Can certain foods reduce abdominal fat?

Post by Jebus »

There are lots of claims that eating, for example, blueberries will help you lose belly fat. This sounds to me like a big lie but I am unable to find any articles debunking the claim. I know that it is impossible to exercise in a way that helps one reduce fat faster in one part of the body, but can certain foods localize a fat burn???

3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

I think the more important question is whether there are any peer review articles really supporting the claim.

It's quite an extraordinary claim, that a food could localize fat burn. I don't believe it, but I'd be open to evidence if I were to be shown some.
