What are the 6 best foods for burning fat and reducing blood sugar, all at the same time?

1) Chili peppers contain a wealth of powerful antioxidants, including CAPSAICIN, which can trigger a series of events that can influence metabolism, potentially improving your body’s ability to burn fat. Capsaicin has also been found to influence fat burning because of a process known as THERMOGENESIS – or the production of heat in the body.

2) Black coffee is an excellent source of CAFFEINE - which can work to significantly increase RESTING METABOLIC RATE (RMR) – or the number of calories the body burns while at rest. So a heightened RMR will allow for more calories to be burned throughout the day, even during periods of inactivity.

3) Salmon supplies a good amount of OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS - which work to increase LIPID OXIDATION – or the process of burning fat for energy. It's also a good source of LEAN PROTEIN – which works to slow digestion, thereby helping to stabilize post-meal blood sugar levels.

4) Green tea is another great source of CAFFEINE - which increases thermogenesis. It also supplies antioxidant CATECHINS, specifically EPIGALLOCATECHIN GALLATE (EGCG). Studies show that the catechins within green tea can have a positive impact on metabolism and fat oxidation.

5) Almonds a good source of fiber, which slows digestion and aids blood sugar control. They are also an excellent source of plant-based PROTEIN, which further aids satiety, slows digestion, and helps increase lean muscle mass – all benefits in the fight against obesity and diabetes. The Journal Of The American College Of Nutrition showed that regularly consuming almonds can lead to an increase in Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).

6) Lentils hold a treasure trove of diabetes-fighting, weight-burning nutrients, including 18 grams of plant-based protein per serving, plus 15 grams of fiber, along with folate, iron, manganese, potassium, and selenium. Plus, lentils are an excellent source of PREBIOTIC FIBER – which feeds healthy gut bacteria. A study published in the journal Obesity suggested that regularly eating lentils can work to improve gut bacteria composition, thus boosting metabolism and reducing fat accumulation.
