Eggs - Combined with protein and good fats
Eggs, especially boiled eggs, are a source of high bi protein that helps the body stay full longer, increasing basic metabolism. When eaten with avocado, MUFA fats in avocado help increase the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, K in eggs.
A breakfast of butter + eggs helps reduce cravings by up to 30% within 3 - 5 hours compared to a high-starch breakfast.
Green vegetables - Increase fiber, reduce energy
Avocado contains fat and part of the fiber, but when combined with spinach, lettuce, broccoli or cucumber, the dish becomes rich in water, low in calories, increased stomach volume and aids digestion.
The WHO recommends that each weight loss meal should contain at least 1 handful of green vegetables to boost metabolism and reduce excess fat absorption.
Lemon or apple cider vinegar - stimulates fat metabolism
Lemon and apple cider vinegar when combined with avocado in salads will increase mild acidity, supporting the lipolysis process (fat breakdown).
Acetic acid in apple cider vinegar helps improve insulin sensitivity and reduce visceral fat accumulation. Eating avocado + apple cider vinegar salad 3 times a week helps reduce your around-the-belly by an average of 2cm after 4 weeks.
Chia seeds or flax seeds - Supplement omega-3 and create a feeling of fullness for a long time
Adding 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds to avocado or salad smoothie will get you soluble fiber and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - a precursor to plant-based omega-3.
The journal "Journal of Nutrition & Metabolism" (2022) said that chia seeds help reduce carbohydrate absorption, slow down blood sugar and improve leptin levels, the hormone that regulates hunger.
Berries - Increase antioxidants and reduce blood sugar
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries have a low glycemic index and are rich in polyphenols - antioxidant compounds that help reduce inflammation and promote fat metabolism.
Combining avocado with berries in smoothie is not only delicious but also extremely healthy.
People who eat berries regularly have an 11% higher weight loss rate after 12 weeks, compared to the regular fruit group, thanks to the mechanism of inhibiting white fat accumulation.
Not only avocado, the smart combination of foods that support each other's bio-support will help the body burn fat effectively while still ensuring enough energy and micronutrients for the body.
