Believe it or not, you don't have to shrink your diet to shrink your waistline.  In fact, you just might lose weight by eating more… especially if you’re adding foods that support you on the weight-loss path. In this episode, I share nine foods for fat loss you’ll want to add to your weekly rotation. The beauty of these foods is that on top of encouraging the fat to melt away, they’re great for your overall health. They have the power to help you promote insulin function, tackle inflammation, and support healthy blood-sugar balance—which is absolutely critical for great, sustained energy. By eating these foods, you’ll also help cultivate a gut microbiome that can continue to promote weight loss. Amazing, right? Give it a listen right now so you know how to make your next meal a delicious, fat-burning feast.
