New Flat Belly Foods
Provided by Prevention
Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, spends hours in supermarkets. As a registered dietitian, Prevention's Grocery Guru, and coauthor of Flat Belly Diet!, it's her job to wade through the 20,000-plus new foods and drinks that hit the shelves each year. Here are her new favorites.
These items are quick, healthy, easy , and delicious. Plus, they're all belly flattening! That means they either provide 200 calories or less per serving to help you lose weight, or they're chock-full of one or both of these belly-fat-attacking nutrients: MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) and whole grains.
Several studies reveal that a diet rich in MUFAs may help reduce belly fat and increase fat burning in people with larger waistlines. And, a new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that whole grains may help you lose twice as much belly fat.
These foods are more than weight loss aids -- they can help you meet your health goals. And rest assured, they're not "processed," even if they do come in packages. Happy shopping!

SIDE DISH
Kashi Seven Whole Grain Pilaf, Original 7 Grain Seven whole grains including oats, long-grain brown rice, and barley in a ready-to-eat pouch (whole grains are linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity). Just microwave and dress with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and chopped scallions for a delicious side dish. One cup provides 250 calories with nearly 30 of your daily fiber needs, 8 g of protein, and 10 of the DV for iron.

POTATO CHIP
Corazonas Heart-Healthy Potato Chips, Slightly Salted Forty percent less fat than regular potato chips and infused with natural plant sterols proven to lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. They're thick, crunchy, and satisfying. The trick is sticking to one serving: one-sixth of a bag (portion it out into a small bowl and put the rest away), which provides 130 calories, 6 g of fat, and 0.5 g of saturated fat, with a bonus 2 g of fiber.

Perfect by itself or in cereal, oatmeal, smoothies, or puddings. All of the flavors provide 20 of a day's calcium, 25 of vitamin D, and 50 of vitamin E.

While many choices are good...there is NO MENTION of SODIUM CONTENT.HARDLY EVER MENTIONED---ANYWHERE. It is listed on the packages, like 657 mg. for 1 oz; 819 mg. for 3 oz; 457 mg for 1 tbsp.When you consider...if you ingest more than 2,000 mg of sodium ad day...you are headed for CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE.Outside of damaging your heart...it puts on belly fat-FAST!!!Start reading the SODIUM CONTENT on the label. You'll think twice about eatingHOT DOGS, CANNED SOUP, POTATO SOUP, FROZEN PIZZA (any PIZZA for that matter), CANNED TUNA FISH, IMITATION CRAB...YOU GET THE IDEA...

Fiber! Fiber! Fiber! Fiber is your first line of defense to fighting obesity as well as many of today's common diseases. Adding soluble fiber from oat bran, psyllium or oat meal can help lower cholesterol. Adding insoluble fiber like wheat bran can help with regularity. Fiber can help make you feel full which helps you eat less and lose weight while feeling satisfied. Of course, fiber has lots of health benefits in addition to making you feel full - everything from helping with constipation, helping manage diabetes and cholesterol and lowering the chances of heart disease.I like to get my fiber from Miracle Muffins http://www.miraclemuffins.com These muffins contain wheat bran, oat bran, psyllium, flax seeds, chicory fiber and sunflower seeds. Each muffin is only 100 calories with 7 grams of fiber, 9 grams of protein and 3 grams of fat!Several spices have also been shown to help increase metabolism. Some of these are black pepper, ginger and capsaicin. You can get them in capsul
