How Your Diet Can Help Reduce Belly Fat

We’ve always been told that there’s no such thing as spot-weight reduction, but with some health gurus now preaching the message that certain diet and lifestyle changes can target belly fat, it’s time to get to the guts of the problem. The basic equation for weight loss still stands at how much you eat versus what you burn off.

However, emerging research indicates that making certain dietary choices may help you shift harmful visceral fat (the fat that surrounds internal organs such as your heart and liver). We’re not pinpointing specific foods as belly-fat blasters, so beware of any potions, pills or dietary supplements claiming otherwise. But it’s clear there’s a new take on weight loss that could make a difference to the challenge of trimming that tummy.

Here, we weigh up the results of recent nutritional research and translate its findings into practical steps that should help you lose those extra centimetres. Giving them a try may not give you the six-pack of your dreams, but at the very least, they will make a positive impact on your general health and wellbeing, improving your blood glucose and diabetes management along the way.
