Stock Your Refrigerator to Support Your Belly Fat Diet Plan
To stick with your belly fat diet plan and achieve your goal of losing weight, you can stock up on perishable food items so you can always pull together a quick meal when the need strikes. Here are some perishable staples that can keep you full without expanding your waistline:

Whole eggs and liquid egg whites: Whether you eat them alone or add them to recipes, eggs are a fantastic source of complete protein. Liquid egg whites are a great source of low-calorie protein, helping you feel satisfied throughout the day. Having an egg or egg whites for breakfast can also help to fight belly fat. Research has shown that people who eat quality protein for breakfast tend to eat fewer calories overall throughout the day, promoting a healthy body weight.

Avocado: This fruit is a fantastic source of healthy, monounsaturated fat. Multiple studies have found that a diet rich in monounsaturated fats, when compared to a diet high in saturated fats with the same number of calories, helped prevent belly fat from accumulating. So stock up on this easy source of good fats and add some to sandwiches and salads. Or consider making some fresh guacamole (just hold the side of salty tortilla chips!).

Banana: Not only are bananas a great source of filling fiber, but they also contain a high amount of potassium, which helps your body shed excess water weight (which can make your belly look and feel bloated).

Yogurt: Choose fat-free or low-fat varieties of yogurt without added sugar. Rich in filling protein, yogurt also contains live active cultures, which help aid in digestion and reduce constipation (thus helping prevent belly bloat).
