Reducing Belly Fat with a Low-Carb, Polyphenol-Rich Diet

Video | Belly Fat Vicious Cycle | How Polyphenols Help Reduce Belly Fat | Polyphenol-Rich Foods | Takeaway

Deep belly fat, or visceral fat, that is stored around the abdominal organs is linked to significant health risks, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.

There are proven strategies for reducing belly fat. One that I’ve covered extensively on my blog is a low-carb diet. Another strategy is to boost your intake of polyphenols.

But here’s the thing: Polyphenols come from plants, and because plants make carbohydrates through photosynthesis, boosting polyphenols means you boost your carb intake.

Is there a way to marry these two strategies? In other words, can you enjoy your polyphenols and have your low-carb diet benefits, too? Absolutely, and not only is it enjoyable because of the great foods you get to eat, but it is also easy to follow and effective.  

This blog post shares how polyphenols help to reduce belly fat and the low-carb foods that contain them.
