Excessive fat in the body can cause a host of health complications such as diabetes, blood pressure, gout and disorders related to the gallbladder. However, there are certain food types that can help you achieve a healthy body with optimal fat levels.

Some foods that aid in fat loss are:

  1. Greek yoghurt: This type of yoghurt contains higher amounts of protein and fewer carbohydrates as compared to regular yoghurt. It will help you feel full for a longer duration and prevent over snacking.
  2. Green tea: Apart from its antioxidant properties which are beneficial for the body, it also raises the metabolic rate which helps in burning calories. Catechin is a compound present in green tea that aids in removing belly fat.
  3. Chili peppers: They contain a compound containing capsaicin that helps in boosting metabolism which in turn burns fat.
  4. Chicken: Chicken mostly consists of lean protein that requires more calories to digest as compared to digesting fats and carbohydrates. Lean protein also helps in building muscles in the body which burn more calories when the body is at rest.
  5. Cinnamon: Cinnamon aids the body in transporting the sugar into the cells so that it can be used as energy and not stored as fat.
  6. Eggs: Eggs are considered to be a type of super food as they contain plenty of minerals and vitamins. Eggs also contain protein that helps in feeling full for a longer duration.
  7. Non-starchy vegetables: Non-starchy vegetables such as carrots, squash and zucchini contain fiber that helps you feel fuller for a longer period of time. They also contain very less carbohydrates so they do not add much calorific value to the body.

Adding these foods to your daily diet will smoothen your fat loss journey due to their amazing properties. Hence, start having them daily to maintain a fitter and stronger body.
