His first tip wasn’t actually a food but a drink ingredient – caffeine. Thomas revealed: “Not many people know this, but caffeine’s the number one ingredient in 90 per cent of fat burners, due to it being an appetite suppressant.”
His second tip was something you could actually eat – white fish, reports Surrey Live.
“It’s one of the leanest proteins out there because per 100 grams, it’s only 85 calories and you get 20.2 grams of protein.”
The third item on Thomas’ list was “pretty much any green leafy vegetable”. He advised: “If you want a little cheat code to make fat loss easier, literally take as much green veg as possible and pile it on your plate with your other foods.”
For those who aren’t fans of vegetables, Thomas had some straightforward advice: “Just grow the f**k up.”
Thomas then recommended one of the “cleanest proteins out there” – egg whites. He explained: “I’m not saying don’t eat whole eggs again, but if you top these up with your normal eggs… game-changer.”
According to him, per 100 grams, egg whites contain only 48 calories and nearly 11 grams of protein.
His final suggestion was fresh berries to “curb those sugar cravings”. He mentioned that they contain natural sugars and are low in calories, so they will “sort you out”.
Fans were quick to appreciate his advice, with one person commending his “good hacks”, while another told him: “You talk sense.”
