15 Surprising Foods That Will Help You Lose Fat Fast.
When it comes to finally shed the last of those few unwanted pounds, you might be wondering what else can you do to just melt the fat away. While that's rather unrealistic if we're being honest here, there are foods you can add to your diet ASAP that will help you lose fat a lot quicker than if you weren't eating them. And you might be a bit surprised to see some of these foods on the list!

Here's a breakdown of 15 surprising foods that will help you lose fat.

Avocados

Yes, avocadoes are filled with healthy monounsaturated fats, which help with overall weight loss. But a study in Nutrition Journal helps to take the avocado's reputation up a notch. Participants in the study who ate half a fresh avocado with lunch were fuller for longer, and had didn't have much of a feeling to snack or eat afterward.
Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, and one study in the Journal of Medicinal Food actually found that antioxidant-rich fruits can reduce abdominal fat, triglycerides, and total body weight. The fruit makes a great addition to oatmeal, mixed in some yogurt, or just as a snack by itself!

Red Grapes

Red grapes
Red grapes contain resveratrol, which has been shown to reduce body fat and increase the breakdown of fat. So the more red grapes you eat, the more that will aid in the breaking down of fat, which sounds pretty ideal to us! And if you're catching on to where we're going next…

Red Wine

Yes, the same can be said of red wine, which comes from red grapes. A true victory.

Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts are one nut you want to add to your daily snack lineup, as they are packed with monounsaturated fats and serve as a great anti-inflammatory, too. But before you think about loading up on Nutella (hello 21 grams of sugar in one serving), it's best to just eat one serving of the actual nuts, or try making your own hazelnut spread yourself that is free of added sugars.

Cinnamon

Ground cinnamon
Go ahead and add some cinnamon to your overnight oats, or even in a smoothie. One study found that cinnamaldehyde, an essential oil that gives cinnamon its flavor, helps kickstart weight loss and burn fat cells.

Sweet Potatoes

An upside of eating sweet potatoes is that they'll keep you fuller for much longer, and if you're less likely to reach for snacks, that's a major win. Sweet potatoes also have plenty of carotenoids—some of the highest levels compared to other veggies—and according to a Nutrition and Diabetes study, carotenoids have been shown to correlate with improved weight and fat loss.

Beans

Canned black beans
Beans are packed with protein and fiber, but on top of those benefits, a Free Radical Research study showed that consuming four weekly servings of beans or legumes sped up weight loss. So yes, it's safe to add beans to list of foods that will have you losing fat ASAP.

Green Tea

Sipping on green tea will have you shrinking fat cells and burning belly fat in no time, because, well, that's exactly what it does. In one study, men who took part were given green tea extract before working out and burned more fat than the other men in the study who weren't given the supplement. Another study found that the EGCG present in green tea—which is the compound responsible for making green tea as amazing as it is—increased fat oxidation in the participants.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is not only packing with protein but according to one study, researchers found that when protein is digested, the amino acid phenylalanine triggers hormones that help reduce appetite by affecting the gut and the brain. This obviously then leads to weight loss.

Dark Chocolate

Yes, it's true! See, Louisiana State University researchers found that chocolate can boost the body's ability to create a fatty acid that turns off genes linked to inflammation, which also encourages the body to burn fat as fuel.

Tomatoes

Japanese researchers discovered that tomatoes contain a compound that actually activates your DNA to burn more fat. How amazing is that?

Spinach

Baby spinach colander
You've heard plenty of times about the importance of eating leafy greens and spinach will help you on the right track. Not only is it high in protein, but it contains thylakoids, a compound that keeps you satiated and helps promote weight loss. See ya, unwanted fat!

Hot Peppers

chili peppers tied with string
Munch on a bit of spice, and you'll drop those pounds in no time. Researchers from the University of California Los Angeles found that eating spicy hot peppers might just help you burn more calories and fat, as the dihydrocapsiate, or DCT, in hot peppers "caused an increase in calories burned after a test meal."

Pomegranate

Pomegranate
It's time to burn that belly fat fast, and pomegranates will get you there. A study in the International Journal of Obesity found that pomegranates significantly decreased the abdominal fat of mice. This overall reduced obesity and cardiovascular risk as well. More good news!

10 Most Amazing And Fun Things To Do In California

10 Most Amazing And Fun Things To Do In California.



Experience the Golden State's top adventures and hidden gems with our list of the best things to do in California.



With perfect weather, trendsetting culture and restaurants and a gorgeous landscape that just won’t quit, California doesn’t lack for fun diversions. It’s not just the San Andreas Fault that’s shaking things up. The Golden State has generated innumerable cultural shifts, from the Gold Rush to gangsta rap. Plus, its diversity of landscapes—from beaches to mountains, vineyards to deserts—allow the ambitious pull off a surf and ski session in the same day.

