Eat Fermented Foods and Lose Belly Fat?

Widely available fermented products
 

A really interesting recent study in the European journal of clinical nutrition found that drinking a probiotic rich fermented milk drink over a period of 12 weeks lowered abdominal fat by 5% without any further dietary intervention when compared to a control group.  Abdominal fat was measured using Computer tomography scans, the most accurate measure of body fat.
You can benefit from this information by including fermented products in your diet such as kefir (fermented milk), lassi, sauerkraut, miso,  kombucha and pickled fermentations of cabbage, aubergine, onions, squash and carrots.
