Abs are Made in the Kitchen

As we all know, fat-loss is 80% nutrition, and 20% exercise. Therefore, abs really are made in the kitchen!

Here are my top 5 foods that you must eat in order to get flat abs fast:

  1. High Fiber Cereal-aids in elimination and keeping you regular.
  2. Asparagus– “mother natures” natural diuretic, helping you to “pee off the pounds”.
  3. Pineapple-one of the best anti-inflammatory fruits, and extremely tasty as well.
  4. Ground Flax Seed-High in fiber and acts as a little windmill system to your entire digestive track to help you lose weight.
  5. Green Tea-speeds up metabolism gently to help melt off belly fat and get you in the shape you’ve been looking for.

Top 5 Foods to Ditch Now for Flat Abs:

  1. Hot Dogs-there is nothing good in hot dogs. They are full of byproducts and high in sodium, not to mention they are very bloating.
  2. Potato Chips– high in sodium, cholesterol, fat. You knew this, so avoid potato chips at all costs for good nutrition!
  3. Any Fast Food– I repeat, ALL fast food! Avoid anything that is artificially produced, deep fried, or has a breading to it. Once again, this one should be obvious, but if you’re trying to reach your fitness goals, just keep driving.
  4. Alcohol-one drink leads to 2, 3, and then a night full of potentially thousands of empty calories, not to mention the belly bloat. It’s best to just avoid alcohol altogether if you’re truly committed to getting into shape.
  5. All Dairy-Dairy is a belly bully and is always a challenge to your digestive system, and can get your gut bacteria out of whack, causing inflammation and adding on the belly inches.
