2. Watermelon

Watermelon is the ideal food for belly fat reduction, says the American Dietetic Association. Watermelon has 91 per cent water; it fills you up quickly and fights cravings. The food is rich in minerals like magnesium and potassium, and vitamins B1, B6, and C.

According to a study conducted at the University of Kentucky, people who consumed two glasses of watermelon juice daily for 2 months saw a significant decrease in body weight, particularly belly fat, without a change in muscle mass. Studies also reveal that regular intake of this food reduces risk of heart disorders and accumulation of plague in coronary artery.
