An egg a day keeps belly fat away

Egg plays an important role in reducing stomach fat. Most of us are more conscious nowadays in burning calories through diet or exercise, but the combination of both may yield  more effective results.
Mostly the fat gets deposited in the waistline, which sometimes is not easy to get rid off even with our regular exercise.  So, in addition to the routine exercise, we should also concentrate in consuming fat burning food to our diet to help burn fat around the waistline.
Egg is considered to be one of the best fat burning food. They are very high in protein which helps to burn the unwanted belly fat. Food which is high in protein consumes lot of energy to digest them. So, the more protein our body consumes, the more calories we burn. It is a good source of vitamin B12 as well, which is a great supplement for breaking down the fat cells. At the same time, I know that eating too many eggs may increase the cholesterol levels as well. If you are really more concerned about the cholesterol levels, get rid of the yolk.  You will still benefit from the high protein, by consuming  just the white ones because egg whites have more fat burning properties.
