guts and need the glory). I prefer Tabasco, which I basically add into anything edible.

Beans

Although I’m not a fan (they leave me quite gassy), beans are the perfect ratio of fiber and protein which happen to ensure a full stomach with just a few calories. They are also pocket and user-friendly in that they fill you up real quick.

Grape Fruit

Grapefruits and citrus fruits, in general, provide an intense and satisfying flavor that help in cutting back on calories from sweet treats, and what better way to burn belly fat by staying away from sweet (edible) stuff? A grapefruit after dinner can satisfy just as much as that piece of cake you love so much. If you have a sweet tooth you should consider transitioning slowly to snacking on grapefruits.

Garlic

Most people get turned off by garlic breath, something I have never really understood. I love garlic so much to the point I add it to any food I’m preparing. Garlic is rich in inulin which is a fiber that helps in the digestion of food more efficiently while stabilizing blood sugar.

Leafy Greens

Leafy greens are full of trillions of good bacteria which help the body to function at its best. Try incorporating them into every meal from breakfast to lunch to dinner. Or just throw them into your blender for a nutritious and filling smoothie.

Avocados

Yeah yeah yeah, avocados just seem to be the go-to food for everything and anything… it’s simply the yummiest superfood out there. Avocados are full of healthy fats like omega 3s and 6s and they keep hunger at bay by providing long-burning energy. They also regulate the rate of how glucose enters the cells, in addition to having a superpower to burn belly fat.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms contain Vitamin D which is important in fighting fat. Low levels of Vitamin D correlate with obesity according to one study. You can incorporate mushrooms in your soups, or simply anything you are cooking in your kitchen.

Just to spoil the roll here, eating these foods alone to burn belly fat will not give you the results you need to see. Incorporate exercise and food portion control as well if you want to see that snatched waist you’ve been dreaming of.
