Here are 12 Veg foods that help you burn fat quickly:
(These foods are available in all the countries )
1.Beans
What’s one of the best foods you can eat to beat belly fat? Beans! Becoming a bean lover can help you lose weight and whittle your middle.Regular bean eaters have smaller waistlines and a 22 percent lower risk of obesity. Beans are loaded with soluble fiber, which promotes good bacteria in the gut, thus lowering inflammation linked to belly fat.Recommended eating 1 cup at every meal -- even breakfast! Also add beans salads .
2.Oats
Wrongly tarred with the "carb" brush, oats are a whole grain, and are high in soluble fiber, so they cut cholesterol and blood fat. They're also high on what nutritionists call the “satiety index,” meaning oats have tremendous power to make you feel full. Oats digest slowly, so they don’t raise your blood sugar, and they keep you feeling filled up well into the late morning. Oatmeal is, oddly enough, one of the best foods to help you sleep as well. Old-fashioned steel-cut and rolled oats, with up to 5 grams of fiber per serving, are best, but even instant oatmeal has 3 to 4 grams of fiber per serving.
3.Brocolli
A 1-cup serving of chopped, raw broccoli only has 30 calories, while the same amount of cooked broccoli has 54 calories. In return for so few calories, a cup of raw broccoli provides more than 100 percent of your daily vitamin C and vitamin K. It’s also a good source of folate and vitamin A and provides some vitamin B-6 and potassium as well. You'll get roughly double the nutrients in a cup of cooked broccoli, except for vitamin C, which is only slightly higher than raw broccoli because some is lost during cooking.
4.Brown rice
Brown rice is a heartier, fiber-packed alternative to less-than-super white rice. A half-cup serving contains 1.7 grams of Resistant Starch, a healthy carb that boosts metabolism and burns fat.
Plus, brown rice is a low-energy-density food, meaning it's heavy and filling but low in calories. One study found that women who ate a higher-energy-density diet gained three times as much weight over six years than women eating a low-energy-density diet.
5.Pears
Pears, like many other fruits, are a wealth of antioxidants that combat various diseases and conditions within the body, including obesity. That's because pears are high in fiber, which keeps you feeling fuller for longer, and are low in calories. Increased fiber intake has been linked to an enhanced weight loss for obese individuals. Antioxidant-rich pears can also help prevent or reduce the risk of a number of different types of cancer - colon, rectum, breast, prostate, and lung cancer
6.Lemons
Assuming you squeeze the juice from half a lemon into water, each glass of lemon water will contain just six calories.
For this reason, if you swap out higher-calorie beverages like orange juice and soda for lemon water, then this can be an excellent way to cut and help with weight loss.
For example, one cup of orange juice (237 ml) contains 110 calories, and a 16-ounce (0.49-liter) bottle of soda contains 182 calories .
Replacing even just one of these beverages per day with a glass of lemon water could reduce daily calorie intake by 100–200 calories.
Some evidence even shows that drinking low-calorie beverages with meals could decrease the number of overall calories consumed in the meal.
In one study, 44 women ate lunch with either a beverage that contained calories or one that did not. Researchers then measured the calories consumed.
They found that drinking calorie-containing beverages like sugar-sweetened soda, milk and juice with a meal did not make people compensate by eating less. Instead, the total calories consumed increased, due to the calories from the beverage .
Though lemon water is not calorie-free, it is low enough in calories that it could produce a similar effect and help decrease calorie intake.
7.Almonds
Almonds are an excellent source of protein, but they may also have significant fat-burning power. Eating almonds every day is associated with greater weight loss and higher fat metabolism. Indeed, eating plenty of almonds may reduce your levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, improve your lipid profile, and target fat burning in your belly area. Try to eat 1.5 ounces of almonds daily -- equivalent to a large handful of the nuts or approximately 30 to 35 almonds -- to stimulate fat burning. Almonds are high in healthy monounsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. In addition to snacking on whole almonds, you can bake with almond flour or add the nuts to a salad for extra crunch
8.Green Tea
Green tea is more than just hot, flavored water.
The bioactive substances in the tea leaves dissolve in the water and make it into the final drink.
When you drink a cup of quality tea, you're actually getting a large amount of beneficial substances with potent biological effects .
The best known of these is caffeine. A cup of green tea contains much less caffeine (24-40 mg) than a cup of coffee (100-200 mg), but still enough to have a mild effect.
Caffeine is a well known stimulant that has been shown to aid fat burning and improve exercise performance in numerous studies.
But where green tea really shines is in its massive range of antioxidants... being loaded with potent antioxidants called catechins.
The most important of these is EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), a substance that can boost metabolism.
Keep in mind that these benefits can be derived both from drinking green tea as a beverage, as well as taking green tea extract as a supplement. Most of the studies used extracts.
9.Tomatoes
In spite of being rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, protein and fibre, tomatoes are low in calories. One medium sized tomato contains only 16 calories. So, consuming two tomatoes will not only make you feel full but will also cut down your calorie intake and help you create that calorie deficit required to lose weight.
10.Chillies
The Canadian researchers suggest that adding chilli to a low-fat meal might be one way to help satisfy our craving for oils.
They also point out that it's in dieters' best interests to make their meals as delicious as possible, because the more we enjoy our food, the higher the level of thermogenesis.
But before you start adding chilli to your favourite fat-heavy foods, Dr Wendy Doyle of the British Dietetic Association sounds a note of caution.
'This research is very interesting, but for effective weight loss, one has to take a lot of other factors into consideration.
'There's no point eating a lot of chilli if you're also eating a high-fat diet and not getting any exercise, because you still won't lose weight.'
She says while chillies might help burn some of the excess calories from a high-fat diet, nutritionally, a lower fat, higher carbohydrate diet is still the best option, regardless of what our tastebuds tell us.
11.Banana
Calorie for calorie, bananas contain a lot of fiber.
One medium banana provides around 12% of your recommended daily intake, with just 105 calories.
Fiber is important for maintaining regular bowel habits, and plays a vital role in digestive health.
Eating high amounts of fiber has even been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, diverticular disease and some cancers.
An adequate fiber intake is also linked to reduced body weight .
One study measured the food intake of 252 women for 20 months. It found that for every extra gram of fiber the women ate per day, their body weight was around 0.55 lbs (0.25 kg) lower.
This effect is thought to occur because fiber makes you feel full for longer, which may help you eat fewer calories over the long term.
However, other studies have found that extra fiber in the diet does not affect people's fullness or calorie intake.
12.Flax Seeds
Ground flaxseeds or milled flaxseeds are more effective when it comes to weight loss. That’s because the whole flaxseeds contain a cover that makes it difficult for the digestive system of humans to absorb all the nutrients present in them. On the other hand, ground flaxseeds are more easily absorbed by humans. And the more easily they are absorbed, the more the chances of you getting all the essential fats, proteins, lignans, and dietary fiber present in them. You can buy whole flaxseeds from the supermarket and grind them into a powder or buy milled flaxseeds if available.
-Also you can add some egg whites to help you loose fat.
The simplest way to lose weight is to reduce your daily calorie intake.
One large egg contains only about 78 calories, yet is very high in nutrients. Egg yolks are especially nutritious .
An egg meal commonly consists of about 2–4 eggs. Three large boiled eggs contain less than 240 calories.
By adding a generous serving of vegetables, you're able to have a complete meal for only about 300 calories.
Just keep in mind that if you fry your eggs in oil or butter, you add about 50 calories for each teaspoon used
Cheers.Happy Fat burning !
