10 Foods For A Flat Stomach

Losing belly fat is an inside job. Yes, you have to exercise, but first fuel your body with foods that give you energy and nutrients, while also helping you to lose belly fat. Any program that encourages eating works for me! I love my greens, legumes, olive oil, berries, and yogurt! Here we created a list of 10 foods for a flat stomach:

1. Almonds
These extra-lean nuts are packed with filling fiber, protein, powerful antioxidants, and vitamin E, all of which your body needs to produce energy, build and maintain muscle tissue, and regulate blood sugar, they also help prevent cravings that can lead to overeating. But this is just the beginning of almond benefits. Almonds also block calories, and, because of the composition of their cells, they help reduce absorption of fat.

2. Eggs
Eggs are one of the better sources of protein and amino acids. When you eat eggs, you feel less hungry throughout the day because they are rich in protein and healthy fat. Begin your day with a couple in a delicious omelet or quick scramble with veggies.

3. Cayenne Pepper
Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers their spice, contributes to fighting obesity by decreasing calorie intake, shrinking fat tissue, and lowering blood fat levels. Make sure to add these spices that help you to lose weight to your food.

A large apple has five grams of fiber, but it’s also nearly 85% water, which helps you feel full longer, they also contain quercetin, a compound shown to help fight certain cancers, reduce cholesterol damage, and promote healthy lungs.

5. Berries
Berries are known for being one of nature’s powerful sources of antioxidants, which helps you get more results from your workout by improving blood flow, but berries are also loaded with fiber, which traps food particles and shuttles them out of your system before they’re fully digested. Consider adding berries to your weight loss smoothies.

9. Salmon
Seafood is an excellent (maybe the best) source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which promote fat burning by making your metabolism more efficient and may daily improve glucose-insulin response, so in other words, seafood is an excellent source of abs-friendly protein.

10. Quinoa
Quinoa is a super-food that consists of a nutty flavor and crunchy-yet-chewy texture, and it is packed with fiber and protein. Quinoa is also a great source of calcium and blends well with many flavors, try it as a hot cereal or replace rice or pasta in any casserole.
