Want to speed up fat burning while doing nothing? Give these 3 superfoods a whirl. They’ll help boost your metabolism AND burn up calories. Chilli Just as this spice can set alight your taste buds and make your eyes and nose run, it spices things up on the inside, too. Chillies and peppers contain capsaicin, a chemical that gets the system racing and makes your body more likely to burn calories than convert them to fat. Some studies suggest your body is 25% more efficient at burning fat for up to 3 hours after eating capsaicin-containing foods. Ginger his woody spice creates bodily heat that kick starts your fat burning system. Avoid ginger too close to bedtime when you want to calm down as it’s a stimulant. Grate it into soups, curries and salads (go easy – it’s strong) or chop up a few slices and gently simmer in water for a reviving, spicy drink. Brown rice Your body burns this grain slowly so it helps to keep you satisfied for longer because your blood sugar is kept at an even level. Brown rice also contains a powerful combination of B vitamins essential for fat burning, and helps clear liver congestion, too. It’s a nice thought that you can lose weight while in an armchair, but to really boost your metabolism you will need to exercise more. Muscles take more energy to maintain than fat, so exercising hard to firm up your body will release more fat to maintain them. #DynamoPerformance
