So You Want to Lose your Belly Fat?

So you want to lose your belly fat ? Here's a few tips on how (backed by science)

1. Eat Plenty of Soluble Fiber - Studies show that this type of fiber promotes weight loss by helping you feel full, so you naturally eat less. Excellent sources of soluble fiber include flaxseed, shirataki noodles, Brussels sprouts, avocados, legumes and blackberries.

2. Avoid Foods That Contain Trans Fats - Trans fats are created by pumping hydrogen into unsaturated fats, such as soybean oil. They're found in some margarines and spreads and also often added to packaged foods.These fats have been linked to inflammation, heart disease, insulin resistance and abdominal fat gain in observational and animal studies

3. Eat Probiotic Foods or Take a Probiotic Supplement - Probiotics are bacteria found in some foods and supplements. They have many health benefits, including improved gut health and enhanced immune function.

4. Reduce Your Stress Levels - Stress can make you gain belly fat by triggering the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. Research shows that high cortisol levels increase appetite and drive abdominal fat storage
