Stocking up your supermarket trolley or digital shopping basket with these nutrient dense foods will help you to trim your belly while enjoying a host of other health benefits
ESPRESSO
Ditch the full-fat latte and have an espresso, especially before you hit the gym. The hit of caffeine will give you increased energy and focus, allowing you to train harder for longer to ignite the fat-burning process.
GREEN TEA
Green tea is picked earlier than black, so it retains more polyphenols and antioxidants. This means it can boost your metabolism – the rate at which you burn calories – which burns more body fat. It can also reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer, but possibly the best thing about green tea is that it tastes great without needing milk and sugar.
FIZZY WATER WITH LIME JUICE
Fizzy drinks are packed with flab-causing sugar, while the diet versions contain artificial sweeteners that are associated with insulin spikes, leading to weight gain, and bone-weakening phosphorus. Instead, squeeze lime juice into fizzy water. The juice lowers your blood sugar response to other foods to discourage fat storage.
BLUEBERRIES
With high levels of antioxidants, blueberries are effective at combating the damaging effects caused by exercise, pollution and other toxins. Have a handful as a snack or throw them into a smoothie to keep your body burning fat efficiently.
