These simple foods help burn belly fat fast according to a top dietitian.
Are you trying to blast belly fat? Trimming down your waistline typically involves a combination of factors, primarily diet and exercise. When it comes to food, some are better than others for fat burning, says Tara Collingwood, MS, RDN, CSSD, LD/N, ACSM-CPT, also known as The Diet Diva. The Board-Certified Sports Dietitian and co-author of Flat Belly Cookbook for Dummies recently revealed to us her go-to foods for fat loss. Here are 7 everyday foods that shrink hanging belly fat fast.
Avocados
What is the first food Collingwood recommends to shrink belly fat? Avocados. “Loaded with healthy fats (monounsaturated), avocados help regulate blood sugar, reduce cravings, and keep you feeling full longer, aiding in belly fat reduction,” she says. There are lots of ways to enjoy an avocado. You can add them to a salad, mash them up and make avocado toast, or eat them as a side with breakfast, lunch, or dinner. However, try not to overdo it, as they do have a decent amount of calories.
Bonus Tip
Collingwood offers the following bonus tip. “Of course, one food alone will not shrink belly fat. Combine these with hydration, exercise, and sleep for best results!” she says.
