Fitness guru Michelle Lovitt hasn’t counted kilojoules since the ’80s. Her secret? Fill your fridge with clean foods that make healthy eating a cinch. Here’s a sneak peek inside her science-loaded shelves.
- Green Tea
Studies say if you drink four cups daily for three months you’ll have less belly fat. Nice!
- Sprouted Wholegrain Bread
Enzymes in sprouted bread make the grains easier to digest.
- Organic Apples
Soluble fibre in apple skin helps to stabilise blood sugar levels.
- Mushrooms
Mushrooms are high in vitamin D—linked to fat loss in post-menopausal women.
- Tomatoes & Garlic
Tomatoes have cortisol-lowering C, while garlic boosts metabolism and regulates blood sugar.
- Blueberries
These tiny blue gems contain antioxidants that help the body burn fat.
- Avocado
A good source of belly-fat-quelling fatty acids, great for salads and smoothies.
- Kale & Broccoli
Contain indole-3-carbinol that help reduce oestrogens.
- Chicken & Turkey
Aim to get 30% of your energy from lean protein.
- Greek Yoghurt
Yoghurt is rich in protein, with bloat-busting probiotics.
- Lemon Water
High levels of vitamin C can reduce cortisol, while staying hydrated wards off bloating.
- Salmon
A regular on Lovitt’s grill. This pink fish is packed with omega-3s, fatty acids that help build muscle.
