Regardless of a person’s overall weight, having a large amount of belly fat<\/a> raises the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and a greater risk of health problems. While working out and maintaining a healthy diet are beneficial, some lifestyle changes can also boost your belly fat loss journey.<\/p>\n

On April 8, Kush Malhotra, a fitness and nutrition expert, shared drinks to help burn belly fat. He listed drinks such as black coffee<\/a>, apple cider vinegar, and green tea in the video and highlighted the benefits of each.<\/p>\n

Drinks that burn belly fat<\/p>\n

\u29bf Number 1: Black coffee (sugar-free)<\/p>\n

According to the fitness trainer, black coffee contains polyphenols and caffeine, which help stabilise blood sugar levels. \u201cIt boosts your metabolism<\/a>, thereby aiding you in achieving fat loss,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to a report <\/a>from Stanford University, studies indicate that black coffee can increase metabolic rate by 3 to 11 per cent, boosting fat oxidation and prompting the body to burn fat for fuel.<\/p>\n

\u29bf Number 2: Apple cider vinegar<\/p>\n

Apple cider vinegar (ACV), according to Kush, helps keep your blood sugar levels stable after meals \u2013 particularly when you consume a high-carbohydrate meal. However, the fitness trainer cautioned, \u201cAlways remember to dilute the apple cider vinegar with water before consuming it; do not take it as a straight shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a June 2024 study <\/a>published in the BMJ Journals, daily consumption of three doses of ACV for 4-12 weeks is associated with significant reductions in weight, body mass index, waist-to-hip circumference, body fat ratio, blood glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n

\u29bf Number 3: Green tea<\/p>\n

\u201cGreen tea boosts your metabolism and enhances fat oxidation, which assists you in shedding belly fat,\u201d the fitness trainer highlighted. According to a 2012 PubMed Central report<\/a>, catechins and caffeine, both contained in green tea, are believed to have a role in increasing energy metabolism, which may lead to weight loss.<\/p>\n

While the drinks may primarily support your fat-loss efforts by improving metabolism, curbing appetite, or stabilising blood sugar levels, the fitness trainer cautioned that, alongside these, you must also maintain a caloric deficit, engage in regular exercise, and effectively manage your sleep and stress levels.<\/p>\n
