3 Foods to blast belly fat

Foods to trim your tummy

If you're worried about your belly expanding this winter, now's the time to stock the fridge and pantry with a few belly-blasting foods.

These three foods can help trim your tummy...

1. Yoghurt. Not only does it boost calcium, but a study has linked eating yoghurt to lower belly fat. Eat half a cup of low-fat yoghurt with whole grains, fruits, or nuts to get your health – and belly-blasting – fix for the day.

2. Blueberries. These sweet berries are rich in nutrients and vitamins, including iron and magnesium. They also contain catechins, which activate fat-burning genes in abdominal fat cells.

3. Fibre. According to one study, people who ate more soluble fibre gained less belly fat over five years. All you need is 10 grams a day (two small apples, a cup of green peas, or a ½ cup of pinto beans).
