3 “Healthy” Foods You Should Stop Eating to Burn Belly Fat

By on December 23, 2011 in Diet to Burn Belly Fat

I remember when I started on the quest to burn belly fat, I began with the idea to “eat healthy.” I started by cutting out all the “junk foods.” This meant no more things like chips, cookies, etc – all the obvious things. Then I started trying to eat a more “balanced” diet. One of my favorite ways of doing this was by switching to soy products – soy milk, soy nuts for snacks, etc. I also like to create turkey sandwiches for lunch on whole grain bread – the stuff that has no enriched wheat in it. I thought ‘hey it has no enriched wheat so its healthy.’

While these sorts of things might help you eat a ‘balanced diet’ or a ‘healthy diet’ – our goal is to burn belly fat. Besides, the concept of a ‘balanced diet’ is rather arbitrary – it’s really just political nonsense more than any sort of scientific inquiry. If you study what more primal humans ate as food, they contained no wheat or soy products, and they didn’t contain very much fruit. There is a subset of health nuts who create diets based on these ideas.

Today I want to share with you an article that details three foods which are often referred to as ‘healthy’ but that you should actually avoid if you want to lose belly fat. One of those foods is wheat. The other two are corn and soy. You probably have heard or read that you should avoid high fructose corn syrup – it’s used instead of sugar in many drinks because it is incredibly cheap to produce – but what about all the other things that are made of corn? And corn itself?

Remember our goal is to burn belly fat – and this requires specific planning. You may need to stop eating certain things that you enjoy – but after you lose that belly fat, then you can return to it.

Are Energy Drinks ok While Trying to Burn Belly Fat?

By on November 30, 2011 in Diet to Burn Belly Fat

It took me a long time to figure out some key information about the body when it comes to weight loss. Specifically when you want to burn belly fat, there is a lot of misinformation. As we saw in the article about veggies that burn fat, it isn’t just about ‘eating less’ or having a ‘balanced diet.’ Those approaches are too straightforward – too simple – they are a marketer’s answer to the weight loss problem. “All you have to do is eat less, eat healthy, and exercise!” That’s what a personal trainer tells you right?

The key to those claims is that ultimately, they often can work – but it isn’t terribly efficient, and often it isn’t healthy – particularly the “eat less” claim. Unless of course, you are going from eating 8 meals a day to 3 effectively, then yes “eating less” is good. The main problem I have run into with the ‘eating less’ track is that of energy. I often found myself low on energy and I would supplement with energy drinks.

Well I have an article to share with you today on that particular subject. Just how good or bad are Energy Drinks for you? Obviously if you go with a full sugared energy drink then you might as well be downing soda loaded with extra herbs and chemicals designed to make you ‘feel’ like you have more energy. The most common energy drinks are basically loaded with caffeine, sugar, and some other herbs that do a little bit – this gives that jittery awake feeling in the head. Then there are energy drinks which load you full of B complex vitamins.

Even the energy drinks without sugar use artificial sweeteners – I haven’t read a single report that shows artificial sweeteners are good for you, and I’ve read a number of research reports that show they are bad for you in numerous ways, and in some cases are worse than actually just having a regular sugared drink.

So check out this article on Energy Drinks – it’s important to know everything that you may put into your body when you are trying to burn belly fat. This article even has a tip on making your own home-made “energy drink” which isn’t laden with chemicals and other things that will hinder your ability to burn belly fat. Pretty cool!

3 Secret Veggies for a Diet to Lose Belly Fat

By on November 18, 2011 in Burn Belly Fat, Diet to Burn Belly Fat

When one aims to lose weight or get in shape, the obvious topic of ‘diet’ comes into play. I think the term gets a bad rap – everyone is on some kind of diet all the time, so I think ‘going on a diet’ is a misnomer. In fact, I think it puts one in the wrong sort of mental state. However, it is important to plan out a diet to lose belly fat. I also know from experience, that when you ‘start a diet’ that there are many challenges. One thing that really helps if you can understand how good it feels to eat a well planned set of meals. That is the element which was absent for me – all I could think about is “you mean I can’t eat the food I love and I have to eat this other stuff?” That is one of the secrets though – when you have well structured meals that are designed to burn fat, you actually feel REALLY good all the time.

I want to share with you an article that talks about some specific veggies that you can eat which will help you burn belly fat. These are going to be key in structuring a diet to lose belly fat. This secret here is three unique vegetables that actually fight abdominal fat. I bet that when you read or hear about ‘diets’ they either center around carbohydrates or protein. There’s low carb diets, no carb diets, high protein diets. Then there are the ‘balanced’ diets which encourage you to eat ‘health’ by getting a ‘balanced’ amount of whole grains, fruits, veggies, lean meats, nuts and the like. Let me tell you, this is fantastic if you are in shape and just want to be generally health with no goals. We are here talking about a diet to lose belly fat though. There are specific foods that – while generally healthy for a healthy person – don’t help to burn fat, and in fact can hinder fat burning (which isn’t a problem if you have none).

It’s not about quantities of carbohydrates, or protein – it’s about finding specific foods that interact with your body in a specific way to burn belly fat. Check out this article for tips on three unique vegetables that actually do this – they fight ab fat. This article will explain how certain chemicals react with the hormones in your body and how THAT is what matters when it comes to losing belly fat.
