The Do Foods of Abs

Every meal must have a low glycemic load and not raise glucose too high or too suddenly. Research has established that high-protein diets are more effective for fat loss than low-calorie or low-fat diets. Most of your meals will consist of meat and vegetables. Meat choices include grass-fed beef, lean pork, lamb, bison, fish, seafood, chicken, turkey and eggs. Fermented dairy like cottage cheese and natural Greek yogurt are fine. If you like cheese, stick to the hard cheeses, since they contain less lactose. But they’re still pretty calorically dense, so eat them only occasionally.

Fruits contain sugars and may slow your fat-loss efforts, especially starchy fruits like bananas and super-sweet tropical fruits. Nuts are healthy but are very calorically dense. Have a handful of almonds, walnuts or macadamias once in a while. Your carb sources will be slow-digesting foods like sweet potato, yams, quinoa, oats and brown rice. Your fat sources will be olive oil, coconut, avocado, meats and nuts. Water, black coffee, tea and sparkling water are the only things you should drink. Stick to whole foods and avoid processed foods as much as possible.
