The fall and winter months can take their tolls on health, more specifically-
weight. If you’re one who tends to put on weight during the fall and winter
months and want a tasty and easy secret to combat it, you’re in luck.

The tasty and easy secret:
Oatmeal.
But wait, you say that you’re already eating it.
Yes, but are you eating it with the foods that specifically target belly fat?
Foods that specifically target belly fat?
Yes, the foods: Almonds, blueberries, coconut, flaxseed and berries.
That’s right- and listed below are the explanation of how each food
targets belly fat.

a) Oats-
Enjoy 1 cup of oats daily and you not only lose weight quickly,
but you’ll also trigger a 200% increase in belly-fat burning.
Oats contain a fiber called beta-glucans, and it’s a type of fiber that creates
a sticky barrier inside us, trapping nutrients for up to 10 hours and releasing
them very slowly and from deep in the digestive tract. It’s a trick proven to
shrink appetite by 400 calories and shift hormones so ab flab quickly turns
to energy.

b) Coconut-
Eat it fresh, shredded, or drink the milk and rev up your metabolism
by 200%. The MCT (medium chain triglycerides) fatty acids in coconut amp
up metabolism.

c) Flaxseed-
A great source of ALA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid that seems to
zap fat-storage hormones- and boost weight loss by 200%.

d) Blueberries-
The blue gems can suppress appetite, block fat absorption, improve
blood sugar and metabolism.

e) Almonds-
Eat a few almonds each day and stimulate 60% more weight loss.

So, there you have it, a bowl of morning (or evening) goodness to trigger
abdominal weight loss.

Some other tips:
Choose unprocessed ingredients- organic, gluten-free oats, fresh or frozen
blueberries, fresh or unsweetened coconut, unsalted almonds and organic flaxseed.
To do: Make your oatmeal and just a small amount of the other ingredients.
And for those who aren’t fans of coconut– you can use protein powder.
One to try: Ghost whey protein, look for it online at GNC.com.

And lastly, you can also make oatmeal cookies, (made without flour, sugar,
butter and eggs) use natural nut butter, coconut milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract,
coconut sugar or maple syrup, coconut oil and the other fat-burning ingredients:
blueberries, almonds and flaxseed.
