Flatten your tummy with these delicious foods!

Flatten your tummy with these delicious foods!
 
Watermelon
This fruit is 92% water, which can help fill you up and rid your body of excess sodium. Plus, this super-sweet, vitamin-C-rich fruit clocks in at less than 100 calories per cup or large wedge, so it's a great snack for people trying to lose weight!
Greek Yogurt
This creamy treat packs about 20 grams of protein per cup, filling your stomach quickly without excess volume or calories. Yogurt also contains potassium, which rids the body of sodium, and beneficial bacteria called probiotics that reduce stomach gas and bloating.
Cucumber
Due to their extremely high 96% water content, the inside temperature of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the outside air, making them a refreshing, low-calorie food. Plus, they're slim-sational: One whole cucumber equals only 45 calories!
Unsweetened Iced Tea and Coffee
Calorie-free and full of antioxidants, these refreshingly cool beverages fill you up and help flush out extra sodium. Instead of sugary lemonade or soda, pour a glass of unsweetened iced green tea for an afternoon treat.
Jicama
Expand your produce horizon and try jicama, a low-calorie root vegetable with a crisp texture and slightly sweet, nutty flavor. A great source of potassium, which has anti-bloat properties, jicama is a high-volume, low-cal snack at just 50 filling calories per cup.
