Fitness Disclaimer: The information contained in this site is for educational purposes only. Since you already know that too much cortisol (the stress hormone) can cause you to cling onto belly fat, work on minimizing stress as much as possible. Practice deep breathing and meditation at least 15 minutes each day. Journal. Take long walks in nature. Do yoga. Whatever brings you a sense of calm, spend more time doing it. It's not just good for your mind, but your body (and belly fat!) too.
As it turns out, almonds aren't the only superstar nuts around. Studies have shown pistachios aren't bad to snack on either. UCLA Center for Human Nutrition researchers divided study participants into two groups, each of which were fed a nearly identical low-cal diet for three months. One group was given 220-calories of pretzels as an afternoon snack, while the other sect munched on 240-calories worth of pistachios. About a month into the study, the pistachio group had reduced their BMI by a point and improved their cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while the pretzel-eaters stayed the same.
