Swap this! 11 satisfying foods to flatten you faster


As you know, the more unhealthy food that you eat, the worse it is for your body. And if you like to snack on a bag of potato chips through out the day, that could be even worse! So what do you do? You just cant stop eating, you need your food. Well its easier than you thought. All you gotta do is swap! Want to drop a pound a week? You’ll need to cut about 500 calories a day. Don’t despair! Even if you’re addicted to snacking, all it takes is a few simple food swaps and you can enjoy a flatter belly — without a growling tummy. If you make these substitutions, you’ll not only look slimmer, you’ll be healthier, too. Many of the alternatives that are listed also contain monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) — such as olive oil or nuts — and whole grains. Studies show that both are powerful belly flatteners, as well as being more satiating than saturated fats and refined grains. In other words, you’ll feel fuller with smaller portions. Instead of starting breakfast with a blueberry muffin, prepare a whole grain English muffin topped with 1 tablespoon of blueberry fruit spread. The benefits of eating whole grains are largely derived from the nutrients in the outer layers of the grains, which are stripped away when making white flour and white rice. Whole grains are particularly high in insoluble fiber, which can help regulate digestion and lower bad cholesterol.Instead of drinking a 16-ounce soda, choose water with a squeeze of lemon. For energy it helps to drink water first thing in the morning. Drinking water 30 minutes before meals can help control cravings. Drinking water throughout the day can also boost your metabolism.
