Spices To burn fat, you don't always need to eat steamed vegetables; experiment with new flavors using spices. There are many spices around the world, some even define the cuisine of a region. Start cooking with spices; many of them have properties that boost metabolism while adding a lot of flavor to your dishes. For example: mustard seed helps with metabolism, ginger aids digestion, ginseng boosts your energy, black pepper helps burn calories, and turmeric helps break down body fat. So what are you waiting for? Start cooking delicious dishes with all kinds of spices. Ginger Cake. This ginger cake is delicious with whipped cream.   2. Nuts Nuts are a food that all diet plans include. Commonly known as dried fruits, they are a very important friend for vegetarians due to their nutritional content. Just a small daily amount of almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc., can be a snack that will always make you feel good. We recommend using these ingredients in your favorite recipes like desserts, snacks, salads, and stews in general to start benefiting from the good fats they contain, which also add a lot of flavor to your dishes.