Below, we’ve gathered the destinations and activities that capture the best of California in all its iterations—past and present, highbrow and kitschy—from sipping tiki drinks at Disneyland to exploring a redwood forest featured in Star Wars. As Tupac and Dr. Dre proclaimed, it’s all good from Diego to the Bay, because California knows how to party.

The Broad

Where: Los Angeles

If you think trendy social media phenomena such as sprinkle tubs have bested traditional art museums, you haven’t been to the Broad in Downtown LA. The admission-free venue sports an eye-candy building designed by the starchitect firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and a treasure trove of contemporary art from household names such as Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The museum also features some primo Instagram opportunities including a Star Trek-worthy elevator, Robert Therrien’s giant dining room table, and Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirror Room.

Early Bird

Where: Willow Creek


That famous image of Bigfoot—mid stride, tossing a casual glance over his (her?) shoulder—is taken from an infamous 1967 home movie shot near Willow Creek, California. Today, the Humboldt County town teems with Sasquatch-fueled tourism including a dedicated museum, parade, and the must-try Bigfoot Burger at Early Bird restaurant. The hulking sandwich features a gargantuan, foot-shaped bun stuffed with two cheese-topped patties, bacon and all the fixings. If you manage to get back on your own feet after devouring one, you can search for the big guy yourself in the nearby forest.

Golden Gate Bridge

Where: San Francisco

On a nice day, there’s no better way to experience San Francisco than on this scenic bike-and-ferry journey, beginning in Fisherman’s Wharf—where you can easily find rental bikes and directions—and leading past SF’s big-ticket attractions including the Palace of Fine Arts, Crissy Field, and Alcatraz. After cycling across the famed bridge—245 feet above the chilly waters below—you’ll soon arrive in the cutesy, sunny town of Sausalito where you can board a ferry, crack open a beer on the bay and arrive back via the Ferry Building where some of the city’s best eats await.

Palm Springs’ Mid-Century Modern architecture

Where: Palm Springs

California is home to the largest collection of mid-century modern architecture in the world, and Palm Springs is its epicenter. During the 1940s and ‘50s, architects such as Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and Albert Frey used the desert as a blank canvas for their sleek, low-slung pads. To seek out Palm Springs’ mid-century classics, download the Palm Springs Modern Committee’s app, or pop into the Palm Springs Official Visitor Center—housed in a striking former Tramway Gas Station designed by Albert Frey and Robson Chambers—where you can pick up a map to the city’s mid-century landmarks.

Disneyland’s Enchanted Tiki Bar

Where: Anaheim

If all tiki bars flaunt a little Disney, then you know Disneyland’s tiki bar is something special. Hidden behind the Disneyland Hotel—and free to the public—Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar is a cozy tropical den packed with fun details including an erupting volcano, blinking tiki masks and shrunken head mugs filled with potent grogs. Order the Shipwreck cocktail and you’ll cause a bar-top, model schooner to sink amidst a dramatic blast of thunder and lightning.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Where: Los Angeles

Skip the lackluster stars of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and head straight to the source. At the final resting place of Hollywood’s finest, you can mingle with celebs such as Cecil B. DeMille, Jayne Mansfield, and Johnny Ramone. Don’t miss the summertime movie series from Cinespia which screens classic films such as Casablanca and Raiders of the Lost Ark on lawns below—and above—the stars.

Yosemite’s Half Dome

Where: Yosemite National Park

To complete this 10-12 hour, bucket list trek, you’ll need to rise before the sun, invest in real hiking boots (that old pair of tennies isn’t going to cut it), and conquer any fear of heights. Yet, nothing cements your Cali cred like a photo of you standing 4,737 feet above the valley floor, without any guardrails but with plenty of butterflies in your stomach.

San Francisco’s Chinatown

Where: San Francisco


Lantern-strung streets, secret alleyways, and chinoiserie-embellished buildings are all worthy hallmarks of San Francisco’s historic Chinatown. Yet, the real draw is the food. Where to begin? Here’s a quick cheat sheet to the neighborhood’s prized edibles: dim sum dumplings at Good Mong Kok Bakery, exotic fruit smoothies at Juicy Fruit, poke bowls at Katsu House, Asian-influenced scotch cocktails at Cold Drinks, and Michelin-starred dishes at Mister Jiu’s.

Burney Falls

Where: Shasta County

Hidden in the Northern California forests of Shasta County, Burney Falls is likely the most impressive waterfall in the state. At 129-feet, it’s neither the highest nor largest, but its massive wall of cascading streams—primarily spring-fed which guarantees year-round splendor—will leave you gobsmacked. It also makes for a hell of selfie backdrop. Post a photo, and friends will think you’ve just returned from somewhere deep within a South American jungle.

