Belly Fat!

We spoke about it before but it needs to be mentioned again as we head into these winter months........visceral fat! What is it? The fat that likes to hang around your tummy area. And during the winter, it's not only easy to gain more of it with all that Holiday cheer and revelry, but it's easy to forget about it, as it hides in your winter sweater. How do you get rid of it? Your eating habits! Yes exercise helps to strengthen your core, BUT until you change your diet, the results of all those situps you've been doing, won't be seen. So you must change those eating habits, that is, less fat and less sugar. You don't have to cut out carbs, or certain food groups, but mindfully eating through the winter and always, will help reduce that belly fat!

Don't overwhelm yourself by too much change, but make small changes overtime. Perhaps eggwhites for breakfast on whole wheat toast with a lean turkey bacon, or opt for the soup and salad for lunch today, instead of that monster sandwich loaded with mayonnaise and enough cheese to feed a small family of mice. And when dinner rolls around, fill your plate first with fruits and veggies, and then the rest of your plate with lean meats and your starch. Small changes over time, BIG RESULTS!

'Cause let's face it, the only person that looks good when their belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly is SANTA ;)
