Fat Killer 1: Coffee Raises Your Metabolism

Coffee is a real fat burner: It has very few calories and stimulates circulation. The blood vessels dilate, the heart beats faster and the circulation is stimulated. As a result of this, more fatty acids are circulated and dismantled. The caffeine in coffee also accelerates breathing. In addition, coffee drives your metabolism. Of course, it is best if you drink your coffee without milk or sugar.

Fat Killer 2: Water Can Decrease Calorie Consumption

Water is also a great fat burner. This may sound hard to believe, but it was proven by the Institute of Food Research eight years ago. Participants in the study drank about half a liter of water at room temperature. After this, the participants burned around 30% more calories for 30 minutes. The assumption is that water stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates your metabolism. Additionally, water fills the stomach and you will feel fuller. This only seems to work with still water though.

Fat Killer 3: Green Tea

In tea, there are a lot of polyphenols. These phytochemicals improve the rate at which our bodies burn fat. Additionally, green tea also contains zero calories!

Fat Killer 4: Chili

Chili is a spicy fat killer. The active ingredient in chili is capsaicin. Capsaicin boosts your metabolism and also increases your body temperature. This causes your body to burn additional calories at faster rates.

Fat Killer 5: Buttermilk

Researchers in Canada have found that calcium can help you lose weight too. Buttermilk contains a very high amount of calcium and is surprisingly low in fat. It is also very filling, keeping you full for longer.

Fat Killer 6: Legumes

After you eat legumes your blood sugar levels stay even for a long time. They also keep you feeling full. Both of these things help prevent food cravings. Some legume examples include chickpeas, pinto beans, peanuts, soybeans, and lentils.

Fat Killer 7: Lamb

Lamb contains proteins and L-carnitine. This is the vitamin-like substance that makes the meat into a fat killer. It can increase the burning of fat by a whopping 15 percent.

Fat Killer 8: Grapefruits

Grapefruit has many bitter substances that make it such a great way to burn fat. Since the bitter substances found in grapefruit fights off fat, it helps prevent fat deposits on both your hips and stomach.
