The 10 Best Foods For Flat Abs

We have 10 foods we think will help whittle your waist. Plus they are nutritious!

Remember to play around with your diet.  Tweek it, All of the best waist-whittling foods contain fiber to banish bloat, antioxidants to boost your abs routine's effectiveness, and protein to help maintain a healthy metabolism. Here, the top 10 choices for flatter abs.

1. Almonds
The sweet almond itself contains practically no carbohydrates and may therefore be made into flour for cakes and cookies (biscuits) for low-carbohydrate diets or for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus or any other form of glycosuria. Almond flour is gluten-free and therefore a popular ingredient in cookery in place of wheat flour for gluten-sensitive people and people with wheat allergies and coeliac disease. A standard serving of almond flour, 1 cup, contains 20 grams of carbohydrates, of which 10 g is dietary fibre, for a net of 10 g of carbohydrate per cup. This makes almond flour very desirable for use in cake and bread recipes by people on carbohydrate-restricted diets.

Why MUFA'S

MUFAs are foods rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, healthful fats that research links to less belly fat and better overall health. The best part: MUFAs are found in rich, delicious foods like olives, nuts and seeds, oils, avocado, and (yes!) dark chocolate. Incorporating a MUFA into every meal is easy; we made it even easier by combining them with our favorite new supermarket products. 

What To Do?

1. Include Monounsaturated fats (MUFA) at each meal
2. Have a clear calorie goal
3. Eat Often
4. Improve your attitude towards food.
   
   Examples:

Have A Clear Calorie Goal 

On Average a woman may need about 1600 Calories, so eating mufa at each meal may add up those calories, so eat more vegys! Write down what your eating, keep a Food journal 

Eat Often 

My advise is 4-5 meals a day,  read my post to see what I usually eat.

Improve Your Attitude Towards Food 

• Were going to train ourselves to only eat at our specific times during the day to stay on track with our 4-5 meals a day
• Were going to de-stress.  Did you know one of the easiest ways to de-stress is eating a healthy diet! When you're body is well-nourished and well-rested, you'll find it much easier to deal with stress without resorting to major snacking.

Exercise
Wow, check out the AB Exercises I just added on the sidebar.  Try to plan your workouts, can't get to the gym, get in front of the computer or tv and workout with a partner!  Go for a brisk walk.
