According to Women’s Health, certain vitamins and nutrients can help your body burn more calories, allowing you to get rid of fat instead of storing it.

So, if you’re all about helping your body work to burn calories at a faster rate through the foods you’re eating, go on and stock up on these items.

1. Whole Grains

According to Health.com, your body works harder to digest foods that are high in fiber, and therefore burns twice as many calories.

2. Eggs

Women’s Health states that a protein-rich diet will help you hold onto your muscle mass as you lose weight, all while helping you drop the pounds a little faster.

3. Green Tea

Drinking green tea is known to speed up your metabolism. So, keep a jug of this stuff chilling in the fridge for frequent sipping, why don’t you?

4. Nuts
