TOP 10 NATURAL FAT BURNERS
Guacamole
Guacamole is one of the best fat-burning snacks that you can eat. Avocados are rich in vitamin B6. This vitamin knocks down levels of the stress hormone called cortisol (that is responsible for most of that stubborn belly fat). Another advantage of avocados is that they are full of monounsaturated fat. That kind of fat keeps fat distribution around the belly away and decreases any cravings to eat more for up to 4 hours.
Wild salmon
We’ve mentioned salmon a couple of times…because salmon is one of the best sources of health giving nutrients and vitamins. Salmon is also full of healthy fats and proteins. If you are a person who has just started to be active or you are active on daily basis, you probably know that proteins are the best source of fuel for our muscles and salmon is the best option for us as it contains such high levels. If you want to build muscles you need more proteins. As we said, salmon is full of healthy fats, also called anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, which activate fat burning in your body and also block fat storage and aid weight loss. Introducing wild salmon as a part of your diet also helps with reducing cravings.

It reduces your appetite, kills your body fat and minimizes cravings.
Almonds
Almonds are amazing, they taste great and help you to shift any additional weight you might be carrying.

It is not expensive and tastes amazing. Oolong tea combines characteristics from black and green tea. Oolong tea reduces stress and makes you feel calm (the tea contains theanine). Why do we recommend oolong tea? It has multiple health benefits. The tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.

Garlic is usually connected with bad smell (because of allicin which is responsible for the tangy taste and scent) but its benefits are bigger than you can ever imagine. People who add garlic to their dishes every day, metabolize sugar more efficiently and are able to help stop fat molecules from staying in the blood. Garlic is also good when you want to prevent catching cold and flu. Just blend 10 heads of peeled garlic cloves with juice from 15 lemons and add 3 spoons of honey. Leave it in a big, clean, hermetically closed jar in a dark cupboard for 2 weeks. We know it stinks but just 1 tea spoon of this wonder juice before sleep will have you on the way to becoming the healthiest person on earth.
