The holiday season is definitely the time when your diet is ruined because of all the scrumptious foods that come with the celebration. After the New Year, that is when many people go back to the drawing board and start their diet program.

A New Year Resolution to become fit before the long year ends is one of the most popular promise people make during the start of the year. However, it is easier said than done. If one is committed to start living a healthy lifestyle this year, their program should come with the food they eat, along with regular workouts.

In no particular order, here are the top 5 foods to eat to finally get that flatter tummy you have been daydreaming about.

Avocado

Although Avocado has been known to be rich in fat, Uncommon Wisdom Daily confirmed that the fruit makes people healthy. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association conducted by the researchers at Pennsylvania State University, avocado helps lower down LDL cholesterol.

Fresh fruits

It is certainly not a surprise for fresh fruits to make it in the list. According to the author of "The Six Weeks to Sexy Abs Meal Plan" cookbook, Ella Magers, who also founded the fitness website Sexy Fit Vegan, fruits come with multiple nutrients that give the body its needed energy each day. She added that fruits should be eaten by itself as the body might have a hard time breaking it down if consume together with other foods.

Leafy greens

Eating salads with a lot of leafy vegetables will give plenty of nutrients to the body. Magers cited beet greens as one of her favorites, along with bok choy, which are both heartier vegetables, as reported by Today.

Tempeh

This is one of the favorites for people who observe vegan diet. According to the Daily Meal, Tempeh is a food that can give people long lasting health benefits. This is good for people who want to get that six-pack tummy because it is high in protein and easy to digest.

Flaxseed meal

Mager said that flaxseed meal is good for people on diet because it is one of those foods that is easy to digest. It is also a good alternative for eggs in baked dishes. "Adding a tablespoon to a smoothie thickens it up and also adds fiber, protein and omega 3s," Mager said.
