11 Foods That Cause Belly Fat

5. Low-Protein Diets

To fight belly fat, you need protein. High protein diets make you feel fuller longer, increase metabolic rate and help you comfortably decrease caloric intake.

Excellent lean protein sources include skinless chicken, 90% ground beef, beans and lentils, fish, nuts and nut butters, pork, and eggs. Obviously, how you prepare them counts.

Frying or smothering them in sauces is counterproductive. Each of these have huge health benefits like healthy oils, so eating them is two-for-one deal, including the next belly fat fighter.
