Green tea contains an antioxidant polyphenol called epigallocatechin gallate.

Commercial beverages with green tea extract, which also carry sugar or sweetener, are not valid. To make it fat burning you must prepare it with leaf tea and without sugar. Take 4 cups a day to get the best results. You will lose 700 g in a month.

3. OLIVE OIL
Oil (that is, fat) to burn fat? It is not a contradiction if you eat foods rich in “good” fats you will make it easier for the body to eliminate white fat and replace it with brown fat, a type of body fat that helps burn more calories because it is responsible for maintaining the body temperature. Among all good fats, we recommend olive oil because it has been shown to activate brown fat.

4. LENTILS
Take them once a week for three reasons: they contain iron that facilitates the combustion of fat; Vitamin B12 is essential to convert fat into energy and vitamin B3 which also helps burn fat. That does avoid cooking them with very fatty ingredients such as chorizo.

To take advantage of all these benefits, take 5 nuts a day.

This way you increase the number of calories you consume even without moving. If you can, choose organic apples free of pesticides.

9. CHOCOLATE
It seems incredible, but chocolate – although it contains monounsaturated fat – helps burn belly fat. Of course, to benefit from these effects, the chocolate you choose must have a high cocoa content (at least 85%). So you know, you can treat yourself to eating an ounce every day after meals.

10. GUACAMOLE

Add Chile Serrano to cubits (in the quantity that you like, as it is very spicy) to enhance the effect.

11. BROCCOLI

Sprinkle with extra virgin olive oil, lightly toasted garlic and paprika. Healthy and delicious
