The 10 Best 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.

Papaya & Olives with Brown Rice

5/13/2011 07:17:38 AM Report AbuseI 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!
