Choose foods such as eggs, lean protein (especially fish like salmon), tofu, whole grains, and MUFAs (like avocado, nuts, seeds, and olive oil).

You can also diminish visceral fat around your inner organs by eating fiber-rich veggies such as greens and beans, as well as berries like blueberries. Make one of these delicious lunch recipes, and fight belly fat with each bite!
