How to lose weight faster: Eating more of THIS food group helps burn belly fat

Following a healthy, balanced diet and exercising regularly is the best way to stay fit and healthy, but there are certain food groups that can help you lose weight more effectively.

Eating plenty of fibre helps promote weight loss and can even target belly fat, according to numerous scientific studies.

Fibre is an essential part of a healthy diet and can hep keep your digestive system in good working order.

It is found in many plant-based, carbohydrate-rich foods, such as wholemeal bread, fruit and vegetables and pulses.

Studies have shown that soluble fibre helps aid weight loss by helping you feel fuller longer.

It may also decrease the number of calories your body absorbs from food, according to a study publicised in the US National Library of Medicine.

There is even some evidence that fibre-rich foods help target belly fat specifically.

A study of 1,114 people over five years found eating 10 grams of soluble fibre per day was linked to a 3.7% reduction in the amount of fat in the abdominal cavity.

Adding high-fibre foods like flaxseeds, avocados, and blackberries to your every day diet could help speed up your weight loss.

Here are eight high-fibre foods to add to your shopping list:

1. Black Beans

2. Avocados

3. Broccoli

4. Nectarines

5. Flaxseeds

6. Oats

7. Blackberries

8. Wholemeal bread

Some foods have a very high thermogenic effect, so you literally burn calories as you chew. Other eats contain nutrients and compounds that can increase your metabolism.

Eating snacks with the right ratio of nutrients, with the right calories, will help keep you body energised and help you lose weight.

Protein fuels the growth of lean muscle mass, which boosts metabolic rate and increases calorie burn. While fibre helps improve digestion and keeps you from binging on fats and sugars.

1. Apples

2. Walnuts

3. Tuna

4. Edamame beans

5. Greek yogurt

6. Blueberries

7. Green tea

Green tea contains polyphenols like flavonoids and powerful antioxidants called Catechins, including Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG).
