Eat Raspberries to Lose Belly Fat

Hello, should I eat raspberries to lose belly fat? The reason I ask is because I’ve heard about raspberry ketone and how it helps lose belly fat. Is it true? Do I need to find a raspberry ketone supplement or should I just eat a lot of raspberries? Thanks. Bobby. [via Ask Belly Fat Questions]

Raspberries are great. I love them. They are high in fiber, relatively low in carbohydrates and are very versatile. You can add them to a protein shake, sprinkles a handful on a salad or eat them with oatmeal or cottage cheese. Should you eat raspberries to lose belly fat? No, you should not. They cannot help you lose belly fat any more than, say, eating apples can help you lose belly fat. The fastest way to lose belly fat has to do with following a balanced diet.

And no, do not spend your money on raspberry ketone. It is a joke. True, some questionable studies seem to indicate that raspberry ketone increases lipolysis in fat cells, but the results of these studies are far from conclusive. Spend your money on quality food. You do not need any supplements to lose belly fat.
