7 Fat Fighting Foods
by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD
These 7 popular foods can help fight fat or reduce bloating, and they’re all part of the 3 Weeks to Shredded and Living Lean personalized, online programs!
1. Greek Yogurt
This type of yogurt naturally has more protein than the regular variety. It’s also packed with probiotics, which help reduce belly bloat.
2. Blueberries
These little guys pack a big healthy punch! Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which allow for more blood flow to working muscles, which can mean a better overall workout!
3. Eggs
Eggs are considered a perfect protein (with yolks included)! Eggs keep you feeling fuller longer, which means less overeating.
4. Green Tea
Green tea contains ECGC – or epigallocatechin gallate – which speeds up the metabolism and helps melt fat. This is a wonderful alternative to afternoon coffee.
5. Wild-caught Salmon
Salmon is a great source of Omega-3, which revs up the metabolism, and it’s a powerful protein source! Salmon is also a fantastic source of Vitamin D, which helps reduce inflammation.
6. Red Peppers
Studies have shown that the compounds found in red peppers, lycopene and beta carotene, help prevent fat storage.
7. Mushrooms
These are the only plant source that naturally contains Vitamin D. Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce bloating.
