"Belly Fat" seems to be one of the most talked about areas of the body. One thing to remember it's fat! Some of us seem to hold it more than others, but it's still fat. And to lose that fat you must think about your diet!
Again, it's about calories consumed and your energy output!! Yesterday I wrote about changing up your routine to shock your body into working harder. Below are a few diet tips for helping your body burn fat.
Sugar intake, the biggest "no, no". Please read labels! There is hidden sugar in so much of what we consume; soft drinks, flavored water, lattes, frozen drinks (both alcohol and coffee bar favorites), condensed milk and energy bars.
Add to you daily supplement regime at least 1000 mg per day of Calcium with meals, 500 - 2000 mg of Vitamin C. (These have been proven to help the body burn fat!)
Stay hydrated. Aim to consume one gallon of water per day. It speeds the metabolism, helps reduce hunger and flushes the body of toxins.
Low fat dairy products have been shown to boost fat loss. Low fat Greek Yogurt, milk and cottage cheese are excellent choices.
Olive oil, avocados, walnuts, peanut butter (without sugar and other additives) are all healthy fats and should not be avoided.
Up your protein with lean chicken, fish, especially salmon.
Fresh veggies are becoming plentiful, but stay away from the dips, butter, dressings loaded with mayonnaise, various oils and sugars.
Green tea - 4-6 cups of glasses a day. Do not add sugar or milk!!
I can't emphasize enough to read labels and be aware of what you are putting in your body!!!!
