Diet plays a huge role in reducing body fat percentage, and there are certain foods proven to target abdominal fat specifically. Ingredients such as whole grains and MUFAS (monounsaturated fatty acids) — think avocado, nuts, and seeds — help diminish visceral fat around your inner organs.
Don't forget about lean protein, especially fish like salmon, eggs , tofu , and plant-based protein powders; they can also help burn away belly fat. Berries such as blueberries are also key belly-fat fighters, along with fiber-rich fruits and veggies such as raspberries, greens, and beans.
If you're looking to reduce your belly fat , here are some delicious, satisfying breakfast recipes that contain these belly-fat-fighting ingredients.
