abdominal fat
Abdominal fat has been linked to meat, egg, and milk consumption. Poultry consumption, in particular, appears linked to an expanding waist circumference (see here and here). On the other hand, plant foods may have slimming effects (as with beans, soy in particular, and nuts) and enhance abdominal fat loss from exercise (as with green tea).
