Irrespective of what TV commercials that sell the latest ab machine or fat loss potion will make you believe, nutrition is the most important factor if your priority is to burn belly as fast as possible. You can start living in the gym, but if your diet is not up to scratch you will have to settle for living with an expanding waistline.
However, if you are sick of hearing that the only way to lose stomach fat is to eat only raw fruits and vegetables, I've got good news for you. There are certain fat burning foods that are healthy, taste good and will help you to shed belly fat. In fact, there's a good chance that you haven't even tried some of them.
* Goji berries - super high in protein and amino acids, goji berries are also packed with vitamins and have six times more antioxidants than blueberries. They have very high fiber content and 5 different fatty acids which makes them a perfect fat-burning food as well as a powerful immune system booster. Look for them in your local heath food store in dried form and with no added sweeteners.
* Peanut butter - this kid-friendly food is surprisingly waist-friendly as well. It contains niacin, which prevent bloating and aids in digestive health. Make sure that you buy all- natural peanut butter as it doesn't contain vegetable fat, added salt and sugar. Skippy is out of the question. A good idea for a snack is to spread some of it on a celery stick. It burns fat and fiber from the celery will suppress appetite as well.
* Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese - it's low in calories, rich in calcium, and activates fat-burning hormones. Also because it contains a fair amount of protein, it will suppress your appetite and you'll stay fuller for longer. It also contains the highest amount of protein than any other dairy product.
* Green Tea - it's rich in antioxidants and has been proven to speed up metabolism. So much so that research has showed that people who drink green tea on average burn 260 calories more per day than those who don't. Avoid bottled teas as processing they go through deplete their fat burning ingredients.
