Cayenne peppers specifically contain a substance called capsaicin that makes them taste very hot.
This causes thermogenesis to occur, which is a process that happens when the body is cold and burns fat to bring itself back to a warmer temperature.
It happens when the capsaicin binds to the heat receptors when these peppers are eaten. That is why you always hear of cayenne as a “fat burner.”
Eating peppers and spicy foods has also been shown to increase metabolism and help curb appetite. So it’s really a win-win here!
4. Avocados
Misguided advice has led people to believe that they should avoid avocados when trying to lose fat because they are so high in fat. This is simply not true.
While it’s not a good idea to eat too much every day, healthy fats are still vital to a healthy, balanced diet and can absolutely help you LOSE fat.
