Addiction to diet sodas
The worst drink that makes pounds stick to your belly is diet soda. There are plenty of brands and all these sparkling drinks are your enemies. Do not trust them even if they promise that they contain no calories. Instead of calories you would drink you will simply eat them in foods. Thinking that your drink is zero-calorie will make you believe that you can let yourself eat more.
Quit your low-fat diet
As a matter of fact, it is not even fat that makes you gain pounds. It is the quality of fat that you consume. Monounsaturated fatty acids, also known as MUFAs, on the contrary, help you shed belly fat. This has already been proven by a study. A 1,600-calorie diet that lasted for about a month helped the controlled group of women to get rid of 30% of their belly fat. The result was achieved due to MUFAs that the group regularly consumed. They had a handful of nuts, some avocado or a tablespoon of olive oil with every meal.
