Here’s something you may not know: Did you know that there are foods that are not low calorie and are not vegetables associated
with less belly fat? It means that those who regularly consume them have less visceral fat around the abdomen. And that introducing them to your diet helps eliminate abdominal fat. Yet, as I said immediately, these are not light or diet foods: they are foods at the center of real nutrition paradoxes .

But there is a scientific explanation of why they allow you not to gain weight over time and even lose weight. Let’s see what they are.

4 UNSUSPECTABLE FOODS TO ELIMINATE ABDOMINAL FAT

• Dehydrated fruit.

  Dried or dehydrated fruit such as dried figs, dried dates, dried apricots, raisins are associated with less fat around the abdomen. Penn State’s Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that out of 25,000 people, those who ate dehydrated fruit had a smaller waistline. But how is it possible if dehydrated fruit gives from 300 to 400 calories per 100 grams, or 8 times more calories than fresh fruit, and especially if it is rich in sugar? The explanation is there.

  

• wwe, and also to make better food choices.
  This occurs for two reasons that had already been discovered by previous studies.

• The first and most important is that dehydrated fruit has a higher intake of vitamins and above all mineral salts.

  And that often it is precisely those micronutrients that are lacking in a traditional diet.
  In fact it has traces of copper, selenium, zinc and manganese, but above all it is rich in potassium, folate, antioxidant substances such as lycopene, resveratrol, anthocyanins. And then choline, B vitamins and especially vitamin K. This promotes the health of the musculoskeletal system and helps maintain good levels of vitamin D. All these elements are much more present in dehydrated fruit than, for example, cereals integral.

• The other explanation is that dehydrated fruit has long been found to stave off the craving for junk food .

  This has been seen above all in relation to prunes and raisins. People who eat dried fruit often choose it as an alternative and not in addition to foods such as cookies, chocolates and snacks. So when they are peckish they eat a date or a dried fig (about 30 calories) and not a stuffed biscuit (about 50-70 calories) or a chocolate (70-80 calories).
  The peckishness ceases and the desire to nibble too.

• How to eat it: you can eat fresh fruit between meals and indulge in a piece of dehydrated fruit after lunch, or combine 25 grams of dehydrated fruit in the morning cut into pieces and mixed with low-fat yogurt. Alternatively, before lunch and dinner, a date or a plum appeases excess hunger. For those with high cortisol, a piece of dehydrated fruit before going to bed. (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO)
