Foods to A FLATTER TUMMY

1) Eat fruits and vegetables.Orange-hued foods were found to be the most effective.

2)Take in more selenium at least 55 mcg per day. The best sources are whole grains, nuts (especially Brazil nuts), poultry, red meat and seafood. Foods rich in vitamin E, such as nuts and seeds are good source too.

3) Reduce alcohol to one glass a day.

4) Increase good fat ie omega3, monusaturated fats found in fish, nuts, olive oil and avocado. Can take at least 6000 to 9000 mg of salmon oil per day.

5) Increase protein intake. You should be getting about 25 percent of your daily calories from protein, choose lean sources like low-fat yogurt, fat-free milk, fish and poultry to keep calories down. Nuts are also high in protein, but can also be high in calories, so eat them in moderation. Protein helps to keep you feeling full and boost your energy – aiding in your weight loss efforts.Eating additional protein is especially helpful for those over 40 in reducing abdominal fat.
