Fat-Burning Foods

Losing weight—and keeping the pounds off—isn’t a fast or simple process, but a few simple diet tips can come in handy and help to simplify it. Some of the most popular tricks assume eating lots of fiber, healthy carbs, and protein, which together make a perfect mix that boosts your metabolism and helps to feel full during the whole day.

How to include these fat-burning ingredients into your daily menu? If you are new to this and don’t have deep knowledge of proper nutrition, take a look at these recipes! Each of the recipes provided below includes at least one calorie-burning ingredient that will help you to lose weight fast and easily, and the best thing is that they all can be made within 30 minutes or even less!

1) Broccoli & Feta Omelet with Toast

This is a delicious and easy recipe for breakfast, which takes just 15 minutes to cook, and thanks to the unique mix of healthy components it will provide you with energy and vitamins for the whole day, meanwhile burning extra pounds!

The broccoli provides your body with fiber (and contains only 30 calories per serving), while the protein-loaded eggs curb appetite and will help to avoid overeating in the morning.

You will need:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 2 tablespoons feta cheese,
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • 2 slices rye bread, toasted
  1. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray. Add broccoli, and cook 3 minutes.

2) Honey Grapefruit with Banana

If you want to slim down or keep up a good shape

, there is nothing better for you than a fruit salad, which is equally good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many studies have shown that grapefruit is one of the most effective products for weight loss!

Moreover, grapefruit is deceptively filling. Among other fruits, grapefruit has one of the highest level of water concentrations (about 90% of its weight is water), and all that juice fills you up fast and prevents overeating.

For this recipe cut banana and grapefruit, mix and season your salad with a bit of honey.
