Food For The Flat Tummy !!

Concentrate on whole grains: Reach out for multi grains. When combined, bran rice, ragi, millet, oats and bajra have a low glycaemic index (GI), perfect for weight-loss. The soluble fibre in these grains slows down the entry of sugars and fats into your bloodstream. Studies show that obese adults who eat a diet rich in whole grains for 12 weeks lose more ab fat than those who ate refined grains.




Use the right fats In a Spanish study, researchers found that in people with insulin resistance, a high-carb diet redistributed their body fat to their bellies, whereas a diet rich in monounsaturated fat did not. Good sources of these healthy fats: olive or canola oil, avocados, walnuts, and fl axseed.


Eat your H20 The more water-rich foods you eat – think tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes, gourds, papaya, lettuce, melons, and oranges – the smaller your waist, research suggests. Calories are low and you feel fuller. Simply drinking more beverages didn’t help women in the study, unless you’re eating less, so that the water substitutes food.
