Lose weight and achieve your goals the healthy way with this vegan meal plan. While there isn't one magic bullet to lose belly fat, research shows that certain foods, like peanuts and avocado, may help reduce belly fat. Reducing belly fat not only can help you feel more comfortable and confident, but also it's important for your health. Belly fat, also called visceral fat, surrounds our organs and in excess can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and even some cancers. Eating special foods with fat-burning properties is just one piece of the puzzle. Maintaining healthy gut bacteria, getting adequate sleep, reducing stress and eating plenty of fiber all help reduce belly fat. Another key factor is weight loss. Reducing overall calorie intake and increasing exercise significantly helps reduce overall body fat. To help with weight loss, we set this plan at 1,200 calories per day to promote a healthy weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week, and provide modifications to bump it up to 1,500- and 2,000-calorie days, depending on your individual calorie needs.
