The main danger of visceral fat lies in the harmful chemicals it releases into
the bloodstream, which has been linked to a higher risk of a heart attack. As
with different types of weight loss, the most logical approach to reducing fat
storage involves exercise and restricting food intake. Adding certain foods to
one's diet, however, may be equally beneficial for losing visceral fat. Some
plant-based products, such as tofu, may help reduce cravings by a staggering 60
percent.

Those seeking to reduce abdominal fat are strongly advised to avoid products
that encourage fat deposition.

But adding certain foods to one's diet could directly impact fat deposition, by
helping curb hunger.

Past studies have shown that a higher intake of protein reduces cravings by 60
percent.



It’s also been established that protein consumption can boost metabolism by
80-100 calories per day.

In one body of research published in the journal Obesity in 2011, researchers
set out to determine the effects of dietary protein on perceived appetite during
weight loss.

They experimented on a sample of 27 overweight and obese men.

The sample was split up into three groups, two of which consumed high-protein as
three or six meals a day, while a third consumed three meals of a traditional
intake.

The study determined that increasing protein intake to make up 25 percent of
calories could reduce cravings by 60 percent.

The findings also revealed this could reduce the desire to snack at night in
half.

But protein intake has also been found directly associated with a reduced
abdominal circumference.

Research published in the journal Nutrition and Metabolism in 2012 confirmed
this, stating that people who eat more protein had less abdominal fat.

The findings reinforce separate research published in the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition, which highlighted the prolonged effects of protein intake.

The authors of the 2006 paper established that protein intake was associated
with a significantly reduced chance of abdominal fat gain in women over five
years.

They also linked fruits and vegetables to reduced fat storage.

One finding consistent in most aforementioned bodies of research is that
lowering effects of protein intake can be observed after consuming between 25
and 30 percent of calories from protein.

The medical website Medicine Net confirms these findings, stating that a diet
high in plant protein can help shed belly fat “overnight”.

Plant protein can be found in sour, or nuts and seeds such as almond, pecans and
sunflower seeds, states the health body.
