The type of food we consume is crucial for our metabolism. It’s true that the more calories we consume, the more fat we build. However there are certain foods that could be consumed to our advantage by actually burning fat.

By eating citrus and other fruits such as; lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits that are full of vitamin C and flavonoids, we assist our body with the fat‐burning process.

Red apples and berries are rich in pectin which stabilizes the glucose levels in our blood, reducing cholesterol and preventing fat cells from growing.

Avoid junk food and replace it with healthy meals and fresh vegetables.

Make sure that your daily intake of liquids is sufficient to keep your body well- hydrated. Drink a recommended 6-8 glasses of water for hydration and detoxification. Herbal teas and green tea can also be included as they provide us with powerful antioxidants.

Eat foods that are rich in fibre as they will make you feel satiated whilst staying clear of  tempting, calorie-laden sweets and snacks.
