The 10 Best Foods for Flat Abs

Try these ab-flattening foods to boost your abs routine's effectiveness, control belly bloat, and maintain a healthy metabolism. Here, the top 10 foods for flat abs.

Almonds

These delicious and versatile nuts contain filling protein and fiber, not to mention vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant. They're also a good source of magnesium, a mineral your body must have in order to produce energy, build and maintain muscle tissue, and regulate blood sugar. "A stable blood-sugar level helps prevent cravings that can lead to overeating and weight gain," says David Katz, MD, a professor at the Yale University School of Medicine. But what makes almonds most interesting is their ability to block calories. Research indicates that the composition of their cell walls may help reduce the absorption of all of their fat, making them an extra-lean nut.

Try for: An ounce a day (about 23 almonds), with approximately 160 calories. An empty Altoids tin will hold your daily dose perfectly.

Try these healthy recipes:

Almond Cookie Cups with Sorbet

Papaya & Olives with Brown Rice

Blueberry & Toasted Almond Muesli

Strongly dislike the format. Takes too much time to flip screens that rarely line up to instantly read. Hardly ever go past the first panel when in that style. What ever happened to the simple, straightforward newspaper style?

Really dislike the waste of time to switch from panel to panel. What is wrong with the newspaper style format for quick, simple, easy to read information? May be good information, but don't have/want to take the time to flip screens that rarely end up in a readable location.

I wish I could eat almonds but we are a nut free home so I would never eat them! Instead, our family chooses healthy whole foods and drinks lots of water and I take my Vidazorb probiotic to help with digestion which then helps with my weight. I love just making healthy choices in many areas!
