How are you doing? Why are we here? Today I am addressing this topic that some of you have been searching answers for.
Let me break it to you, no food, supplement or training can magically "burn fat". If you're looking to make it easier for yourself, however, there are tons of options that can make the journey to a fitter you more enjoyable.
Tiredness, moodiness, weakness are just some of the potential negative effects of the quest to lose body fat - especially when you're already lean and you're really trying to dig further into those fat stores. I personally don't suggest getting overly shredded due to the potential negative health effects (especially for females), but hey, you do you! If your burning desire is to do a comp or photoshoot then it will necessarily involve some extra hard work and potentially diving into short-term health risks which need to be managed.
If you're like most of us and you just want to feel and look great naked, then know that it all starts from within. You could have a 6 pack and still feel uncomfortable in your own skin. When you're confident, it shows. Everyone is a work in progress - many of your fitness idols may not be as self-assured as you think!
Ok, once we get that out the way, if you're looking to lean down because you feel like it will make you look or feel better, then let's get on with it!
Seriously though... do foods that help you burn fat exist?
Not really.
However... some foods can make it easier for you to stick to your shred goals.
If you want to go further with less angst, opt for high-volume foods that are filling (like our good friend fibre), and foods that will help you preserve that precious lean muscle mass (protein! plus it will keep you satiated too).
Here's some foods that do the rounds when I'm looking to lean out:
