Author of Belly Fat Diet for Dummies, Erin Palinksi-Wade, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, shows you that losing fat around your belly doesn’t need to mean cutting out all of your favorite foods. In fact, she says that you should actually be eating more! The difference is in eating the right kind of food. Blueberries, flaxseed, whole grains, grapefruit, and milk are all easy to find and can be great for reducing belly fat. One of the main reasons is that most contain a lot of fiber, which can lower your blood glucose level and keep your body sensitive to insulin. So these are especially healthy foods for people with diabetes.
