So we have compiled a list of 10 things to add to your diet to helo you fight fat.
Egg whites
An egg's not only a nutritional powerhouse; it's also loaded with protein that satisfies. The amino acids in egg whites help build lean muscle that may in turn help rev metabolism. Low fat cheese will curb calorie creep. You can also always add a little cheese for flavor.

Sweet potatoes

Green Tea
It has been discovered that people who drink one and a half cups of green tea enriched with a total of 609 milligrams of catechins (a group of antioxidants that have been shown to help burn fat cells) every day for 12 weeks lost almost 16 times as much visceral fat as those who consumed green tea without the added antioxidants.

Popcorn
Three cups of plain, air-popped popcorn may seem like a whole lot, but the calorie content is low. All that air adds volume without adding fat or sugar. It's visually satisfying, plus it takes time to eat.
