Your body fat depends a lot on what you consume on a daily basis, based on the 20/80 rules: 20% exercise, 80% diet. Sure you do need to keep your body active, but most importantly your diet has to be right. There are certain foods that are just great for your overall health and keeping a low level of fat, especially belly fat, one of the most difficult places to lose fat from, and here are some of the food that will help you reduce belly fat in consuming more often.

1, Nuts.

一，坚果。

Although nuts can be high in fat content, those are the types of fats that are healthy and that our body would need in order for survival. Aside from fats, nuts are also high in protein and fiber, which is a great snack to consume as it can help reduce craving, make you feel fuller, and also helps with any bloating in your abdominal area. They are definitely a great substitute for any carb snacks, such as bread, muffins, and cakes and so on. However, just keep in mind that nuts are naturally higher in calories, so consume them at your own watch. 

2, Olive oil.

二，橄榄油。

Oil, in general, seems to be avoided by many people, as they instinctively associate oil with the number of fats in our body. However, it is more about choosing the right kind of oil to consume that will bring you the most benefits. Extra virgin olive oil is high in healthy monounsaturated fats that will help you feel fuller for a longer time, and they are also great in reducing fat.

3, Oatmeal.

三，麦片。

Oatmeal is one of the top healthiest food in the world, and it shouldn’t be a surprise why it is also excellent for your belly. They are really high in protein but low in calories, making them a great food to consume whether you want to lose weight or build muscle, or even just a simple dish to provide you energy for the day. Oatmeal is also very high in fiber, which is a great food to keep your hunger at stake and prevent you from overeating. 

4, Beans.

四，豆类。

Beans are definitely a healthier choice of protein, as unlike most protein sources, they are plant-based. Due to their high levels of protein, they are excellent for building muscle and reduce craving as they keep you feeling full for a longer period of time. As they are also rich in fiber, they are great for your digestive system, which can help with bloating or any swelling around your abdominal area.

5, Fish.

五，鱼类。

Of all the meat-based protein, fish can be considered one of the healthiest. All fish can be rich in nutrients, but the few best choices would be salmon, tuna, and sardine. These fish are packed with nutrients that are important in our body, such as omega-3 fatty acid and protein, which are both vital in keeping a healthy and toned physique. They are also great for building muscles and helping you curb any cravings. 

6, Leafy Greens.

六，蔬菜。

Everyone knows how eating leafy greens are excellent for your health. One of the main reason would be their low calorie, which makes it difficult to overeat, especially in their uncooked state. Plus, they do contain a high amount of fiber, which is great to keep your cravings at stake and prevent you from overeating. They also do contain lots of vitamins and minerals which are great to keep your tummy from bloating. 

7, Eggs.

七，鸡蛋。

Eggs are great food everyone should include in their diet, as they are cheap, healthy, delicious, and super versatile too! Not only can you cook them in so many different ways, you can also enjoy this great food any time of the day. Eggs are high in protein and packed with tons of nutrients, which doesn’t only provide our body with the vitamins and minerals we need, but they also help us build muscle, keep us full, and eventually lose that belly fat.

8, Whole Grain Products.

八，全麦食品。

Although grain-based products do have a bad reputation, as they are high in carbohydrates and is not ideal for slimming down the belly. However, the key is to choose the right kind of grain, such as going for brown rice instead of white rice or choose whole grain bread over white bread. Since whole grain products have not been refined, their nutrients still exist in them. They are known to be extremely high in fiber, making them a great food choice to prevent cravings and keeping you full.

As people said, you cannot out-exercise a bad diet. So if you really want to see results, you really do need to be committed and determined to a whole new lifestyle, especially focusing on your diet. Believe that you can do it and you will be able to. Don’t be discouraged by others.
