Why is it that the words ”burning belly fat” immediately catch our attention? (haha). There like magnets for us women. Any ways, the important thing for a balanced and flat tummy is to eat natural and foods that are packed with nutrients. Here are some magical ones that come recommended by NaturalNews.com (p.s. sign up for their awesome newsletter).

Apples: An apple a day, keeps the doctor away! The fruit contains pectin, a compound that is known to inhibit colon cancer. It also contains nutrients such as vitamin c, beta-carotene, dietary fiber, phytosterol, flavnoids, antioxidants, and other minerals.

Bananas: Like apples, this guy also contains pectin! And a bunch of other good stuff like vitamin A, C, E, B6, potassium, calcium, & magnesium.

Celery: Hello it contains 8 calories! No brainer…. It is high in vitamin C (cool), calcium, and should be enjoyed raw.

Avocados: Can you say anti-bacterial and anit-fungal properties? YES you can… cause that’s exactly what you’ll find in this fruit. It contains amino acids (love), lecithin (which helps prevent liver overload), and helps the body to balance weight.

And these will do the trick too… watermelon, tomatoes, kelp noodles (making those tonight) & tart cherries.

I’m one lucky duck to live right next door to this place….

Banana Nut Shake: 1 frozen/sliced banana, almond or cashew milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.

On occasion, I love myself a kick-ass vegan soup – like the one I had tonight at The Green Table… Night everyone!

Yes it’s true, my boyfriend Stefan actually came to a Kundalini yoga class with me this morning and behold… he enjoyed it (OMG). So that’s the reason I’m eating this delicious veggie wrap from Organic Avenue alone… cause the trade was brunch with his buddies. It’s ALL GOOD. Baby steps ya’ll…

Did I say it contains all the Vitmamin A I need for today?

Dulse is natural source of vitamin B12. You don’t need to eat pigs, cows, and unnatural supplements to get this vitamin in your system… Just throw some salty & chewy dulse on your salad next time.
