Whether you have just finished an insane bulk, put on a few extra pounds over the holidays, or just want to get ripped in time for summer, you’ve come to the right place. Today I’m going to discuss the 10 best foods to burn fat that will get your abs and veins showing up in next to no time.

Green Tea

Yeah it’s technically a drink and not a food, but green tea is one of the best diet foods or drinks for that matter to burn fat. As well as providing your body with antioxidants, green tea is known to boost your body’s metabolic rate, aiding your body to burn more calories.

Hot peppers

Hot food is good food when it comes to foods that burn fat. Go for peppers such as habanero or jalapeno as these provide a much bigger kick. Peppers raise the core body temperature which speeds up our metabolism, but don’t eat too many hot peppers as your toilet and roommates won’t be best pleased!

Fish

One of the best foods to burn fat has to be the mighty fish, jacked to the gills in protein and omega-3 oils, it’s great for losing weight and gaining muscle. Eating fish 2-3 times a week is proven to reduce our cholesterol and improve the body’s immune system.

Grapefruit

Although not for everyone due to its strong pungent taste, grapefruit can lower the insulin levels in our system, which reduces our body’s ability to store sugar as fat.

Pro tip – For those up can’t man up and drink grapefruit straight up, try adding some to your protein shakes or in a fruit smoothie to dilute the taste.

Broccoli

One of the few super foods that I think taste great, broccoli is packed with vitamins and has the ability to fill your stomach up on very few calories. Broccoli also provides you with a ton of fiber, making it for me one of the best diet foods to incorporate into your diet, whether you want to lose fat or gain muscle.

Nuts

Almonds and walnuts are two great foods that burn fat and provides your body with good unsaturated fats, they are also proven to reduce cravings. Don’t literally go nuts over them, eat just a handful a day, as they are a calorie dense food.

Water

Undoubtedly the best food or liquid to burn fat is water, without it well, we’d all be dead. Having enough water in our body helps all our internal organs operate at maximum capacity, helping them break down foods, spread nutriments all over our body, and giving us enough energy to get through the day. The better our body works, the more energy it expands resulting in higher calories being burned.

Asparagus

Asparagus helps the body get rid of internal toxins and aids in digestion, it’s jammed full of minerals and vitamins, and is extremely low in calories.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal contains an insane amount of fibre that helps boost our body’s metabolic rate, and keeping us full for longer. Oatmeal is one of the best diet foods for any goal, it’s full of natural minerals and antioxidants, helps lower cholesterol levels, and best of all it’s easy to make.

Lean meats

Eating quality cuts of meat such as chicken or beef actually require your body to work overtime in order to break them down effectively. High thermogenic is a process where your body has to use energy to break down the food to be able utilize all the nutriments. It’s estimated that as much as 33% of calories are burned for each piece of lean meat you digest, so get to eating!

These are my list of top 10 best foods to burn fat, but don’t think they will do all the hard work for you. You still need to hit the gym, or do some form of exercise combined with a nice clean diet using the best diet foods above for maximum results.
