There are many people who would like to reduce abdominal fat, especially at this time of year, when a few millimeters less waist can greatly help make the swimsuit more flattering.
The following are foods that play a leading role when it comes to making the belly look flat or, on the contrary, it appears voluminous and swollen. Take note of the things you should and should not eat if you are worried about this part of your body.
What you should eat
Make monounsaturated fatty acids (avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil ...) part of your daily diet, although controlling the portions, since they are high in calories. Also always eat some pineapple (for example during lunch), as it contains a enzyme that facilitates digestion and prevents bloating.
Blueberries –as well as most berries–, pears, whole grains, beans and vegetables should not be missing from your diet either, as they promote a flat stomach and keep you feeling full longer.
What you should not eat
Trans fats are one of the biggest enemies of the flat stomach. They are found in many processed foods, such as industrial pastries, fast food, and prepared soups and sauces. Also avoid abusing sodas (a couple a week at most) and try to limit sugar, simple carbohydrates (white bread) and alcoholic beverages.
If you also keep the intake of dairy products (yogurt, cheese ...), which tend to cause bloating, at bay, you will have a good chance of reducing abdominal fat only through diet.
