8 Healthy Foods You Should Eat Every Day To Get Rid Of Belly Fat
Cardio is great and crunches get to the core of things. But when it comes to shedding pounds from your middle, food is a big factor. We asked Colette Heimowitz, a nutritionist with Atkins Nutritionals, for advice on what to eat for reducing belly fat. Some of these suggestions might be gentle reminders about foods you love but haven’t eaten lately. Others will be brand spanking new. Please give them a try. Your waist is worth it!
Whole Fruit
Fruit juices are full of hidden sugar and lack fiber. Just eat the whole fruit itself. Berries are best (a half cup of raspberries gives you 4 grams of fiber, blackberries 3.8 and blueberries or strawberries 1.7 grams). Kiwis are right up there with 2.7 grams of fiber. Plus they’re beautiful! Whole foods are those that have been minimally processed or are completely unprocessed when you eat them. As a result, they are free from added sugars, fats, sodium and preservatives, all of which should be limited as much as possible in a healthy diet. According to Dr. Mark Hyman, you can treat and prevent chronic illness and feel better by eating primarily whole foods rich in fiber, minerals, vitamins, phytonutrients and omega-3 fatty acids.
