Flat Belly Eating Plan

It sounds almost too good to be true, but did you know that there are foods that you can eat to help you get and maintain a flat, smooth belly. These foods can help you melt that fat away from your middle! 

There are five categories of foods that help you have a flat belly:
  • Avocado
  • Nuts and Seeds
  • Healthy Oils
  • Olives
  • Dark Chocolate (Yay, Chocolate!)
These foods all contain fiber to rid you of belly bloat, antioxidants, and protein, all of which encourage a properly functioning metabolism.

Breakfast

Bagel Thin Topped with Peanut Butter and Fruit
1 Thomas' 100% Whole Wheat Bagel Thin
2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
1 medium banana, sliced
4 strawberries, sliced*
*Strawberries contain a phytochemical that may increase the production of leptin, a hunger-suppressing hormone, and adiponectin, a hormone that accelerates fat burning and may fight diabetes.
Total: 430 calories

Snack
