Marcella La Cioppa Experts believe that adding this popular food to your diet and eating it 'five days a week' could reduce your waistline.
There’s no silver bullet when it comes to weight loss, considering how many different factors play into the equation. Even still, Dr. William Li maintains that you can help reduce belly fat and waist size in as little as a few days by adding one food into your diet daily: beans. Speaking on the Feel Better, Live More podcast, Dr. Li discussed how everyday foods can bolster the burning of “harmful body fat.”
A simple can of white beans
In fact, it’s been shown that just one serving of inexpensively-priced white beans a week for five days can yield results of a reduction in waist size due to targeting bad body fat.
What’s inside a bean?
Beans contain a seriously impressive amount of dietary fiber and some healthy legume fats. Of course, how you are preparing them makes a world of a difference.
To give even more power to your body and give it that possible fat-burning boost, Dr. Li also recommended adding extra virgin olive oil.
Dr. Li is by no means a loner in appreciating the potential benefits coming from beans. Scientists from the Shanghai Clinical Center for Diabetes claim that beans can potentially assist people in keeping their weight under control.
Also, nutritionist Rob Hobson said to Diabetes.co.uk:
Beans could, in theory, help people lose weight. However, spreading butter on toast would negate any effect.”
Adding beans to your diet is helpful, but preparation is everything. You will find the best possible outcome when you combine a balanced diet that meets your nutritional needs with regular physical activity.
