                 WE SHOULD NOT EAT TO REDUCE

FOODS TO AVOID∶

ΔCheese፡

Cheese is dense in calories and saturated fat. This isn't to say that all dairy is completely off limits (we don't know what we'd do if we had to part ways with mint chocolate chip ice cream)—healthy options like skim milk still supply the body with protein and calcium. Still, if you're aiming for a slimmer midsection, try doing as the French do, and stay away from processed, melted cheese, and eat small portions of additive-free cheeses instead.

ΔSoft Drinks፡

Soda is sweetened with artificial sugars and high-fructose corn syrup, both of which can increase intra-abdominal fat and serve up some unnecessary calories: "Generally, sodas should be avoided completely to reduce bloating and abdominal fat, "Excess sugar that is leftover will be converted to fat and eventually stored in the adipose tissue."

And while diet soda may reduce the calories, the artificially sweet taste triggers your body to produce insulin which then causes higher blood sugar and a larger waist circumference, even if you think you're choosing the "healthier" way.

ΔAlcohol፡

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that weekly happy hour could be doing more harm than good. "Alcohol contains seven calories per gram, which is just slightly less than fat (which contains nine calories per gram), "No matter what type of alcoholic drink it is, alcohol will not help a person who is looking to obtain a flat stomach, let alone try to lose weight." And while this does include wine, it's important to note that some alcoholic beverages have more calories than others (for example, beer has more calories than wine). You don't have to stay away from alcohol completely—just stay away from having more than one drink per sitting.

ΔFruit Juice with Added Sugar፡

Just like soda, most store-bought fruit juices are full of additives, sweeteners, and, yes, high-fructose corn syrup. The same goes for store-bought smoothies.The adipose tissue (where extra sugar gets converted to fat), has an unlimited storage capacity, which makes obtaining a flat stomach difficult to achieve if you're drinking things like fruit juice with added sugar. Instead of your daily juice run, try making your own at home. While that may mean more cleanup for you, you'll be able to taste a difference in the freshness and your waistline will benefit.

ΔRefined Bread፡

Refined carbohydrates like bread are another food that should be limited in a healthy diet. One study found that diets rich in "dense a-cellular carbohydrates" promote inflammation and weight gain.Try replacing your go-to morning bagel with something healthier—think Ezekiel bread, flax-seed bread, rye bread, oat bread, or whole wheat bread. You might even notice a difference in your energy levels throughout the day, and you'll feel full longer.

ΔFried Foods፡

Whether it be a bag of chips or crispy chicken, we'll be the first to admit that fried foods have this magical ability to satisfy a craving. But, as we figured, are you  isn't a fan of fried foods for a defined tummy. "Fried foods will contain more oil, fat, and cholesterol and will contradict the goal towards attaining a flatter stomach," she says. Try oven-baking foods you'd otherwise fry—you'll be using less oil and won't have to sacrifice the crunch.
