Eat and Drink to Great Shape

Green Tea
Studies show that green tea extract boosts metabolism and may aid in weight loss. This mood-enhancing tea has also been reported to contain anti-cancer properties and help prevent heart disease.. It also has anti oxidant properties. Green tea is one of the main ingredients in most of the weight loss products. Japanese women have been able to control their weight compared to others and I believe their customs of drinking green tea actually contributes to this.


Soup
Eat less and burn fat faster by having a bowl of soup as an appetizer or a snack. Soup is a super appetite suppressant because it's made up of a hunger-satisfying combination of liquids and solids. Drinking soup before each meal will make you eat less especially carbohydrates such as rice, noodles etc..


Oatmeal
This heart-healthy favourite ranks high on the good carbohydrates list, because it's a good source of cholesterol-fighting, fat-soluble fiber (7 grams per 3/4-cup serving) that keeps you full and provides you with the energy you need to make the most of your workouts. Just add a tablespoon of oatmeal into your favourite hot beverage and it can be a satisfying and filling breakfast and or snack.
