BEIJING, Sept. 9 (Xinhuanet) -- It's a dream come true to eat healthy and lose weight at the same time. The secret is whether you have your zero belly food list. Seven kinds of low fat food that can shut the hunger hormones are recommended.
Oysters are one of the best food sources of zinc, a mineral that works with leptin to regulate appetite. A half-dozen oysters only has 43 calories but provides 21 percent of your RDA of iron.
Red apples are an excellent source of hunger-busting fiber. A recent study at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center found that for every additional 10 grams of soluble fiber eaten per day, a study subject’s belly fat was reduced by 3.7 percent over five years.
Mix white vinegar with honey, salt and other ingredients to make the zero belly drink. White vinegar is composed mostly of acetic acid, which is believed to delay gastric emptying and slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream, according to a study published in the journal BMC Gastroenterology.
Rooibos tea is absolutely zero belly star because it contains a kind of flavonoid called Aspalathin, which reduce stress hormones that trigger hunger and fat storage.
Although potatoes are starch-rich food, but in fact, plain boiled potatoes are the most filling food as well. To maximize their zero belly benefits, throw them in the refrigerator and make a potato salad. The cooling process will crystallize the tubers into resistant starch, which takes longer to break down in your intestine, producing fat-burning butyrate and delaying hunger pangs.
Research has proved halibut's high protein content and levels of tryptophan, the latter producing serotonin, one of the hormones that curbs hunger.
Eggs. A study published in the journal Nutrition Research said egg yolks contain choline, a nutrient with powerful fat-burning properties. In other words, a protein-rich breakfast with egg can set your fat-burning pace for your entire day.
