Here are some popular fat-burning foods that you should include in your diet if fat loss is your goal.
Traditional diet rules suggest in order to lose weight we need to burn more calories than we eat, but when it comes to burning fat, research shows that eating more of certain foods might be more effective.
Coffee
Coffee lovers rejoice! Coffee not only boosts your mood and improves your mental and physical performance, it also helps in burning fat. Research shows caffeine helps in increasing your metabolic rate by three to 13 per cent, depending on the individual, and the amount consumed.
Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is known for its numerous magical health benefits which also includes reducing appetite and lowering blood sugar level. Moreover, apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which has been found to increase fat burning.
Eggs
Eggs are a great source of protein and are also low in calories, which will help greatly in your fat loss journey. They also contain an amino acid called leucine, which acts as a catalyst in your body to burn fat and maintain muscle mass.
Full-fat Greek yoghurt
Greek yoghurt has double the protein as compared to other yoghurts. Research suggests that high-protein dairy products may increase fat loss because they take longer to move through your stomach and keep your hunger at bay for long hours.
Avocado
Avocados have high levels of mono-saturated fat, which can help to slow the release of sugars into the blood stream, this helps to reduce blood-sugar levels. This in turn helps the body to break down fat.

Berries are known to help burn fat due to their rich antioxidants. Berries are also full of fiber and water, which can help you feel fuller for longer. Blueberries regulate fat burning and fat storage, which help in reducing abdominal fat, while raspberries are packed with dietary fiber, which helps improve bowel movement and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
