Weekly menu to lose abdominal fat

We asked a nutritionist to guide us on our journey against abdominal fat with a weekly diet that directly attacks the rebellious Michelin star. Goodbye beer gut!

When summer arrives, we are all in a rush to get as fit as possible. And of course, there are areas of our bodies that tend to accumulate fat, unless you are one of those lucky ones who seem carved out of marble by Michelangelo himself. The abdomen is one of those dangerous areas for the accumulation of the commonly called love handles . And fighting them is a daunting task, which takes a lot of effort to achieve the goal of scoring a six pack.

But at Men's Health we are always looking for ways to help you, and for this we have spoken with Jessica Hierro, sports dietitian-nutritionist at the Clinica Alimmenta , in Barcelona.

This prestigious nutrition professional has prepared a weekly menu for us (yes, they prefer to talk about menus instead of diet, since the first implies long-term food education, and the second term is more ephemeral) ideal to put an end to that abdominal fat that tells us so much to say goodbye. Of course, apart from following the indications that Alimmenta sends us, it is advisable to alternate this healthy diet with exercise, especially because the results will be more satisfactory, our body will thank us, and the results, with a bit of luck, They will be more obvious faster.

That yes, the rush, as always, are not good advisers. We recommend that you take things easy, and that with this menu you educate your diet to fight, and finish once and for all if you know how to take care of yourself, with those unsightly and unhealthy love handles.

This is the weekly menu that Jessica Hierro recommends so that this summer we show off our best, and healthiest, hearts of palm:
