6 Simple Foods That Fight Belly Fat

Excess belly fat is something many of us struggle with.  Did you know there are certain types of vegetables that actually help fight the belly fat war?

 

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, bok choy, Brussel sprouts, kale etc.) contain unique phytonutrients that fight against belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals. There are many tasty ways to simply prepare these fat fighters like roasting broccoli, cauliflower or Brussel sprouts in a little olive oil, garlic, sea salt, pepper at 400 degrees for 20 minutes then add a squeeze of fresh lemon before serving. Bok choy and kale are delicious additions to any stir-fry for a quick fiber packed meal!
