5 foods to eat to reduce stomach fat

We found this great website with some tips on 5 things that surprisingly can help reduce stomach fat weight!

1. Dark Chocolate: No, that is NOT a typo! Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants (nearly eight times the number found in strawberries), and it contains a sneaky little  ingredient called THEOBROMINE that can have a very positive effect on boosting your metabolism.

It also contains a nice dose of oleic acid, which is a monounsaturated “skinny fat.” Make sure to choose the 78% or higher cocoa levels for best results.

2. Peanut Butter: Okay, not just peanut butter, but mostly any seeds and nuts. These are the best: pistachios, walnuts, almonds (or almond butter), pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds.

Why? They keep you full and satisfied for long periods of time, and they’re stuffed with healthy, belly-burning fats and minerals. (By the way, eat organic peanut butter with no added sugar as the regular stuff is loaded with trans-fats.)

3. Omelets: Despite what you may have heard, Eggs aren’t bad, they’re actually nutrient-dense and loaded with belly-burning protein, vitamins B6, B12, A, D, E, and K, folate, choline, lutein, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Plus, they keep you full for long periods of time… also, choose eggs that come from free-range chickens because you’ll get more healthy nutrients.

4. Cinnamon: Researchers have found that cinnamon contains a type of antioxidant that increases insulin sensitivity and effectively helps to stabilize blood sugar… which means you will store less blubber!

5. Chili Peppers: Studies have shown that the active ingredient in chili peppers and powder, something called CAPSAICIN, increases calorie-burning, stabilizes blood-sugar levels (which decreases fat-storage), and is a potent antioxidant… so it sure seems like the right time to add some of this “spice” to your life!
