Flat Tummy Challenge: Foods to Eat for a Flat Stomach

At MOBILESTYLES, we’re advocates for healthy and natural alternatives to common issues, so today, we’re breaking down the best foods to eat for a flat tummy.

Cucumber

Cucumber contains a high water content, which helps to flush excess sodium in your body (which is a huge cause of bloating). Cucumber also contains anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling and bloating in the stomach area. This is why you see people put cucumbers over their eyes to prevent undereye swelling and bags.

Quinoa

Quinoa is packed full of fiber and protein which helps to keep you fuller longer, and keeps you away from wanting to eat other foods that can cause bloating issues and belly fat. Quinoa is an amazing healthier alternative to rice or pasta, and pairs well with everything.

Asparagus

Asparagus is a natural diuretic which makes you pee more. When you pee, you flush toxins, salt, and excess water that can cause bloating issues. Load up on asparagus to give your body a much-needed flush when you’re feeling heavy.

Banana

Bananas contain a lot of potassium. Potassium-rich foods are best known for decreasing bloating, water retention, and eliminating excess sodium from the body. Bananas can easily be incorporated into smoothies or snacks every day to boost potassium intake.

Almonds

Almonds are a quick, easy, and delicious snack! Almonds contain protein, fiber, and monounsaturates which help to regulate blood sugar making them the perfect snack to achieve a flat tummy. Opt for unsalted almonds to reap all of the benefits.

Mixed Berries

Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and acai berries are low in calories and contain lots of fiber which are two major keys when it comes to shrinking your waistline. Snacking on berries daily, or incorporating them into smoothies is the best way to get all of those great fiber benefits.

These small and easy changes will do wonders to your body. Always remember to pack some of these fiber-packed snacks to help your metabolism! Let us know which snacks you love to munch on for a flat tummy! Tag @mobilestylesapp on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
