The following foods stimulate the metabolism and burn more calories:
Green Tea: Experts believe that the catechins contained in green tea help burn belly fat. We should aim for three 8-ounce cups a day.
Cinnamon: Adding 1/4 to 1 teaspoon of this spice to hot cereal, marinades, smoothies, or yogurt will help blood sugar get into cells to be used for energy. As a result, less is stored as fat.
Chili Peppers: These wonder foods are packed with capsaicin, a compound which increases body temperature and metabolism. They are found in high quantities in hot salsa and many Thai and Indian curry dishes.
Yogurt: Both low-fat and regular yogurts contain probiotics. According to researchers, these "friendly" bacteria help reduce the amount of fat our bodies absorb.
