DENVER -- In our 60 Second Secrets we take a look at foods that doctors say may actually melt fat. Here are a few studies that we found in Woman's World magazine.Dr. Michael B. Zemel said getting three servings of low-fat yogurt can double your weight loss. Research shows that you can burn fat 33-percent faster with low-fat yogurt.Another researcher found that you can cut your appetite by 35 percent with coffee. Doctors say this trick can help you lose 12 pounds a year. And some say that drinking a cup of coffee an hour before exercising can help you melt 31 percent more fat.
Spicy food may also help. Doctors have found that hot peppers can fire up your metabolism and promote a sense of fullness so that you don't overeat. It was also found that those who had a spicy drink before a meal, ate 16 percent fewer calories than those who didn't.Another important issue is protecting your body.Woman's Day magazine reports that certain foods can make a huge difference in your body and your health. According to a University of Toronto study, eating oatmeal and almonds together can help to reduce LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels as much as prescription medications.Dr. John Erdman, Ph.D., lead researcher in a University of Illinois study, found that eating antioxidant rich broccoli together with tomatoes stopped the growth of abnormal cancer cells.To lower fatigue levels, help your body absorb the iron it needs. The acid of lemon juice, when paired with asparagus, can increase iron absorption six-fold.
