12 foods that can reduce belly fat

Here are 12 foods that have been shown to specifically target belly fat:

Our Zing Wellbeing meal plans all include these healthy and nutritious ingredients in our recipes to support your dietary requirements and have you living a healthy and long life. 

1. Avocados

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which have been linked to reducing belly fat. They are also packed with fibre and potassium, making them a great addition to any diet.

Our meal plans include lots of avocado recipes including:

  • Chilli prawn and avocado salad
  • Scrambled eggs with Avocado and salsa
  • Spinach & Chicken salad with avocado dressing

2. Berries

Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are all high in antioxidants and fibre, which can aid in belly fat reduction. These fruits are also low in calories, making them a perfect snack option.

Zing Wellbeing meal plans have so many yummy berry recipes including:

3. Oats

Oats are a great source of soluble fibre, which helps you feel full longer and can reduce belly fat over time. Start your day with a bowl of oatmeal for a healthy breakfast choice.

Try our overnight oats with banana

4. Fatty Fish

Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce visceral fat. Incorporate fish into your diet a few times a week for optimal results.

Salmon is one of our most popular foods on the Zing Wellbeing meal plans:

5. Nuts

Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios are all excellent sources of healthy fats, protein, and fibre. Snack on a handful of nuts to keep hunger at bay.

We use lots of nuts and nut butter in our recipes. We include mixed nuts and spicy nuts in our snack plans and also have this delicious nutty brownie recipe.

6. Leafy Greens

Spinach, kale, and collard greens are low in calories but high in nutrients. These greens are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help reduce belly fat.
