According to Prevention Magazine and Web M.D. there are 5 food groups that fall into the category, “Flat Belly Foods” that will help you lose belly fat.
One serving of these foods, each packed with monounsaturated fatty acids, at each meal will help reduce excess weight in your mid-section and protect you from various diseases.
Nuts and seeds, olives, avocado, dark chocolate, and healthy oils (olive oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil to name a few) are all included on their belly fat busting list. Make an effort to include these foods in your daily diet plan...I know dark chocolate won't be hard for me to add!
Serving Sizes: Olives =10 large Dark Chocolate = ¼ cup Avocado = ¼ cup Healthy Oils = 1 tablespoon Nuts & Seeds = 2 tablespoons
