How To Lose Belly Fat

How To Lose Belly Fat

We’ve all been there: staring at the cake and knowing we should eat the vegetable mother has cooked. No matter how much we try to convince ourselves for making the healthy choice, we find ourselves reaching for the cake.

Why does the food we eat even matter?

Diet plays a crucial role especially when you’re hoping to shed that extra fat around your belly. While there may not be any magic bullet for losing belly fat, eating the right food definitely helps. So, what are the foods that you should be eating for a slimmer waist? We’ll jump right into that.

Oats

Oats are rich in fiber that’s why when you eat it, your stomach remains full longer which reduces appetite and helps to lower intake of calories. Moreover, oats can easily be digested which helps to reduce bloating. Cinnamon can be added with oats for a better effect. A study shows that when cinnamon is sprinkled over cereal, it helps to lower insulin production after food is consumed. Excess sugar is turned into fat by insulin so when insulin will decrease, you’ll be able to lose belly fat.

Nuts

Peanuts, almonds, pistachios, walnuts- just go nuts about nuts. Those who consume nuts instead of carb-based diet have low abdominal fat. Nuts are loaded with monosaturated fat and Vitamin E which help to combat belly fat.   However, be advised that you should never overeat nuts as although they are rich in nutrients, but overeating will always increase fat instead of lowering it.

Green Tea

There are studies that suggest green tea helps with weight loss and a few studies also show that belly fat is the first area that is targeted by green tea. In other words, if you wish to reduce belly fat, green tea is sure to hit the spot. Scientists believe that the rate by which fat breaks down in the human body is increased by green tea. Green tea also improves the sensitivity of blood sugar which helps in reducing cravings for sugar and refined carbohydrates.

Dairy Products (Low-fat or fat-free milk, cheese, yogurt)

Several studies show that improved body composition and high take of calcium is strongly linked. When calcium level is low, the secret hormones of the body allow it better use the calcium that’s already present. However, the problem is that at the same, the body also signals the fat cells to hold onto the fat. Dairy products like low fat or fat-free milk, cheese, and yogurt are preferred to fulfill calcium requirements.

Olive Oil

Olive oil and other plant-based oils have hormones that create that full feeling to help you eat less. However, avoid battered foods that are fried in oil. Fried snacks lead to weight gain so you are better off eating them once in a while.

It will require commitment and persistence to achieve weight loss, especially around your belly. But, if you don’t give up and stay focused on eating the right food, you’ll soon have a slimmer waist that you desire.
