The June 2010 Self Magazine lists Superfoods for Flat Abs. They include:
- Avocado - a Diabetes Care Journal study finds that dieters who consumed monounsaturated fats lost more stomach bulge than those eating the same amount of calories but less of the fats. Blood sugar peaks can signal your body to store fat around your midsection, but monounsaturated fats stop the spikes, thwarting fat accumulation
- Green Tea - a Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise study shows drinking 3 cups of green tea daily may raise your metabolism and burn 30 calories daily
- Blueberries - antioxidants help improve blood flow which delivers more oxygen to your muscles
- Bulgar - Dieters who dined on whole grains lost more tummy fat than those who ate refined grains
