Many of us take a critical look at our bodies every time we take off our clothes. We scrutinise every little flab, judge and blame ourselves for that and promise ourselves to change our eating habits and work out seven times a week. Of course, most of us don’t stick to this vow – not in a world that has so many deliciously sinful options to taste from! Luckily, hellofood.com has come up with a short, yet effective list of foods to add to your daily diet, in order to get rid of flab. Combine these with a few physical exercises and have a flat belly in no time!
Oranges: Oranges are high in fibre and are the most effective surrogates. They also contain a high level of antioxidants which help the body burn fat.
Chicken/fish: Foods high in protein such as chicken or fish help the feeling of satiety when consumed, while they also provide energy to the body without the negative effects on weight. The monounsaturated fat and Omega-3 which can be abundantly found in fish help us maintain the line.
Nuts: These foods are rich in vitamin E, which increases the effectiveness of selenium in the body. Selenium is known for being an anti-cancer mineral which also reduces obesity levels. Foods rich in nuts such as groundnut soup could do wonders to the belly.
Brown rice: This super food can be consumed every day without having to bother about growing a pouch.
Spicy foods: Foods that are spicy aid and improve digestion, thereby leading to reduction in hunger pangs. As you munch on these foods, remember to be moderate, as too much of them could undo their benefits. However, with discipline and dedication, you can literally have your cake and eat it!
