8. Whole grains: You definitely want to stay away from refined carbs like white bread, when you are working on your abs. Go wholegrain on everything, because, as well as the extra fibre, whole grains reduce your response to insulin, which will help stop belly fat forming around your waist. A study that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated that people who followed a calorie-controlled diet that was high in whole grain foods lost more weight from around their waists.
9. Monounsaturated fats: You probably already know that foods high in monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil, are good for the heart and the cardiovascular system, but did you know that they can also help you to shed some pounds. Recent research has even suggested that monounsaturated fats could even help to lose weight, without reducing the number of calories that you eat.
