Whether abdominal fat has already settled in or you’re worried about gaining it as the cold season approaches, this stubborn issue doesn’t take a winter break. As temperatures start to drop, many fear putting on extra pounds and developing a belly early on—especially when indulging in rich raclette dishes and other hearty winter meals.
While no beverage offers a “miracle” solution, some drinks can help accelerate the reduction of belly fat around the abdominal area, making it easier to shed those extra pounds during the cold season. By reducing the intake of one beverage you absolutely need to stop consuming to lose belly fat, these fat-burning drinks can be excellent allies for keeping your belly trim during winter.
Perfect to pair with a varied and balanced diet, low in processed foods and sugar, these so-called “fat-burning” beverages are ideal for supporting weight loss and preventing abdominal fat gain during the season of hearty, hot meals—much richer than the fresh and light fare we enjoy in the summer. The good news is that many warm drinks perfectly suited for winter exist to promote natural fat burning without deprivation, especially tea, but not just any tea.
3 Best Teas to Drink This Winter to Lose Belly Fat Effortlessly
Green Tea: According to a 2009 study published in The Journal of Nutrition, green tea is a powerful warm beverage that aids in weight loss, specifically targeting abdominal fat when consumed regularly in combination with moderate physical activity. The study notes that “the catechin content (found in this tea) may help reduce abdominal fat.”
Oolong Tea: Although less well-known, this tea is rich in polyphenols (antioxidants) that boost metabolism and promote fat burning, thereby reducing abdominal fat. Another study published in The Journal of Nutrition found that oolong tea can effectively “reduce visceral adipose tissue.”
Black Tea: Also mentioned in the aforementioned scientific study as an ideal tea for losing abdominal fat, black tea’s fat-burning properties are further supported by research published in Molecules, which attributes these benefits to its high polyphenol content.
2 Best Underrated Hot Drinks for Losing Belly Fat When It’s Cold
If you’re not a tea enthusiast, then hot chocolate isn’t the best option for weight loss—especially if made with sugary cocoa powder. Instead, consider two delicious cinnamon-based warm beverages:
Cinnamon Coffee: Simply adding a pinch of cinnamon to your coffee can promote fat burning. Dietitian Nataly Komova explained to SheFinds that “cinnamon in coffee reduces inflammation and hyperglycemia and boosts fat burning.” Furthermore, cinnamon can easily replace sugar in coffee to help prevent weight gain and abdominal fat accumulation, as “cinnamon is a natural sweetener with a strong, delightful flavor,” Komova added.
Cinnamon Infusion: If coffee isn’t your drink of choice, you can still enjoy cinnamon’s fat-burning benefits by adding it to hot water to create a slimming infusion. For a more flavorful twist, try adding apple slices and letting them steep in hot water for a few minutes. Use approximately one cup of water for one teaspoon of ground cinnamon or one cinnamon stick.
