Here
are some foods which also can be included in a
flat belly diet:
- Fruit
and vegetables - These are great snacks and
also contain vitamins and other healthy
ingredients.
- Lean
protein - Protein is a must have
macronutrient, but in order to get a flatter
stomach get it from lean sources / white
meat such as turkey, chicken breast, egg
whites, and fish.
- Healthy
fats - These are fats which are actually
good for you: virgin olive oil, coconut oil,
flax seeds, almonds, and other nuts are good
sources of healthy fat.
- Complex
carbs - wild rice, brown rice, whole flour
pasta, whole wheat bread, and other whole
grain foods are excellent sources of carbs.
- Water
- makes you feel
full, which helps your overall health,
because it keeps you from eating other
things that are more likely to lead to
problems associated with obesity, like heart
disease and diabetes.
What
You Can’t Eat In Flat Belly Diet
Here are some foods which should never be included in a
flat belly diet:
- Trans
fats - these are unhealthy fats which you
should stay clear of. Check out the label on
the products you buy to see that they're
trans fat free. Lots of cookies and snacks
in supermarket contain trans fat. So you
have to be really careful
- Processed
food / Canned food- Eating fresh is usually
eating healthy. If you eat processed food
expect to find a dozen chemicals inside. All
of these just make it harder for you to
flatten your belly. Also canned food is
prohibited for us.
- Sugar
- natural sugar from fruit and vegetables is
ok, but processed sugar is very bad for you
since it'll quickly be converted to fat.
Avoid all the sugary sodas and useless
candy.
- Alcohol
- should also be cut down.
Here’s
our sample menu:
§
Breakfast: Apple almond oatmeal
§
Lunch:
Tuna, ham, and light cheese sandwich with
lettuce and tomato, 1 cup carrots, 1/4 cup
sunflower seeds

and belly fat. . If you do exercise, you will
most certainly see the better results faster,
and you will gain secondary benefits like
improved cardiovascular health and stronger,
more toned muscles.
