- OK, you’re right…sit-ups and crunches will give you abs of steel…..BUT choosing the right foods can help tackle the tummy bulge AND that bloated feeling after you have eaten when food is not digested properly.
- 1. Choose granary bread (except if you are wheat-intolerant) over white bread – energy is released at a slower pace and the fibre helps regulate your digestive system.
- 2. Avocado is full of mono-saturated fat and is shown to prevent the accumulation of tummy fat.
- 3. Choose lean protein like fish, skinless chicken and turkey so less fat to sit on your tummy + your body has to BURN calories to digest protein.
- 4. You want food to sit in your system for as little time as possible – it must be used as fuel for energy. Try eating probiotic yoghurt – the enzymes reduce the time between food being eaten and leaving your body so no bloated feeling.
- 5. Try whisking-up a fruit smoothie in the morning – the fibre in the fruit will help to speed up your digestive system and get ‘things moving’….so you start your day with a FLAT TUM!!!
