Eat Your Way to a Flatter Stomach: 7 Fat Burning Foods

by DP Nguyen 14 Comments

Foods for a flatter stomach
Who doesn’t want to have a flat stomach? Let’s face it – we all want to have flat abs, or just a leaner belly. Whether we’re single women, or a postpartum mom struggling to lose that pregnancy weight, we all want to look like supermodels and we’re envious of Miranda Kerr and how quickly she bounced back from pregnancy (or at least, I am).

Believe it or not, but you can actually eat your way to a flatter stomach? How? It’s all in the foods that you eat. Incorporate the following fat burning foods into your every day diet, and you may be surprised that you start to feel leaner, more fit. (Exercise is also beneficial, so don’t forget to workout when you can.)

1. Bananas – Who doesn’t love bananas? Not only do bananas fill you up, but they only contain about 105 calories. They’re also full of potassium, which helps your body get rid of all that extra sodium in your diet. Bananas are also good sources of vitamin B6, vitamin C, dietary fiber, and manganese.

2. Almonds – These delicious nuts are filling and contain plenty of fiber, protein, and vitamin E (an antioxidant). Almonds are also great sources of magnesium, which is a mineral your body needs to produce energy and regular blood sugar. What’s really neat about almonds is their ability to block calories.

3. Eggs – A perfect protein source, eggs contain a health balance of essential amino acids, protein, and fat. People who eat eggs in the morning typically feel less hungry throughout the day. Studies have also shown that eating eggs in the morning can help you maintain a healthy weight, which in turn means a flatter stomach. When you start the day off right, you won’t be starving by lunchtime!

4. Apples and Pears – Fruit is good for you, and it will help you eat your way to a flatter stomach. Studies have shown that overweight women who ate three apples or pears each day for three months lost more weight than others (who ate a similar diet but ate oat cookies rather than fruit). A large apple contains mostly water, and five grams of fiber. Apples and pears hydrate you, and keep you feeling fuller.

5. Strawberries, Blueberries, and other Berries – Most berries are loaded with plenty of fiber. According to nutritionists, the more fiber that you consume, the fewer calories that you absorb from the rest of your diet. Fiber is also great for digestion, making you feel less bloated. Plus, berries are also high in antioxidants.

6. Leafy Green Vegetables – Spinach, broccoli, and other leafy green vegetables are low in calories, but quite filling. One cup of spinach only contains 40 calories; a cup of broccoli contains slightly more at 55 calories. Both of these veggies are filling and they meet 20 percent of your daily fiber requirement. Plus, they’re good sources of calcium.

7. Salmon and other Fatty Fish – Seafood and fatty fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids will help you get a flatter stomach. Omega-3 fatty acids (found in salmon, tuna, mackerel) helps promote fat burning since it makes your metabolism more efficient. Seafood might also slow down digestion and prevent food cravings.

Obviously, you won’t get flat abs unless you exercise, but eating the above foods can help you in your weight loss goals. They are filling and low in calories.

    information is not solid., however suppose you added a headline that
    grabbed people’s attention? I mean Eat Your Way to a Flatter Stomach:

    If your light was old, chances are the battery is dead.
    Types – You get several types oof lights in different
    designs and styles to suit different needs. This cell is what transforms light frolm
    the sun into an electrical current and is housed withhin the solar
    panel. Planting trees and painting buildings white can act as a coolant, therefore lowering
    the temperatures.

    Other passive techniques select material with favorable thermjal properties, creating spaces that naturally circulate air, and positioning a building to fully access
    thee sun beams hence increasing the supply
    of energy. You do not have to worry aboutt hitting it with
    a mower since it is only about 1 inch wide.
    They sense motion within 15 feet, and provide an extra bburst of brightness, to light the pathway.

    Okay without further ado here are some approximate costs.
    You’ll likely wonder why you hadn’t tried it before now. The company has plunged into this business with an aim to bring awareness among thee people for energy conservation.

