15 Things You Can Eat Or Drink To Burn More Calories

Whether you’re vegetarian, pescatarian, or don’t subscribe to any specific eating plan at all, you can enrich your diet with food that works harder for you. We know “fat-burning” food sounds too good to be true. And, while experts have conflicting opinions on whether one food type can burn fat on its own, they all agree you can see results by incorporating more food that spikes metabolism, enhances digestion, and helps you feel full. Ahead, find your cheat sheet for what to shop on your next grocery trip.

Probiotic-rich food

If you’re still unsure about kombucha, you might want to give the probiotic tea another try—if only for its fat-burning potential. “The probiotics in fermented food, such as kimchi and unsweetened kefir or yogurt, facilitate your digestive system’s ability to break food down better, meaning you get more nutrients out of the other foods you eat, which leads to better satiety,” notes Ariane Resnick, certified nutritionist and special-diet chef to celebrity clients such as Pink and Gwyneth Paltrow.

“Yogurt, particularly Greek yogurt, contains protein that requires more calories to digest than carbohydrates,” explains Green Chef registered dietician Gabriele Geerts. “Since protein digestion is more complex, it keeps your body feeling full for longer.” Will Cole, functional medicine practitioner and author of Ketotarian, also suggests sauerkraut, adding, “Science is finally starting to recognize the importance of your gut microbiome and the role it plays in your overall health, including your metabolic rate. An unfavorable balance of gut bacteria can lead to a slowed metabolism and increased weight.”
