I read this article on the ABC news website, Get a Flat Stomach, that gave three ingredients for a flat tummy, but they are good for overall dieting too.
- Chew your food thoroughly
- Maintain friendly bacteria
- Eat more fresh, whole foods
The article mentions that exercise is also essential, but we all know that.
By chewing slower you enjoy your food more, it helps your body absorb the nutrients from the food better, and since it will slow down how fast you consume your food it allows for more time so the brain can register the message from your stomach that you have had enough so you eat less.
If your intestinal track lacks friendly bateria your whole digestive track is not functioning properly and your body can’t get the nutrients it needs from the foods you eat, which can cause fatigue, slow your metabolism and other unpleasant, unhealthy symptoms.
Fresh, whole foods are more nourishing and more filling, and just better for you whether you need to lose weight or not. They also provide the fiber needed for your intestines to function properly.
