Let's be real. There's no such thing as a "flat" stomach. Our organs need to
live somewhere! But if you're dealing with uncomfortable bloating that causes
your stomach to distend, or are holding on to a little more belly fat than you'd
like, there are certain foods that may help. Gut-friendly foods are your number
one friend, and while there's no single food that can magically make stubborn
belly fat (also called visceral fat) disappear, some studies have shown foods
like kefir, green tea, eggs, artichokes, avocado, peanuts and chickpeas work in
different ways to specifically target that visceral fat. This not only helps to
trim your waistline but also helps to boost your health. When too much visceral
fat surrounds your organs, you're at an increased risk of developing certain
health conditions, like diabetes and heart disease. So losing some of it has
health perks, too. Try our healthy recipes!

SWEET POTATO-PEANUT BISQUE

This satisfying vegetarian, sweet potato soup is inspired by the flavors of West

mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
