Imagine a world where there was no weight loss struggle, no cosmetic surgery, well, think no more as that world is here.
According to New York Times bestseller, Zero Belly Diet, the below foods will get your weight-loss goals on hyperspeed.

1. Grapefruit- Eating half a grapefruit before a meal can enhance your body’s fat-burning performance. A study published in the journal Metabolism found that this can help reduce your middle by up to an inch in just six weeks! The scientists attribute the powerful effects to the grapefruits’ fat-zapping phytochemicals. The fruit can interact negatively with certain medications, so as long as you get the green-light from your M.D, plan to have half of a grapefruit before your morning meal and add a few segments your starter salads to reap the benefits.
2. Green Tea- If you’re not drinking green tea with your workouts, you might be wasting your time. A study published in The Journal of Nutrition found that after just two weeks, exercisers who sipped four to five cups of green tea each day and logged 25-minutes at the gym lost more belly fat than their non tea drinking counterparts. What makes the drink so powerful? It contains catechins, an antioxidant that hinders the storage of belly fat and aids rapid weight loss.
3. Almonds- Think of each almond as a natural weight-loss pill. A study of overweight and obese adults found that, combined with a calorie-restricted diet, consuming a little more than a quarter cup of the nuts can decrease weight more effectively than a snack comprised of complex carbohydrates after just two weeks!  For optimal results, eat your daily serving before you hit the gym. A study printed in The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that almonds, rich in the amino acid L-arginine, can actually help you burn more fat and carbs during workouts.
