We all want a flat mid-section, but are we concentrating too much on working out and not enough on diet? or are we just unsure of what foods to eat that will help with the realization of our goal? Here are 3 foods that will definitely go the distance when it comes to revealing those taught tummy muscles!

1. BEST FOOD: CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES
That means, broccoli, brussels sprouts, asparagus, peppers, and yellow beans, which contain vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, beta-carotene, calcium, magnesium, and fiber.

2. BEST FOOD: MONOUNSATURATED FATS
New research indicates that a diet high in monounsaturated fats like olive oil can help us lose some of that belly fat, even without changing calorie intake or adding in additional exercise.

3. BEST FOOD: VINEGAR
A Japanese study found that the substance that gives vinegar its sour taste and strong odor might fight fat. The study found that in overweight individuals who consumed 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar daily for 12 weeks had significantly lower body weight, BMI, visceral (belly) fat, and waist circumference than the control group that didn’t consume any vinegar. Researchers feel this may be due to vinegar’s acetic acid, which may switch on genes that pump out proteins that break down fat.
