Reducing Belly Fat

The Quick Answer: QSS

1. Quit sodas and sweets. Drink water/eat fruit                                            
2. Switch to real brown, ditch the white rice, bread and pasta
3. Sweat—- walk, bike, run, jump rope, move

Q

Quit

  Quit all sodas and processed sweets because they all are toxic to the body. Drink water, tea, flavored water for drinks. Eat fruit as a snack. Honey is a non processed sweetener that can be added to anything. 

What are sodas and sweets?

Any processed beverage or snack that has sugar or zero calorie sweeteners in them. 

Soda: Toxic to the gut and liver = belly fat

Diet soda: weight gain, strokes = belly fat

Juices: same as sodas  - damaged fiber so acts like a soda = belly fat

Smoothies: same as juices  - damaged fiber so acts like a soda = belly fat

Cakes: insulin spike = belly fat

Pies: insulin spike = belly fat

Health bars: loaded with sugar therefore insulin spike =  belly fat

Candy bars: insulin spike = belly fat

Candy: insulin spike = belly fat

Cookies: insulin spike = belly fat

Read the list of ingredients on the label and if it contains sugar, high fructose corn syrup, brown sugar, agave nectar, syrup, molasses, stevia, saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, or neotame then avoid. 

Two 16 ounce sodas a day can lead to fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol) in 6 months.  

S

Switch to Brown from White

Brown rice - white rice causes insulin spike therefore increases belly fat

Brown pasta - white pasta causes small insulin spike therefore increases belly fat

Brown bread- white bread causes a big insulin spike therefore increases belly fat

Brown bread is a big big challenge because it is extremely rare to find brown bread without added sugar being in the ingredients. Many of them contain whole grains mixed with refined grains plus sugar so they have more sugar than a cookie and are called whole wheat. 12/11

Sweat daily. The belly fat goes away first. Sweat from a wheelchair, bed, walking or any activity that builds your heart rate. It is better at removing Belly Fat than weight lifting or balance exercises. Aerobic is best. Remember a little is better than none. 

So remember to QSS: Quit, Switch and Sweat and watch the belly fat go away….
