Best Foods For FLAT ABS
If you’re skeptical like me, you’re probably leary of any information that promises reduction of fat on any specific body part.
However, after reading information on how certain foods promote flatter abs, AND I experienced some results personally, I thought I’d share. 1. Almonds. 2. Eggs. 3. Soy. 4. Apples. 5. Berries. 6. Leafy Greens. 7. Vegetable Soup. 8. Yogurt. 9. Salmon. 10. Quinoa.
Here is an article that discusses the benefits of each. http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/weight-loss/plans/diets/foods-for-flat-abs/?page=1
While I don’t generally believe in “exercises” that claim to reduce fat in certain areas (what they actually do is build the muscle in that area) there could be some merit to the claims that these foods help in the appearance of the abdominal region. Maybe worth checking it out. I’ve been eating some of these foods, especially the 1 egg a day in the morning for breakfast, and the veggie soup as part of my lunch or dinner and have seen results. Overall though, I believe that my success in getting a flatter stomach is mostly attributed to exercise and sensible eating.

interesting! I need to try the soup one
Yeah, all of those things are a part of healthy and tasty diet, so no wonder they make people lose weight, hence abs diminish.
I am not a quinoa enthusiast, prefering cheaper alternatives like whole grain barley, buckwheat, couscous, brown rice and oats. I just don’t see how the relatively small nutritious advantages outweigh the hefty price tag. All whole grains are our friends imo.
As for soy, Jillian Michaels apprently believes that the soy milks are to be avoided, while the fermented soy products are okay. Not sure what’s up with that (un-natural something or other), but since I can’t stand soy drinks anyway, I stick with tofu.
Thanks for the info!
Protein in the morning is a great idea. I believe in having a very strong core. This is the very reason why I emphasize and stress all my friends and group members to work on core core core.
That is a great list of food. I have to get back to yogurt though. Yogurt and dairy does funny things to me if you know what I mean.
Um, is it fair that someone like my Rod has a six pack abs when he in the almost 2 years I’ve been with him not work out at all. Must be the Kenyan blood. Something about being a full blooded African man I think is the secret. Although I’m just kidding here. I hope it doesn’t come across wrong.
Seriously though, some people have natural abs while people like me have to work extra hard to even have some definition. Wait - I think it’s hiding under the fat.
Thank you again for a great blog. Look forward to many more. OH Yes - waiting for the before pics!
Thanks! I love Fitness! Awesome info!
