How Thermogenesis Drives Fat Burning
- Thermogenesis raises metabolism so the body uses energy from fat reserves.
- Joseph Chance explains three fat-burning food types: negative-calorie digestion, high fibre/protein satiety, and metabolism-boosting active ingredients.
Choose Foods That Increase Digestive Energy Use
- Eat foods your body expends extra energy digesting or that increase satiety to reduce calorie intake.
- Joseph Chance names aubergines and peppers for absorption, fibre and capsaicin-driven metabolic boost.

- Rely on aubergines for fat management because they trap fat and are filling.
- Joseph Chance says aubergines act like a sponge and contain fibre and pectins that increase fullness.
