I tend to people watch when I'm walking around and have a good look at what foods other shoppers put in their trolleys.
I’d say that at least 65% of the people in the store were clearly over weight carrying lots of stomach fat.
Considering the products in some of their trolleys I was sadly not surprised!
Most of their trolleys were filled up with the foods that helped them get to the unhealthy size they are. They had stuff like cakes, white breads and ready meals.
Each trolley I walked past, the list of un nutritional foods just went on and on…
It made me so sad and I had the urge to stop people and say WHY ARE YOU EATING THAT CRAP, DON’T YOU REALISE WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO YOUR BODY?! But I am pretty sure they wouldn’t have thanked me for that!!
If you're like me, then you want to educate yourself so that you can make positive choices and embrace lasting change.
It’s come to light over the past 10 years both in the media and working with so many women that the stomach is a huge problem area. Gone are the days when we think it’s just men that have the ‘beer belly’, alarmingly we are seeing more and more women with this stomach fat problem.
Gaining fat around your tummy is not only disheartening but it’s also extremely unhealthy, more so than any other area of your body. Excess 'belly fat' increases your chances of cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer and diabetes.
The good news is that with just a few lifestyle changes you can make your belly fat a thing of the past...
Unfortunately too many women think that the belly fat is limited to the amount of fat you can grab with your hand but it’s the fat that you can’t see that is a major issue.
There are two types of fat that I’m talking about and the first one is Visceral fat.
Visceral fat lies deep in your abdomen which surrounds the internal organs. When you gain this type of fat, the problems may start.
This type of stomach fat brings with it so many health problems, which is something you can and should avoid at all costs!
The second type of fat is located between the skin and the abdominal wall and that’s the subcutaneous fat. This is a lot more visible and can be measured with callipers to give you an indication of how much body fat you are carrying. It certainly doesn’t cause problems like Visceral fat does but having too much of it definitely wont give you a lean tight stomach.
You can do something about this and eliminate or avoid gaining ANY type of fat!
Changing your diet, cutting out all processed foods and replacing them with natural, nutritious foods is your first major step.
Burn Stomach Fat by Eating Healthy Fats
The next step is to get your body moving on a daily basis. Circuit training and resistance training should be done at least 3 x each week.

Once you start to make these small changes you will start to have far more energy, your skin will glow and you will generally start to 'feel' healthy. Being ready for anything life has to throw at you.
You can be certain of a sexy flat stomach in no time, get motivated and make the lasting changes your body and soul deserve!
