The popular saying “abs are made in the kitchen” isn’t a passing comment made by someone who just doesn’t feel like doing more crunches — it’s truth.
In order to gain the energy you need to actually burn more fat from your belly, you need to fuel your body with plenty of lean proteins that will help you get rid of belly fat even faster than planks (but definitely keep the planks in your routine).
Instead of counting calories to shed belly fat, Nutritionist Alan Aragon told Women’s Health UK a better approach is to focus on what and when you eat. Enjoy your biggest meal after a workout and count on lean proteins to help you lose weight and keep your appetite under control.
“If your goal is to curb uncontrollable hunger after a workout, try lean beef, poultry, or fish – protein-rich foods tend to be very filling,” Aragon says. “Pair that meat with whole-food, high-fibre carbohydrate sources such as beans. Fibre is another element that can help you feel satiated quickly.”
Add these four lean proteins to your diet, keep sugary foods and refined carbs to a minimum, rely on cardio and strength training in your workout, and you’ll have flatter abs in no time.
