We all know that there is no magic pill you can take to lose weight immediately. But – there are some things you can take to speed up weight loss, a lot.
When you are on a healthy diet with a regular weight loss plan, you can introduce some supplements or vitamins into your routine that can help your body get the most benefits out of the healthy lifestyle steps you are already taking. We put together a list of the best supplements to take regularly to melt belly fat.
Probiotics
One of the best types of supplements you can take to get rid of belly fat are probiotics. This type of vitamins introduces important bacteria into your gut to provide balance, improve digestion and get rid of inflammation. This means that taking probiotics regularly on top of a healthy diet can get you visible results, when you want to see them. The best way to get a healthy amount of probiotics is by eating yogurt in the mornings.
Calcium
Probiotics are not the only benefits of yogurt. Another great supplement you should have is calcium - which is also found in yogurt. Calcium supports weight loss because it can prevents fat from entering your cells, according to some studies.
Green tea extract
Green tea is believed to aid in weight loss for a few reasons. For one thing, it is a powerful anti-inflammatory. But it can also boost your metabolism throughout the day so it is easier for your body to burn fat. You can drink a cup of green tea in the morning, or take a green tea extract supplement once a day to reap the benefits of this powerful nutrient.
Omega-3
Omega-3 fatty acids are another excellent supplement for getting rid of belly fat because it reduces hunger and appetite, so you are less likely to crave extra snacks throughout the day. It also increases your metabolism so your body burns more calories. You can get extra Omega-3 into your diet by eating more fish, like salmon or bass. You can also find it as a supplement.
