Dairy-Free Blueberry Muesli

Blueberries are one of the greatest health foods of all time, and they're a boon to anyone determined to lose fat. Blueberries contain pectin, a type of dietary fiber that limits the cells' capacity to absorb fat. Pectin is also known to make you feel fuller and for a longer time, so you will eat less during the day.

Oat and Buckwheat Muesli with Pears and Grapes

Indulging in a bowl of this super-healthy muesli for breakfast is a superb way to start your day. The oats it contains provide plenty of fiber and protein, while the pears deliver iodine. Iodine is necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland which controls the basal metabolic rate, that is, the rate at which the body consumes energy at rest. Iodine deficiency can result in sluggish thyroid activity which in turn can lead to fat gain or hinder fat loss.

Oat and Wheat Germ Muesli with Apples

Both oats and wheat germ are cram-full of B vitamins which help your body convert dietary fat, amino acids, and carbohydrates into energy. Several of the B vitamins also offer additional benefits to those who are looking to reduce their body fat percentage. For example, vitamin B3 may help those whose expanding waistline is linked to insulin resistance, a condition in which the body does not respond properly to insulin produced by the pancreas. What's more, the zinc contained in oats and wheat germ may increase the levels of circulating leptin, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating appetite as well as the body's energy expenditure and fat storage.

But the protein in this omelet is hardly its only fat loss promoting component: chili garlic sauce is packed with capsaicin, a natural compound that is famous for its ability to increase the body's heat production (thermogenesis), thereby increasing the rate at which the body burns carbohydrates and fats.
