11 Fat Burning Foods You Should Try For Weight Loss!

fat burning foodsYou’ve been exercising, eating in measured quantities, counting your calorie intake, controlling cravings, and drinking plenty of water. Yet, even after 5–6 weeks of doing everything right, the scale refuses to budge. You start to wonder—could it be your food choices? Quite possibly. But don’t worry—try these fat-burning foods which may boost your metabolism and support your weight loss journey.

Fat Burning Foods For Weight Loss

  1. Eggs:
    Often called a nutritional powerhouse, eggs top the list as a complete food. High in protein and healthy fats, they keep you fuller for longer. People who include eggs in their breakfast tend to experience fewer cravings throughout the day, along with improved waist circumference and body fat reduction.
  2. Green Tea:
    A potent antioxidant, green tea triggers fat cells to release stored fat for energy. It may also reduce body fat and lower cholesterol. Its flavonoids and phytochemicals are known to boost metabolism and aid recovery after intense workouts.
  3. Nuts & Seeds:
    Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds are rich in micronutrients like magnesium, selenium, and zinc. These healthy fats curb hunger and may help reduce belly fat. Flaxseeds are particularly high in fibre and mucilage, creating a sense of satiety when soaked in water.
  4. Fatty Fish:
    Fish like salmon, herring, sardines, and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation. Their high-quality protein supports lean muscle mass, increases metabolism, and enhances fat burning—even at rest.
  5. Avocados:
    Packed with monounsaturated fats and minerals like potassium and magnesium, avocados reduce bloating, aid nutrient absorption, and support digestion. Their healthy fats and fibre also help you feel full for longer.
     
  6. Leafy Greens:
    Kale, spinach, and collard greens are loaded with magnesium and iron, which reduce stress and aid oxygen flow. Stress is often linked with weight gain, so leafy greens can indirectly support weight loss while being easy to incorporate into your meals.
  7. Probiotics like Yoghurt:
    Probiotics improve gut health, reduce bloating, enhance immunity, and promote better nutrient absorption. A balanced gut may lead to a faster metabolism. Natural yoghurt (unsweetened) is a widely available probiotic option in the UK.
     
  8. Spices (Pepper & Cinnamon):
    Pepper contains capsaicin, which burns belly fat and boosts energy conversion. Cinnamon helps cells absorb glucose more efficiently. Both may help reduce water retention and salt cravings while supporting fat metabolism.
  9. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV):
    Taking ACV before meals may slow carb digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes—one of the causes of fat storage. It also supports digestion and helps you feel full sooner.
  10. Legumes:
    Beans, peas, chickpeas, and lentils offer protein, fibre, and complex carbs. They support muscle formation and slow the release of sugars into the bloodstream, promoting sustained energy and fat loss.
  11. Healthy Oils (Coconut & Olive Oil):
    Coconut oil contains MCTs that suppress hunger and aid fat burning, while olive oil improves insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Both can support metabolism and satiety when used in moderation.

Add these foods to your weight loss plan mindfully. Always consult your GP, dietitian, or nutritionist—especially if you have any allergies or pre-existing health conditions.

Curious case of my ‘Bullet Proof Coffee’

bulletproof-coffee

I have been having ‘Bullet Proof Coffee’ and guess what? every time I post a picture of my cuppa coffee on social media, it has raised immense curiosity and next I know, I am flooded with messages asking me what is this ‘Bullet Proof Coffee’?

It all started with me undertaking ‘Intermittent fasting’ (IF). This is an age old concept and has been a secret to health. However, for many decades this concept was forgotten. But, now many nutrition and lifestyle experts are once again bringing back this concept of fasting and recommending it to people as it comes with huge benefits if done in the right manner. The benefits are weight loss through fat burning, increased energy through the day, improve over health, simplify lifestyle among many others.

What is Intermittent Fasting? It is a concept where you fast for almost 12-14 hours. One can choose to fast how they want. IF is not about which foods you eat but more about when you eat. It’s all about following an ‘eating pattern’. In definition, IF is a term for an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.

I chose to fast between dinner and lunch the next day a period of approximately 12-14 hours and this is part of my everyday routine. I have my dinner between 7.30 pm and 8 pm and only have water in between. Next morning around 8.30 am, I have a ‘Bullet Proof Coffee’ which is quite heavy and keeps me full and not crave for food till lunch at around 1 pm. After my lunch, I eat enough for a period of 8 hours and end with dinner at 8 pm.

Coming to your curiosity on what is ‘Bullet Proof Coffee’ and how I make it?  

BPC was invented in the US by David Asprey, an entrepreneur, businessman and author from Albuquerque. Bullet Proof Coffee is nothing but Coffee with butter and oil.

My Bullet Proof Coffee is however Indianised and is very easy to prepare.

Method:

1. Brew 1 cup of coffee using filtered water, just off the boil, using 2 1/2 heaping tablespoons freshly ground Blue Tokai Coffee beans

  1. Add in 1 tablespoons of MCT Oil to the hot coffee (It’s STRONG – start with 1 tsp. and work up over several days).
  2. Add 1-2 tablespoons white butter
  3. Mix it all in a blender for 20-30 seconds until it is nice and frothy like a latte

Benefits of Bullet Proof Coffee:

  • Bulletproof coffee can help prevent diabetes and also protect the liver, lower the risk of stroke, and help the brain fight depression.
  • It reduces cravings
