I personally like to shop for these foods when I am trying to lose weight for spring or summer. It gives me that little extra edge I need to shed body fat.

Let’s go over some secret foods that can help aid you on your weight loss journey.

Top Foods To Help You Lose Weight:

Garlic

If you can stand to have bad breathe this one is great to add to your grocery bag. Fresh of pickled garlic is known to be an antibiotic and also helps regulate your blood sugar. Garlic can also work as a thermogenic in your body boosting your metabolism and keeping insulin levels low to maximize fat burning. So if you can handle the taste and those close to you can handle the smell then I recommend adding it to you diet accordingly.

Berrys and Apples

This food is a little more pleasant to swallow and taste very good in my opinion. Berries and apples are also great foods for weight loss. The both contain something called pectin, which limits the amount of fat your cells absorb because of its water binding properties. So next time you are strolling by the fruit section grab these tasty treats.

Ginger

If you are someone like myself and love to eat sushi than you more than likely have tried or seen ginger. Ginger has the potential to boost your metabolism and expand your blood vessels. Expansion of your blood vessels is great for us gym junkies as it aids our muscles bringing more nutrients to them. Aside for greater circulation it can also detoxify your body and has been shown to increase your metabolism by nearly 20%. So next time grab some ginger with your sushi, it’s great for you and great for weight loss.

Edamame

Another personal favorite of mine that also happens to be associated with sushi is Edamame or other known as soybeans. They contain something called lecithin, which assist your cells in fighting fat by making them less likely to accumulate fat. Lecithin can also be found in egg yolks, grains, and fish. Not only does it aid in weight loss it also has great benefits for cardiovascular health, liver and cell function. Soybeans have been also been to show arthritis relief, increased muscle endurance and cell communication. This is a great snack to carry during your day, and will help your weight loss goals as well.

Cinnamon

Known to have a ton of flavor cinnamon is also known to regulate blood sugar, which aids in keeping fat off. Cinnamon will also help in metabolizing sugar about twenty times faster in your body. Something I personally like making is apples and cinnamon for a great fat burning snack.

Cayenne Pepper

If you are someone that enjoys spicy foods like myself then this is also a great one to pick up. Cayenne Pepper has an ingredient called capsaicin, which can cause an increase in your metabolic rate and calorie burning after a meal. There are many studies that back this up on both humans and animals. Not only is a good metabolism stimulator it also has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. I like to enjoy cayenne pepper on my eggs in the morning or add to my meat dishes. This certain food will burn your mouth, but it will also burn your calories!

Conclusion

Now that I have given you 6 new foods that will aid you in weight loss and body fat reduction it’s time to go pick them up at the grocery store! Also, it’s important that I am not stating that these foods will MAKE or BREAK your diet however I do firmly believe they will add a little extra kick in your weight loss goals.
