Abdominal fat, especially visceral fat around the intestines in the abdominal cavity, is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes by causing metabolic syndrome, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance.
To reduce visceral fat, improving eating habits is the first priority. Carbohydrate intake should be reduced and protein intake should be increased. It is also recommended to consume a lot of water and limit instant foods.
Reflecting the opinions of experts, the U.S. health media 『Eatingwell" recommended seven foods to buy every week if you want to lose visceral fat"
First, low-fat pork. Four ounces (113.4 g) of pork tenderloin contains 24 g of protein and other important nutrients such as zinc, choline, iron, and vitamin B12. And due to the low fat content, less than 1g of 2g of fat per serving is saturated fat.
Second, frozen shrimp is also good. A 3-ounce (85 g) frozen shrimp provides 2 g of fat (0 g of saturated fat) and 22 g of protein.
Third, canned beans are a good source of fiber and protein. One cup of canned chickpeas provides 12 g of protein, 11 g of fiber.
Fourth, plant-based proteins such as tofu are also helpful. Studies also show that overweight people lost more total weight and visceral fat than the control group maintaining the normal diet when they consumed a vegan diet for four months.
Fifth, nuts are also effective in promoting satiety and weight loss. Studies have also shown that when nuts were eaten as a snack instead of pretzels for 4 months, they were more likely to reduce abdominal fat and reduced the risk of metabolic syndrome.
Sixth, oats are rich in beta-glucan, which lowers cholesterol levels and helps reduce abdominal fat and overall weight loss.
Lastly, berries such as strawberries. Studies have shown that people who consume more fruit tend to have less visceral fat, with berries helping to maintain a sense of fullness with abundant fiber.
