  • Citrus Fruits

    Nozin says: "Citrus is something that we normally associate with the warmer months but Vitamin C not only boosts our immune systems for winter but research has shown Vitamin C oxidizes body fat or burns fat too. Add those lemon and limes to your tea!"
  • Wild Salmon

    Nozin says: "Wild salmon is one of the best sources of Essential Fatty Acids which work to help fight obesity by decreasing the body’s insulin resistance - think of it like a natural weight control. It is also high in leptin which is a hormone that burns fat & helps control appetite. "
  • Quinoa

    Nozin says: "Quinoa is an ancient grain that is seeing an increase in popularity. Quinoa is a complete protein and high in fiber so use it to trade out carb heavy rice and pasta!"
  • Ginger

    Nozin says: "Ginger is thought to increase metabolism by up to 20% and is a natural appetite suppressant. Added bonus - it aids in digestion and tastes good too!"
  • Cayenne Pepper

    Nozin says: "Ready for some spice in your life? Used by Supermodel Gisele and Beyonce as a weight loss aid, cayenne pepper aids in the increase of lipid oxidation which is when fat is burned for energy. It also contributes to decreased appetite & slows down the growth of fat cells."
  • Garlic

    Nozin says: "Garlic not only adds great flavor to your dishes but it also helps to keep insulin levels low and boosts your metabolism rate."
