Whole Wheat Bread

Eating whole wheat bread in place of refined white bread may help you trim your total body fat as well as that much hated belly bulge. A study in the Journal of Nutrition showed that people who ate about 3 servings of whole grains a day had about 2.4 percent less body fat and 3.6 percent less abdominal fat than those who ate barely any whole grains at all. Aim for at least three servings of whole grains daily (a slice of whole wheat bread equals one serving). Other great sources: whole grain cereal oats bulgur quinoa and brown rice.
