Nowadays people are more concerned about their belly fat as it is the most harmful type which leads to other health problems like high lipid profile, diabetes etc.

Losing belly fat is a bit difficult also but here are some ways by which you can effectively lose belly fat:

1. Cut down refined carbs: Refined carbs like regular flour, semolina, vermicelli, noodles etc are directly linked with gain in the belly area. Try not to include healthy carbs like wheat flour, pulsed, quinoa, couscous, barley, bulgur etc.
2. Eat more protein: Protein decreases hunger hormone and increases satiety that is the reason it helps in reducing body weight. It reduces hunger pangs also.
3. Eat enough fiber: Fiber is a kind of carbohydrate that provides satiety without contributing calorie because it is not absorbed in the body that helps in reducing weight. It’s a must to include fiber in your diet via oat, oat bran, barley, lentils, peas, fruits and vegetables.
4. Include Nuts & Seeds in your diet. Flax seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and sesame seeds are good sources of protein and omega 3 fatty acids. Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios are good choices in the nuts category, as these reduce appetite and make you feel full for a long duration. They both are very good snack options when a person has the tendency to binge.
5. Include food which contain Probiotics like yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, tempeh as they contain healthy bacteria that help in boosting up the metabolism, manage gut function and expel bloating.
6. Include spinach and kale as it is rich in minerals like potassium which can help to get rid of bloating effects of sodium. Start your Personalized Diet Plans for Healthy Weight Loss during Covid.
