1. Green Tea
Number one? Green tea. "Green tea, along with its naturally occurring caffeine and just the right amount, helps to target that belly fat," she says.
Green Tea Offers Lots of Other Benefits
Green tea offers more health benefits than just weight loss. Numerous studies have shown that a variety of teas may boost your immune system, fight off inflammation, and even ward off cancer and heart disease.
2. Eggs
Number two is eggs. "Eggs contain choline, especially in the yolk, which, when you're low in choline, you actually tend to make more visceral fat around your organs, which is very dangerous for your overall health," she says.
Eat the Whole Egg
She recommends eating the whole egg, including the yolk. According to the USDA, one large egg boasts 6 grams of protein, almost 5 grams of fat, and about 72 calories.
3. Fish and Seafood
Number three is fish and seafood. This is due to their "really important" contribution of electrolytes, "helping your metabolism and your mitochondrial health," she says.
4. Olive and Avocado Oil
Number four? "Olive oil and other healthy fats like avocado oil as well," she says. One 2020 study found that drinking olive oil daily reduced body weight, waist circumference, and inflammatory factors over a two-month time period.
