EAT THESE 10 BELLY KILLING FOODS
Yes, as you probably would have gathered, there are certain foods which can cause belly fat. And others that can kill belly fat. Here are some of the top foods that can help you trim down: 1. Avocados: These are loaded with two
nutrients that are an absolute key to killing belly fat: hunger-crushing fibre (11 to 17 grams per avocado!), and monounsaturated fats, which studies have shown to spot reduce belly fat. Wow! Make sure to eat some avocados!
2. Peanut Butter: Preferably natural
peanut butter. Okay, not just peanut butteralso any seeds and nuts. These ones are the best; pistachios, walnuts, almonds (or almond butter), pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. The reason is that they keep you full and satisfied for long periods of time. Not only that, but they’re also filled with healthy, belly-burning fats and minerals.
3. Dark Chocolate: No, this is not
a typo. Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants. Surprisingly, almost eight times the number found in strawberries. It also contains stimulants that can have a positive effect on fat burning, along with a nice dose of oleic acid, which is a monounsaturated fat. If you eat dark chocolate though, ensure you choose the 78% or higher cocoa levels for best results.
instance vitamins B6, B12, A, D, E, and K, folate, choline, lutein, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Try to ensure you choose eggs that come from free-range chickens. This will allow you to get more healthy nutrients.
5. Lots of Veggies - especially
these ones: So, it turns out that certain vegetables (such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, and cabbage) contain special phytonutrients. For example, indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which help to fight against environmental estrogens which can add belly fat. Mum was right after all… it is important to eat your veggies!
4. Omelettes: Eggs are another food
that can keep you full for a lengthy amount of time! They’re they’re nutrient-dense and loaded with belly-burning protein, for 1
6. Oatmeal: You really can’t go wrong
with oatmeal- it’s packed with fiber and whole-grain goodness. When choosing oatmeal though, ensure that you avoid the processed, high-sugar types out there. Stick to slow-cook oats. Add a dash of cinnamon, some walnuts, berries, and a natural sweetener to taste. Good, healthy stuff!
7. Berries: There are particular types of
berries that are loaded with fibre (which slows sugar absorption) and packed with vitamins that can fight cravings (remember, cravings can stem from vitamin deficiencies). Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are the ones to eat lots of.
DARK CHOCOLATE IS LOADED WITH ANTIOXIDANTS. SURPRISINGLY, ALMOST EIGHT TIMES THE NUMBER FOUND IN STRAWBERRIES. MANY PEOPLE ARE DEFICIENT IN OMEGA-3S. WHEN THEY ADD SALMON TO THEIR DIET, THE FAT CAN START COMING OFF REALLY QUICKLY!
8. Beans: Beans are an excellent source
of fiber. For instance, black beans, navy beans, refried beans, and lima beans all have 6 or more grams of fiber per ½ cup. This is important because fibre can clean your system of pounds of “toxic waste” and reduce your belly bulge significantly!
REMEMBER, CRAVINGS CAN STEM FROM VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES
9. Wild Salmon: No questions about
it- this is one of the best belly-blasting foods because of its protein and high omega-3 fatty acid content. Many people are deficient in omega-3s. When they add salmon to their diet, the fat can start coming off really quickly!
10. Yogurt: Ok, so most regular yogurt is evidently bad for your belly. It is typically loaded with lots of sugar (real or artificial), that you should try to avoid. However, Greek yogurts (plain) are loaded with probiotics that fight belly bulge.
