Salt can have a negative effect on any weight loss routine, which can sabotage your ability to lose troublesome belly fat. Especially short term, this is a quick way to limit bloat and get a flatter stomach.  Bloating in the stomach often results from carrying excess water. Water retention in the body is related to a heavy intake of sodium.  Decrease your sodium intake. Read food labels to see how much sodium is in the products you consume. Be careful, however, as labels can be deceitful. Sometimes, a bag of chips doesn't look too unhealthy until you realize the nutritional information is "per serving" and the bag comes with 2.5 servings. Be realistic about how much of a product you expect to eat and calculate how much sodium you'll consume.  Avoid processed foods and do not add too much salt to table foods. Watch out for canned vegetables and soy sauces, which can be salt-heavy. Protein is the single most important nutrient of weight loss. Eating the right breakfast has been shown to reduce cravings. Research shows that your body uses more calories to metabolize proteins than fat and carbs. Also, studies show that increasing protein intake by 25% has reduced late night snacking by half and obsessive thoughts about food by 60%. Whole wheat is just the beginning. For a flat, trimmed stomach, the bulk of your calories should come from healthy foods.  Ditch sugary and processed foods. Potato chips, TV dinners, and fast foods should be purged from your diet.  Beans and other legumes are high-quality carbohydrates packed with protein. Beans tend to help you feel fuller faster and help you burn fat after a workout. Try swapping out meats like chicken and beef for black, pinto, or kidney beans for a few meals each week.  Berries, such as blueberries and strawberries, are low-calorie and a good source of essential vitamins that can keep your body healthy. Keep a bowl of berries in your fridge if you need a snack and go for that over pretzels or sweets.  Nuts are filled with heart-healthy fat and are filling enough to reduce hunger cravings. Be careful, however. While healthy, nuts are high-calorie and it's easy to accidentally go overboard and end up gaining weight by overeating.
