Consume More Soluble Fiber
Eating soluble fiber helps absorb water and creates a gel that helps reduce the food that passes down through the digestive system. Research proves that fiber promotes weight loss by helping the individual feel full, so there is a natural urge to eat less food. Hence, it reduces the number of calories that the body absorbs from food.
Most importantly, soluble fiber is effective at helping reduce belly fat. In observational research in over 1,000 adults, it was discovered that for every 10-gram increment in soluble fiber absorption, the belly fat gain drops by 3.7% over five years. Some foods containing soluble fiber are legumes, blackberries, avocados, flax seeds, and brussels sprouts. [5]
