1. Oats/Nuts
Any food that adds more soluble fibre to your diet is going to help your belly get nice and flat, and oats and nuts are the perfect example of this kind of food. Soluble fibre does a much better job than carbs of regulating your blood sugar.
2. Bananas
Bananas are a great source of potassium, and they are the perfect daytime snack because they are low in calories and help you to feel fuller for longer.
3. Watermelon
Another fruit that is high potassium and extremely filling, but because the bulk of it is actually water based, you are not encouraging more body fat.
4. Probiotic Yogurt
Probiotic foods are great for a flat stomach mission because they add all the good bacteria to your gut that you need to keep your digestive system functioning properly, therefore eliminating the risk of bloating.
As part of taking control over your health and wellbeing, it's important to pay attention to the amount of sugar you consume daily. Did you ever wonder how many grams of sugar are in a teaspoon? Understanding this can help you make healthier choices and avoid those sneaky sugars that add up throughout the day. No doubt, your body will thank you!
5. Cucumber
Cucumber is another food that has the magic combination of high water count and low calorie count, making it a healthy and filling snack when you’re hungry.
