Stir frys with as much chilli as you can handle.

There is evidence to show that spices, especially chilli, can raise the metabolic rate by up to 50% for up to 3 hours after you’ve eaten a spicy meal.

Drinks containing caffeine also stimulate the metabolism, as does green tea.

We talked about this a few weeks back.

What also helps is to try and keep the heating off as much as possible. Make your body work to keep warm.

i go to the gym 4 days a week im toning up nicely but dont seem to be losing weight (especially around the middle)and i think its probably because i'm eating the wrong things, so thats why i need to stock up with some healthly foods.

Jacket potatoes with cottage cheese, or chilli-con-carne. Just go light on the butter, though.

if you make a big batch of soup and just heat some up when you feel a little peckish!! pack it with a load of veg!

Fruitsalad...if you are going to the gym 4 days a week do not expect to lose weight on the scales. Muscle weights more than fat. Measure yourself...measure your thighs, waist, bust and arms. Do this once a week....don't weigh yourself.

Pay attention to the cm's lost....

Good luck xx

i think stuffed peppers are quite nice and i find them very filling, try cous-cous or brown rice in a nice pepper, baked in the oven, lovely!!