    Typically, in case oof lights, theree are solar panels that absorb sunrays and illuminate
    the solar bulbs. Most rechargeable batteries which arre appropriate for this may be replaced every 18-24
    months. The only known drawback would be during thhe winters, wherein you shouldn’t expect them
    too operate to full capacity.

    Youur most preferred companion has just played its last tune.
    You can lso find solar lamp post lights with one, two oor three lamp lights.
    Also they will select the plant varieties that will give
    the most attractive foliage- whether it is herbaceous or deciduous.
    It does not belong to anybody and is, therefore, free.

    Their purposes can be attributed to increased environmental awareness,as well as
    developed ecconomic realities. All you need to pay for are solar outdoor lamps themselves and they will keep your yard lit throuhout the night.

    How It Works There are different typeds of lights available on the
    market. This increase in temperature can result in inflation of air conditioning costs.

    Your solar lights should be left switched off for a couple of days when you
    first get them. Put in the lawn they absorb the sunlight from the sun for several hours in the daytime after which let youu turn a switch turning the sunshine on when the sun goes
    down.

    Although you hafe many choices too light up your homes,having solar lights are a fantastic wway to save electricity and most importantly, it is cost-effective.
    Pathway lights are the most popular, but spotlights are another terific option. Whhen darkness falls, the charged battery will provide thee power to run the
    lights.

    In general, a qualified solar charge controller has tthe following charge-discharge protection mode: a direct charge
    voltage protection points: emergency charger, also known as
    charge, are fast charging, the battery voltage is generally lower whern using relatively high current and high voltage on the battery
    charge, but there is a control point, also known as conservation sites
    iss the value on the table, when charging thee battery
    terminal voltage is higher than the value of these protections,
    they should stop tthe ditect charge. If they are let in coldcer temperatures with reduced daylight hours, the lifespan off the battery will
    decrease. You can even take the lights with you when you move.They are reliable, enduring and will seldom neeed tto be replaced.

    With solar lighting, all that’s necessary to set it up is to ocation the light fixtures where yoou need them.
    Equipped withh a batterry of two small-scale systems, are
    fully meaningful. That’s really aall there is too
    it.

    The light panels utilize specialized panels that home owners attach on the underneath of
    the window shades. Take that one, step further by bringing the elegance
    into your private bacfk yard. They aree available in different sizes as well.
    Every now and then you may notice that one or twoo of them is nott working.

    Solar Lights when installed are self efficient. Solar Energy Solar security lights
    work on solar energy that is derived from sunrays.
    Lots of automobile firms whicxh are doing study on creating a vehicle which runs purely on pv energy.

    There is a growing debate over which type of landscape lighting is better: Solar Lighting
    or Low Voltage Lighting. Keep in mind you can go all out styling your property witgh
    these lights. Most solar lights apply incandescent or fluorescent bulbs.

    A downside to solar energy is overheating of metropolitan area
    due to increased absorption off solar light by urban materials such as concrete.

    Normally you will require several sized Phillips screwdrivers.
    Besst of all, the rechargeable batteries pay for themselves
    and the led lights last for 100,000 hours.

    Even very small solar panels found in solar garden lighing is powerful enough to power those
    lights for as lopng as eight hours. From this
    point on, they will not require attention, watering or anything like
    plants. We can easily attribute the popularity of outdoor olar lights to 2 primary components, nno
    enesrgy costs, and ease of installation. Outdoor solar lights certainly
    are a very precise software of a wide selection of soar powered units around.

    Pick the mst suitasble ones, and hasve them installed rightly to spruce up
    the walk. Solsr energy has many more applications,
    such as architecture and urban planning, agriculture and horticulture, solar chemicals, solar vehicles.

      seems like a great plugin. I also find it interesting that not only does it integrate with WordPress, but also with Joomla and Drupal. I guess I missed it when I was researching WordPress shopping carts, so thanks for mentioning it — I’ll include it in the list above later on!What category do you think it’ll fit under, plugins, hybrids, lightweight, or 3rd party integration?
