I took this information from this month's First magazine for women. It's from an article on the Eat-Clean weight loss plan, developed and written by Tosca Reno (who is an amazing woman, by the way).
FLAXSEED: Eating flax is one of the best things you can do for your waistline. The s
eeds' lignans cleanse the digestive tract of up to 6 pounds of waste per week, plus help to enhance the liver's metabolism of body fat. The easiest way to eat flax is buying it ground and adding it to oatmeal, smoothie or protein shake. http://www.drugstore.com/ has a 16oz container for $8, and it lasts quite a while.
YOGURT: Women who eat 3 servings of plain yogurt daily loose 61% more fat --and 81% more belly fat--than women who pass on dairy, according to s study in the International Journal of Obesity. Yogurt is rich in branched chain amino acids which stimulate the production of parathyroid hormone and calcitriol; compounds that work together to promote the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue and increase the ability of muscle and liver cells to convert these fats to energy.
MUSHROOMS: A lunch that's rich in mushrooms helps women to consume 400 fewer calories throughout the day according to a study done at Johns Hopkins University. It also suggests that a 1 cup serving a day can help women loose 13lbs of belly fat over a 2 month period. The polysaccharides in mushrooms help to block fat formation and rev metabolic rate.
SOY: Consuming soy helps your body to fight fat at the cellular level by working inside cellular mitochondria to activate fat burn and stimulate weight loss wit
hin 72 hours--even without calorie restriction! Additional research also shows that soy's anorectic peptides help to reduce the formation of new abdominal fat by 57%.
