6. Sip Green Tea or Black Coffee (Without Sugar)
Both green tea and black coffee are natural metabolism boosters[6]. Green tea contains catechins, particularly EGCG, which work with caffeine to enhance fat oxidation and increase energy expenditure. Studies show that people who drink green tea regularly tend to have lower body fat percentages and improved metabolic rates.
Black coffee, when consumed without cream or sugar, also helps increase fat-burning, especially when paired with fasted movement. The caffeine content stimulates the central nervous system, enhances physical performance, and may reduce appetite for a short period. Keep intake moderate—1 to 2 cups in the morning is usually sufficient. Avoid adding sugar or artificial creamers, which can counteract the fat-burning benefits by increasing insulin response.
