We all aspire to a flat stomach, but despite intense workouts and strict diets, it’s often very difficult to get rid of belly fat. The key to losing a few pounds is avoiding certain foods. Here’s a list of ten foods to avoid if you want a flat stomach.
Alcoholic beverages are often high in calories. But that’s not all: alcohol also increases appetite and alters the part of the brain responsible for satiety. So, even if you feel full, a glass of beer can easily be accompanied by unnecessary snacks. Furthermore, alcohol slows down the metabolism, making it harder to burn calories. To avoid these effects, opt for wine or beer without added snacks and avoid cocktails, which are often high in sugar.
Sodas
Carbonated drinks are full of empty calories and slow down your metabolism, causing your body to store more fat. Diet sodas aren’t any better because they contain artificial sweeteners that can increase hunger. A can of soda contains about 150 calories and causes bloating due to the carbon dioxide. Store-bought fruit juices aren’t an ideal alternative because they’re often full of sugar and devoid of nutritional value. Choose water or homemade iced, unsweetened infusions.
