Green tea
EGCG in green tea promotes fat oxidation and targets visceral fat. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Functional foods said that 12-week supplementation of catechin-rich green tea significantly reduced visceral fat in people with high visceral fat.
Avocado
The monounsaturated fats and soluble fiber in avocados help regulate insulin and hunger, thereby reducing fat. According to a 2021 study by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, a diet that includes one avocado per day helps reduce belly fat in women.
Green leafy vegetables and cruciferous vegetables
The high fiber and antioxidant content in leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables helps you feel full longer, reduces cravings, and reduces visceral fat accumulation.
Fatty fish
Fish such as salmon and sardines contain Omega-3, which helps improve insulin sensitivity and reduce belly fat.
Whole olive oil
Monounsaturated fats and polyphenols in olive oil help reduce visceral fat. A 2020 study published in Metabolites showed that supplementing extra virgin olive oil for two months significantly reduced fatty liver index, weight, body mass index and many other indicators.
Greek yogurt
Whole, unsweetened Greek yogurt is high in protein and probiotics, and is considered a superfood. Yogurt consumption is associated with reduced body mass index (BMI), weight loss and reduced body fat.
