Losing weight can be a challenge—and shedding belly fat can be even more difficult. Is there a simple and effective way to get rid of stubborn fat? The answer is yes. Adding more soluble fiber to your diet can help reduce belly fat.

Two Types of Dietary Plant Fibers

There are two types of plant fiber: soluble and insoluble—both are valuable for good health.

Insoluble fiber cannot be broken down by water and is directly excreted from the body. If consumed in excess it can cause diarrhea. Foods with insoluble plant fiber include fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, wheat bran, and whole grains.
