Eat Cherries, Lose Belly Fat

By Nicole Duncan

Dried, frozen, or juiced, this tasty fruit comes packed with a bright red punch of powerful antioxidants that help you drop the pounds. A new study from the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center found that a cherry-enriched diet significantly decreases body weight and fat. Lead scientist of the study, Mitch Seymour, says that these antioxidants, called anthocyanidins, could possibly help you lose weight by turning on a fat-burning enzyme. Enjoy about a cup of cherries a day and a diminished waistline! —Nicole Duncan
