This is a great way to make your diet work for you especially if your goal to lose some stubborn bodyfat – that just won’t go way. Of all of the functional foods out there, ginger has arguably the most functions and benefits. It’s used to settle the stomach, reduce pain, and it has antibiotic/ anti-inflammatory properties. The most important function of this food, is that studies show that ginger can boost metabolism in 2 outlets:
- By causing muscle tissue to use more oxygen, which increases the amount of calories you burn
- Increasing the lactic acid production, which also increases your fat burning potential
One more note, I’ve been receiving quite a few questions regarding coffee and how it is suppost to burn fat. Well that is completely false. Caffeine is a stimulant and causes a surge of energy to the nervous system and causes the body to release catecholamines, which target fat cells and use bodyfat for fuel. This is why coffee is a noted fat-burner.
Here is the problem: when coffee is combined with carbohydrates (mainly the sugar you dump in) the fat-burning potential is stunned and causes a subsequent rise in the fat-storing hormone called insulin. The only way to burn fat from this, is by the absence of insulin, and then the catecholamines can burn more fat.
