10 Common Foods That Help in Burning Tummy Fat

Image
We all know belly fat is extremely hard to shed and is therefore called stubborn fat. Belly fat can be of two types – subcutaneous fat (layer beneath the skin) and visceral fat (around the muscles and around abdominal organs). Of these two, visceral fat is considered dangerous because it is linked to high risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other life-threatening disorders. As we have mentioned above, even with strict dieting and intense exercise routines, belly bulge may refuse to budge, but certain foods work better than others in helping burn tummy fat. In this post, we list down 10 common foods can do the trick. 1.

10 Foods That Contribute The Most To Weight Gain

Image
While we tend to associate anything with “fat” written on it as a high-calorie food, there are certain other foods that contribute in a much more significant way in adding a lot of calories, most of them empty, i.e., devoid of any nutritional value, and that’s why they contribute to fat storage more than others. Particularly, those with added sugar not only have high amount of calories, they also raise inflammation, and make it extremely difficult to lose weight. Regular consumption of such foods will lead to weight gain and obesity over time, so it’s important to weed them out of your diet not only to avoid weight gain but to get healthy as well. 1. Margarine: Made with vegetable oils, it is extremely high in calories, and there’s a huge misconception that replacing butter with margarine is a healthy choice because it has low fat content, but the truth is that margarine is made from vegetable oils, salt, and emulsifiers that can raise inflammation in the body, and lead to belly fat....

Eating Fats Wont Make you Fat, But These Things Will!

Image
Whoever told you eating fats would make you fat, has got his/her facts absolutely wrong! Eliminating fats is an absolutely wrong strategy to follow while trying to lose wight and rarely works. In fact, there is growing evidence that consuming “fats” in the right amount can actually motor up the whole “fat burning” process inside the body. The problem is that when people cut out healthy fats from their diet, the scope to include sugar and refined foods increases. Each molecule of fat provides 9 calories per gram, whereas protein and carbs provide 4 calories each, so fat can keep you full for longer, reduce cravings and frequent snacking. Healthy fats boost metabolism and our body needs them for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E which are necessary in the fat-burning process. In fact, the meal plans on Rati Beauty diet include a variety of healthy fats that can help you drop weight. On the contrary, if you have to cut anything out, do cut out these things mentioned...
