🥦 Top Foods to Help With Core Strength & Abs

✅ 1. High-Protein Foods – Boost metabolism and help burn fat

• Greek yogurt (unsweetened) – High in protein, helps with satiety

• Eggs – Especially whole eggs; great for muscle repair

• Chicken breast / Turkey – Lean proteins to fuel muscle building

• Salmon / Tuna – Protein + omega-3s help reduce inflammation

• Cottage cheese – Casein protein supports overnight muscle repair

• Tofu / Tempeh – Great plant-based protein options

✅ 2. High-Fibre Foods – Reduce belly bloat and regulate digestion

• Leafy greens (spinach, kale) – Low-calorie, nutrient-rich

• Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower) – Detoxifying, filling

• Berries (blueberries, raspberries) – Low sugar, high fibre, antioxidant-rich

• Avocado – Healthy fats + fibre = flat belly support

• Oats (unsweetened) – Slow-digesting carbs for energy and digestion

✅ 3. Healthy Fats – Support hormone balance and satiety

• Nuts & seeds (almonds, chia, flax, pumpkin seeds) – Fibre + good fats

• Olive oil – Anti-inflammatory fat; use for dressings or cooking

• Fatty fish (again, salmon!) – Omega-3s help with belly fat loss

✅ 4. Flat-Belly Boosters

• Green tea – May increase fat burning

• Lemon water – Helps reduce bloat (not a fat burner, but helps digestion)

• Fermented foods (kimchi, kefir, sauerkraut) – Support gut health = flatter stomach

⚠️ Foods to Limit

• Sugary drinks (including flavoured yogurts and juices)

• Refined carbs (white bread, pastries)

• Processed foods (chips, fast food)

• Excess alcohol (especially beer)

• Bloating foods (carbonated drinks, excessive gum, beans if you're sensitive)

💪 Bonus Tips:

• Stay hydrated – water helps reduce water retention and flush out excess sodium

• Aim for consistent meals and avoid late-night snacking
