How to lose visceral fat: Adding more pulses into your diet could help burn the belly fat

Pulses can be bought tinned or dried and both are easy to use.

Tinned pulses have already been soaked and cooked, so just heat them or add straight to salads cold from the tin, after draining.

Dried pulses need a little more preparation. With the exception of lentils and split peas, dried pulses need to be soaked in cold water before cooking.

Cooking times vary depending on the type of pulses and how old they are, so follow instructions.

Dried kidney and soya beans contain toxins, so it’s important to make sure that they have been cooked properly, to destroy the toxin, before you eat them.
