You can't down 3,000 calories a day and expect to lose your belly, but calories aren't the entire story. Certain foods seem to pack pounds on the midsection. So if you want to lose what they call ab fat, listen up. Try eating fruits and vegetables. Especially orange ones. In a new study, women trimmed their waists by replacing refined grains like white bread with carbs from fruits and vegetables. Add some protein. Eating more protein keeps you full and boosts energy, which leads to overall weight loss and – for those over 40 – reduced ab fat. And finally, drink a glass of wine a day. Don't start drinking wine just to fight ab fat, but if you enjoy a glass with dinner, it's a great benefit.
