Best Superfoods For Weight Loss & Burning Belly Fat-1

Best Superfoods For Weight Loss & Burning Belly Fat -1
top 10 superfoods list

1. Baobab fruit extract

Based on ORAC values, it is one of the highest antioxidant substances

on earth; 40% more than acai and nearly 30x higher than blueberries.

Baobab contains more fiber than any other superfruit  over 50% of

its content is fiber. When you're trying to drop those pounds,

healthy fiber intake is important to help you feel full. The more

satisfied you feel when eating, the less likely you are to keep

eating!

How people use it

You don't need much of this exotic African fruit. Add a tablespoon

or two to your yogurt, smoothie, protein shake, oatmeal, or even into

the batter of baked goods you make. It tastes slightly sweet but has

very low sugar content and is a neutral flavor, which makes it easy

to include in almost any recipe. Because it is so high fiber, don't

use too much.

2. Green tea

This is not some flavor of the week fad. For a long time now, green

tea has been studied for reportedly offering weight loss benefits and

it does not appear to be caused by the caffeine.

According to the results from a study published in the American

Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it had thermogenic effect on

participants, boosting metabolism burn by 4% over a 24 hour period

when compared to those on a placebo .

How people use it

The research suggests both regular and decaf green tea has the same

effect. Try substituting your morning coffee with freshly brewed

green tea. During the afternoon and evening hours, stick with the

decaf so you don't lose sleep at night.

3. Apple cider vinegar

Although a more recent trend in the United States, reportedly in

North African culture women have been using apple cider vinegar

achieve weight loss for generations and men (bodybuilders) are said

to use it for purported rapid results before competitions

Despite being one of the most popular foods for dropping the pounds,

clinical trials have not been done to validate this claim.

We are not making any claims about whether or not it works. All we

know is that for us personally, we find that when we use it 30 to 60

minutes before a meal, we end up eating less.

How people use it

You should never consume vinegars straight. They need to be diluted

in water. Undiluted apple cider vinegar as well as all other

varieties of vinegar ?can destroy your teeth enamel if not watered

down first.

As a dietary supplement, (our favorite manufacturer of it)

provides the following instructions:

Stir 1 to 2 tsps of Bragg organic apple cider vinegar in 8 oz. glass

of water. Optionally, you can add a sweetener like organic honey,

monk fruit, or molasses.

4. Chia seeds

Chia is a controversial food. Many people claim that its a

superfood that encourages losing weight, but the research does not

support that. There have not been many clinical studies so far, but

for the ones that have been done, those consuming chia did not lose

more weight versus those who weren. However we still like chia

because it is a very fiber-rich food and has more omega 3 than

salmon based on an equal ounce vs. ounce comparison.

How people use them

Like all seeds and nuts, they are very dense in calories and

therefore should be used sparingly when you are dieting. Similar to

baobab fruit, you can easily sprinkle a teaspoon or two into your

breakfast foods and desserts.

5. Honey crisp apples

Not every dieting food needs to be coming from some far off exotic

destination like quinoa from South America or goji from China. We

have many in our backyard and while an apple may seem boring to you,

its an excellent food for dieting.

For starters, the average apple with skin has about 2/3 the

antioxidants as blueberries and about the same amount as fresh goji

berries, when compared on an equal ounce vs. ounce basis. But unlike

fresh berries which cost a fortune, apples are affordable. One medium

apple is only 95 calories, but thanks to its high fiber content its a

satisfying snack.

How people use them

Feeling low on energy and need a pick me up? Dont grab a high

calorie (and empty calorie) like tortilla chips. Protein bars are

often deceiving because theyre only a few bit yet they may be 250

or 300 calories.

On the other hand an apple is high in antioxidants, low in calories,

and has a lower glycemic impact than refined sugars. It may be just

what you need to hold you over  mealtime. Any variety will do,

but we prefer the taste of honey crisp. With many foods organic is

not worth it, but with apples it is since tests show they have higher

pesticide residue on them versus most other fruits and vegetables.
