Doctor Top loves avocados as a top fat-burning food. "These creamy fruits are packed with healthy monounsaturated fats and fiber," he says. "They help keep you full, stabilize blood sugar, and boost metabolism. Add them to salads, make guacamole, or enjoy them on their own. Aim for half an avocado daily."

Salmon

Doctor Top recommends wild-caught salmon for its excellent, high-quality protein content. "It's rich in omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein," he says. "Omega-3s reduce inflammation and may help your body burn fat more efficiently. Protein keeps you satiated and preserves muscle mass during weight loss. Enjoy salmon 2-3 times a week for optimal benefits."

Coconut Oil

Doctor Top loves coconut oil as a healthy fat. "It contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that your body can quickly turn into energy," he says. "This can boost your metabolism and help you burn more fat. Use it for cooking or add a tablespoon to your morning coffee for a keto-friendly energy boost."

Eggs

Doctor Top is a big fan of eggs, which are not only relatively low in calories but packed with nutrients. "They're a nutritional powerhouse, rich in protein and healthy fats," he says. "Eggs can increase feelings of fullness, reducing overall calorie intake. They also contain choline, which supports fat metabolism. Don't fear the yolks – that's where most of the nutrients are!"
