Belly Fat to Flat, Foods That Add and Subtract Stomach Bulge

I've lost 97 pounds and dropped from size 20 to size 3/ 4. I've gotten my BMI from 34 to 23. I gained 100 pounds after losing two stillborn babies. I put on weight all over, but especially in the stomach. Belly fat has always been my nemesis. So I research what causes and cures belly fat. Some advice is contradictory, so I follow trusted physicians like Dr. Oz, and my personal experience. The trick is to avoid saturated fat, highly-inflammatory, sugary, salty and bloating foods. Eat healthy MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids), metabolism-boosters, omega-3 fatty acids, flavonoids, fermented foods, vitamin C. Here's an A-Z guide of foods that add and subtract to tummy bulge.  Belly Fat or Flat, Foods That Boost and Burn Stomach Bulge

Not being body-perfect doesn't stop them wearing a bikini. And it shouldn't. But personally, no matter how toned I get, I'll never wear one. Not to be prudish, it's just too revealing.  But there are problems with one piece, too. Here's a workaround. Diet Tip Workaround for One Piece or Bikini Bathing Suit Dilemma
