Losing weight isn’t easy, and losing belly fat is even harder. Is there a simple and effective way to lose that stubborn fat? The answer is yes. Just adding a certain amount of soluble fiber to your food can help melt belly fat away.

There are two types of plant fiber: Soluble and insoluble. Insoluble means it isn’t able to be broken down by the water and is excreted directly by the body. Eating an excess of insoluble cellulose can cause diarrhea, although it also has helpful roles in the body.
