Top Stomach Flattening Foods
Almonds
Not only are almonds packed full of skin-boosting vitamin E and
protein, but their high fibre content stops you feeling hungry. In 2007,
researchers at Purdue University also reported that – despite the fact they are
relatively high in calories – almonds themselves do not contribute to belly
fat.
Leafy Greens
The quickest way to flatten a stubborn stomach? Include a portion of
leafy green vegetables at every meal. Kale, spinach and romaine lettuce are all
extremely low in calories, full of fibre and offer several vital vitamins and
minerals that help to ease water retention without causing the bloating and
discomfort that some other vegetables might do.
Oats
Oats are filling, which makes it hard to believe that they can help
you lose weight. But eating a portion in the morning for breakfast as part of a
low-calorie diet is a great way to provide your body with slow-release, natural
energy throughout the day, which keeps you feeling fuller for longer and can
even lower your cholesterol.
Olive Oil
Mad but true – fat CAN help you to lose weight. Poly unsaturated fats
like those found in olive oil can stave off hunger pains, while olive oil
itself contains a naturally-occurring chemical called oleic acid, which aids
the breakdown of excess fats in the body.
Beans
