Papayas
Papaya’s fat-burning ability comes from its digestive enzyme, papain, which helps break down certain sugars and fats and helps absorb excess fat and sugar in our body. It also helps get rid of cellulite and is full of fibre, calcium, iron and vitamin C. Studies have shown that fermented papaya taken as a dietary supplement can help maintain physical and mental health and keep us in top shape.

Broccoli
Why is broccoli such a great fat-burning food? You can thank its high fibre content, which burns up lots of energy while digesting. Plus, it takes toxins and fats along with it as it moves through the digestive tract. It is also an excellent antioxidant high in vitamin C.

Pineapples
Bromelain is mainly found in fresh pineapple (not canned) and is an excellent anti-inflammatory, digestive aid and fat-burning enzyme. The pineapple, originally from Brazil and Paraguay, is rich in manganese, which improves the metabolic response of carbohydrates, amino acids and cholesterol. It also contains large amounts of vitamin C (antioxidant).

And we all know that oranges are chock full of vitamin C, so 1 + 1 = 2. Eating oranges on a regular basis will also help reduce your blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

Grapefruit
Like papaya, grapefruit is rich in papain, the enzyme that attacks fat molecules. We recommend eating grapefruit in the morning or before a meal so that it is most effective. It is also a fruit rich in vitamin C, minerals, and water, and is one of the most low-cal fruits around (about 36 calories for 100 grams).

Oat bran
A true appetite suppressant, oat bran (the outer shell of the grain) expands in the stomach, helping you feel full. Its fibres and pectins also trap fat and, since the body does not produce the enzymes needed to digest this food, it is quickly eliminated from the body along with the carbohydrates (sugars) and (lipids) fats that attach to it along the way. Just remember to always drink a lot of water when you eat oat bran!

Eggplant
The chlorogenic acid in eggplants has a positive impact on insulin sensitivity and in managing blood sugar, and also helps reduce blood lipid levels. Eggplants act like a sponge, soaking up toxins and fats in the body. The skin contains the most nutrients, but the flesh’s high water content also makes eggplant a great choice for weight loss.
