It’s a widely known that buying the right foods at the grocery store helps keep your dieting goals on track. But some foods pull more than their weight – literally. Here are some foods that help you burn belly fat.

Beans

Beans are loaded with soluble fiber, which eliminates inflammation in your digestive system. Having chronic inflammation can increase your weight gain.

Yogurt

A study showed that obese adults who ate three servings of fat-free yogurt a day (as well as being on a reduced-calorie diet) lost significantly more fat and weight than those who were also on a decreased-calorie diet but didn’t have yogurt. The yogurt eaters lost 22% more weight and 61% more body fat than the others in the research group, according to WebMD.

Red bell peppers

A cup of bell peppers will give you three times the amount of vitamin C recommended for your daily intake. The great news is vitamin C is fantastic at fighting belly fat, according to Eat This, Not That. So, load up on these delicious veggies.

Broccoli

Like bell peppers, broccoli is high in vitamin C. Pair it with some hummus and you’ve got a power meal.
