Why not make losing that belly fat a little easier?
Exercise is an important part of losing and maintaining a healthy weight, what you eat is the trump card. It is what matters the most.
To that end, we have formulated the perfect fat-burning morning drink that revs up your metabolism and helps you feel full and satisfied most of the day. The primary ingredients are banana and coconut, here are some more in-depth details on these two foods:
Weight Loss Benefits of Banana
Bananas contain fiber and resistant starch, which support weight loss. They’re also a nutritious, low-energy-density food, which is good for dropping pounds. And they don’t live up to their once bad reputation of being a diet-wrecking fruit to avoid.
Yes indeed, bananas have weight loss properties. A single banana has 108 calories, which amounts to 17.5 grams of carbohydrates. Our body needs carbohydrates for smooth body functioning and excess carbohydrates can lead to weight gain.
They also contain pectin, which leaves you feeling fuller for a longer time. This makes bananas ideal for any weight loss program.
Weight Loss Benefits of Coconut
As it turns out, coconut has properties that can keep you fuller longer. “The fat content in coconut is a medium-chain triglyceride, which helps with satiety,” says Lisa Cohn, R.D. Plus, the fruit provides sugar for quick energy while the fat digests slowly.
That winning combo gives you long-lasting energy and prevents hunger and cravings by keeping your blood sugar levels in check.
Bonus: If you’re trying to cut back on carbs to lose weight, coconut is pretty low in that macronutrient. For example, a tablespoon of unsweetened coconut flakes has only 3.5 grams of carbs, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
And since the sugar in coconut is flavorful, easily absorbed, and unprocessed, it mixes well with freshly prepared smoothies and cooked foods that fit your low-carb plan.
