When the fat gets lodged on the hips, it is not easy to get rid of it. Unless you regularly practice a sporting activity and consume the right foods. Here are the ones you need to put on your plate to slim your waistline and lose your love handles.
Red fruits
Red fruits, especially raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrants, are great allies. And for good reason, they are the champions of antioxidants, molecules that promote the burning of abdominal fat. In addition, antioxidants help strengthen our defenses against free radicals, which accelerate aging, and are valued for their anti-cancer properties.
Apples
In the fruit department, we can also mention the apple. And for good reason, this fruit is rich in pectin, a substance that helps to burn fat better. More precisely, it forms a viscous gel which traps the sugars and fats absorbed during meals. Not to mention that this molecule has an appetite suppressant effect. Note that eggplant also has a high pectin content.
Eggs
You can also bet on eggs (preferably hard-boiled). It is indeed a natural fat burner. Besides the fact that it has two powerful antioxidants – lutein and zeaxanthin – this food is satiating and rich in protein. It thus causes thermogenesis, a metabolic process that prompts the body to produce heat and burn more calories.
Turmeric
To remove these small bulges located at the level of the abdominal strap, do not hesitate to enhance the flavor of your dishes with turmeric. This spice, also known as Indian saffron, contains curcumin, the main pigment in turmeric. And this active ingredient helps limit the accumulation of fat in abdominal fatty tissue.
Whole grains
Another key food: whole grains, such as oats, rye, barley, spelled, or even quinoa. They contain more fiber and protein than so-called refined grains and limit the accumulation of body fat. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that whole grains promote weight loss.
