Here're 4 Diet Tips To Lose Belly Fat:

Fibre promotes satiety and improves digestion, which further leads to the processing of calories from food. Anjali Mukerjee suggests high-fibre foods like oat bran, wheat bran and jowar to be included in your diet. Here are more high-fibre foods you can pick for your weight loss diet.
2. Avoid Refined Carbs
Refined carbs can hamper hormone balance and make it difficult to lose weight. If you want to get rid of your belly fat, avoid foods with refined carbs, - like cakes, pizzas, white bread and white rice. Instead, opt for healthier carbs present in whole grains, oats, brown bread etc.
3. Cut Down On Carbs Post 40
Our ability to burn carbohydrates as fuel goes down as we age, especially after the age of 40. The nutritionist suggests reducing the consumption of all kinds of carbs - good and bad - by 40 per cent as soon as your turn 40.
4. Eat Small Meals
Eating less quantity of food creates a calorie deficit, which works well to burn calories, especially around the stomach area. Make it a point to eat smaller meals every 4 hours than eating large three meals a day.
