8 Healthy Foods That Help You Burn Fat

Strawberries

The potassium and tannins in strawberries make them a diuretic that we should eat often. And because of their high levels of manganese, which stimulates the thyroid gland, strawberries are said to have a fat-burning effect.

Papayas

Papaya’s fat-burning ability comes from its digestive enzyme, papain, which helps break down certain sugars and fats and helps absorb excess fat and sugar in our body.

Broccoli

You can thank its high fibre content, which burns up lots of energy while digesting. Plus, it takes toxins and fats along with it as it moves through the digestive tract.

Cabbage

Cabbage is a great food to boost metabolism and help with weight loss. That is why it is so often included in diets and detox programs. Brussels sprouts and kale are also part of this food group rich in vitamins C and K

Pineapples

Bromelain is mainly found in fresh pineapple (not canned) and is an excellent anti-inflammatory, digestive aid and fat-burning enzyme.

Oranges

It's a fact: People who consume enough vitamin C burn up to 30% more fat during physical activity compared to people deficient in vitamin C.

Blueberries

Blueberries not only pack one of the best antioxidant punches around, they are also a major source of anthocyanins, which impact the genes that regulate metabolism and therefore help eliminate belly fat.

Quinoa

In addition to being rich in protein and fibre, this pseudo-grain is low in calories and has a low glycemic index. The latter can help prevent major blood sugar spikes.