Hearst Castle

Where: San Simeon

Visiting the opulent home of a wealthy, loudmouth businessman-turned-politician who bullied people and filled newspapers with falsehoods may not sound appealing these days, yet it’s the dazzling architecture of Julia Morgan—the first licensed female architect in California—that still draws us to the former hilltop estate of William Randolph Hearst. A series of daily tours cover different areas of the extravagant mansion, with specialized tours such as the Upstairs Suites and Cottages lending a more intimate experience. Note that all guests can visit the visually stunning Roman Pool—sheathed in vivid tile and ringed by Roman deities—which is worth the price of admission aloneeeeeee.

Three good ways to be a billionaire in 2020..

by

It is everybody's wish to make money and to have plenty of it too in their possession as well but one question that's frequently asked is how do I become financially stable at least or become a billionaire?

Yes, I have the answer to the above question and it's important to note that the following answers will take a lot of hard work to achieve if you are really bent on counting billions on a regular.

1. Look for a problem that no one has found a solution to and be the solution to that problem. If you ask me, this is one of the short cut to become a billionaire in 2020. Imagine the amount of money that you will count if you are able to discover the cure for HIV/AIDS. If you look closely around your environment, you can find a small problem that you can solve for people and start making some cash from.

2. Have huge believe in your potentials to make it. If you want to sell any product or service you need to first believe in how good the product is and make sure the product is really good. Now, make people really get to know how good that product or service is and bingo, you are on your way to becoming a billionaire.

3. Start looking for great opportunities online and take advantage of them.
Programs such as affiliate marketing, blogging, multi level marketing has made people billions within the shortest possible time but with a lot of hard work. 

We can all be rich if we really put ourselves to it and really work smart and hard towards getting results.

Year of Return: Implications for Ghana.

by
2019 will go down as one of the most important years in the history of this country as far as tourism is concerned.

The government of Ghana has made it one of its top priorities to sell the country to the outside world and open its arms to foreigners and welcome them to explore the country in terms of business and also as a tourist destination.

As a result of the great work done by the ministry of foreign affairs, our airports have seen influx of visitors at a record rate to the astonishment of the people of this nation. It is as a result of this that celebraties such as Cardi B, Rozay and others have also visited the country for the first time but what benefit does the country seek to derive from these visits?

I know some of my readers may not be direct beneficiaries from this but I will outline some impacts of the Year Of Return to the nation.

First of all, workers in the tourism sector, that is, hotel owners, cooks, entertainment centers and tourism destinations such as the Wli water falls, Aburi gardens will have huge revenue this season hence an increase in tax revenue to the country.

To add to the above, the country can take one big lesson from this, that is, with proper promotion as we have seen in the case of Rwanda, Ghana can become one of the main tourist destinations in Africa. It is possible if only we plan it well enough.

In as much as we are planning for all these, we should be weary of the fact that, if the country does not take its sanitation issues seriously, people will by all means come to Ghana but the insanitary conditions from refuse improperly disposed will make them never to return here again.

Why most workers go 'broke' in January.

by

It is believed that the month of January has 62 days but not the 31 that's known on the calendar. This is due to the fact that most workers run out of money even before the start of January. The following are some of the reasons why the month of January is seen by most workers as a difficult month.

To start with, salaries are mostly paid by mid December to workers for them to 'enjoy' the Christmas with. Due to the 'give me something' attitude of Ghanaians, and the low income levels coupled with the high dependency ratio in the country, the average Ghanaian with an income of about Gh¢1500.00 will start begging for money even before the start of the new year if he receives his salary by 15th of December. Do you know the sad part of this?, by the 1st of January, the average Ghanaian worker would now have to turn into 'beg man' to survive for the rest of the month.

To add to the above, most workers in the country do not plan for their salaries properly. They don't have a budget for their money and makes little or no plan towards Christmas and New year celebrations. If you put aside just Gh¢200 per month for Christmas every month, that will give you Gh¢2200 by the end of November which is quite enough to supplement your salary in December and give you a better Christmas celebration.

Also, the total dependence on one source of income as against unlimited needs has created more misery for workers than happiness. It's a shame most workers in the country can not boast of a side business to help relieve them of the huge burden that they carry.

It's possible to have a good Christmas and still have a debt free January.

Shatta Wale is the 2019 artist of the year.

by

The controversies that come with various categories during VGMA's have made it difficult for people to clearly and boldly predict the winner of most categories, most importantly the artist of the year.

Mostly, this category can not be mentioned without the likes of Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie and Samini in it because they have made releasing of hit songs and hard work their hobby. 

All said and done, this year won't be an exception when most people will argue whether or not the king of the Shatta movement deserves to be crowned the artist of the year.

The release of his Wonder album coupled with his international collaborations with the queen of female musicians, Beyonce has set him miles ahead of the other great musicians that had their names mentioned earlier.

The number of shows that he headlined during the year is also a clear indication of him been deserving of this award.

I will conclude by saying that, this assessment is coming from the board of latest Ghana blog and not in the interest of any third party.
