Foods to achieve a leaner belly -
1. Fruits
Fresh fruits eaten the first thing in morning, soon after you get up, shall speed up your weight loss process.
2. Oatmeal
I love oats; they are filling, and taste delicious. Add your favourite fruits and savour the oatmeal. Its high fiber helps maintain satiety and prevents a dip in blood sugar levels. A bowl of natural plain oatmeal also aids in keeping hunger pangs away 
