Oatmeal Starting your day off with oatmeal is like stretching at the outset of a jog; it prevents injuries – or overindulgences in this case – and promotes longevity – or the sustainability of a healthy diet. With its combo of complex carbs, protein, iron and fiber, oatmeal keeps everything running smoothly.
Green Tea It’s been shown that drinking green tea can give your metabolism a boost, helping burn away that belly bulge. It contains a compound, ECGC, that makes it easier for your body to let go of that fat it seems to so strongly cling to.
Tomatoes Besides being amazingly versatile, tomatoes are high in water and fiber content, acting as a diuretic to help cleanse toxins from your body, and all on a low calorie count that’s loaded with vitamins C and A.
