8 “fat-burning” foods that help you stay slim, according to a gastroenterologist

If they can't literally melt you, certain foods have the property of helping you fight fat and thus help you maintain your figure. On TikTok, a doctor targets “8 allies” to integrate into your diet.

Would you like to lose some curves? This generally involves resuming or continuing physical activity and a balanced diet. But in this quest, certain foods can be your allies. In a TikTok post, Dr. Saurabh Sethi, an American gastroenterologist revealed 8 foods that he considers fat burners. Be careful though, none of them will melt away your excess pounds like magic. But they will help you stay in shape and are excellent to adopt on a daily basis.

Green tea and coffee

Good news for those who can't do without their steaming cup. According to the expert, green tea and coffee help with weight loss by “promoting fat oxidation and stimulating the metabolism“. Fat oxidation is the process by which the body breaks down fat molecules to convert them into energy. Of course, this effect is not the same if you add cream and sugar…

Berries

Whether raspberries, strawberries or even blueberries, berries are rich in antioxidants, fiber and “help regulate blood sugar, and thus promote weight loss”, explains the specialist. To grab without scruples.

Chili peppers

Red, green or orange, chili peppers contain capsaicin, which on the one hand increases the feeling of satiety and on the other hand stimulates the metabolism by burning more calories and fat. However, consume in moderation.

Greek yogurt

As for yogurt, opt for a Greek version, or even Skyr, according to Dr. Saurabh Sethi. This version would indeed help to lose pounds, thanks to its “high content of proteins and probiotics”, which would help with weight management.

Nuts and seeds

“Rich in healthy fats and protein, nuts and seeds promote fat burning,” indicates the gastroenterologist in his publication. Eating a handful of seeds or nuts each day can further enhance the effects of weight loss, while also giving you energy.

Eggs

Eggs are an undeniable source of protein, as the gastroenterologist points out in his publication, and can be eaten first thing in the morning. In fact, they contain 30.8 g of protein per 100 g. In addition, their caloric intake is moderate and they also promote satiety, adds the expert. However, it is advisable not to use too much fat when cooking them.

Coconut oil

According to the gastroenterologist, coconut oil contains a fatty acid from the medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) family, which are used by the body instead of being stored. It would also stimulate metabolism.

About author

I pass by being that person liable to duty, but who cannot resist the flights of imagination. I have always loved the legends, the myths and the stories of the old and distant times with my whole being. In high school I fell in love with the history of art and I made it the object of my university studies. Once I graduated, I dusted off an old flame: that of children's literature. I rediscovered the beauty and importance of illustrated books and books, where, to a quality text, images are added that give strength and enrich what is narrated with meaning. It can be said that illustrators often make real works of art! It was then that I decided to follow this passion of mine both as a volunteer, entering the ranks of readers born to read, and in my work as a librarian. I am a greedy devoured of illustrated books (I have an absolute weakness for the stories that have bears or wolves as protagonists!), I love simple stories that know how to strike and surprise. I hate pigeon-holed books in a specific age group and readers in a certain category of readings. I think everyone is different and deserves to choose (and be chosen by the books) without constraints, in complete freedom! [email protected]
