Clean Eating Foods For Fat Loss
Is there really such a thing as fat-burning foods? Yes, there is, and they are wholefood-based ingredients that take longer to digest, and require the body to expend more energy and burn calories to breakdown. These foods are often high in dietary fibre, which not only supports digestion, but the fibre also triggers the sensation of fullness, reducing the likelihood of overeating. Due to fat-burning foods take longer to break down, the slower digestive process can increase your caloric burn after eating, and in some cases, even be negative-caloric.

Strategically choose from a variety of fat-burning and low carb foods to ensure your best success.

HOW TO USE: Swap your morning coffee for a cup of green tea with lemon and enjoy before meals. Since green tea is high in caffeine, I recommend serving a cuppa in the mornings to avoid issues with sleep. It's lovely added to breakfast smoothies, made as a superfood latte, or added to baking if you use the powdered version.
Nuts & Seeds
Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds provide wholesome, healthy fats and protein to keep hunger at bay. They make a fabulous snack when paired with antioxidant-rich berries or other fruits as this help to slow down the impact of fructose on those impacted by sugar or with insulin resistance.

Sweet Potatoes
Rich in dietary fibre and vitamins, sweet potatoes provide slow-digesting carbs that keep energy levels stable. They are a more nutritious pick over regular white potatoes, especially is you serve them with the skin.
HOW TO USE: Roast sweet potato wedges for a healthy side dish or snack, or enjoy them baked in their jackets with healthy toppings like avocado adn fresh greens. You can air-fry sweet potatoes as chips, steam the spuds and use in smoothies, pies or other baking.
Plain Greek Yoghurt
High in protein and probiotics, plain Greek yoghurt supports gut health, which plays a role in fat metabolism. It usually quite satiating and can help reduce your appetite while on a weight loss journey. Be sure to choose the plain, sugar-free variety to avoid blood sugar level spikes and unnecessary sugar. Most flavoured varieties have lots of added sugar, so be sure to read labels and consider making your own flavoured yoghurt at home
HOW TO USE: Enjoy a small serving topped with fresh berries, nuts, seeds and homemade granola. Greek yoghurt is also often used in dips and baking recipes, try a simple dip with a few scoops blended with garlic, dillweed, and cracked pepper.
