So, you need to take fat daily in your meal, but in appropriate quantities. Go for canola or olive oils, instead of the vegetable oils which are having trans-fat.

Dairy Products : While we are losing weight, we avoid the intake of dairy products completely or restrict it. But a miniscule amount of fat can help you in getting the belly fat reduced – yes this is absolutely true!

Dairy products do have calcium, which breaks down fat depositories and also prevents them from getting formed again. Just opt for fatless or low fat dairy products.

This prevents formation of fat and also breaks down fat deposition. This type of cheese also has protein which prevents us from getting sudden hunger pangs.

Nuts : Munching few nuts everyday can keep hunger at bay. Don’t buy the salted nuts, only the plain ones. Nuts can keep you more satisfied than rice cakes. But don’t take nuts in excessive amount, just moderate quantities.
