Besides just being terribly bad for us, visceral fat, or abdominal fat, in particular surrounds the organs and has been linked to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and increased blood pressure. BUT belly fat also does nothing for our confidence when bikini season rolls around (or one piece swimsuit if you prefer, of course!) Yes, we can all be healthy and a bit egotistical sometimes, right? I mean we all want to look good out there on the beach!
And how many more times are you going to dread the summer heat because you're lost in your cover up?
This is the year to counteract that "dreadful bikini horizon" and take back your swimsuit sensibility! Yes! You don't have to bounce a quarter off those abs, but you do want to get rid of that extra layer of, let's say, "winter comfort" ;) and be the best you can be! Hey we don't have to run down the beach like a Baywatch babe, but we do want to look fabulous laying there soaking in the sun with our friends, don't we? Yes!
So below is a list of Belly Fat Foods to help you in eating well and losing that unwanted "fluff" before the beaches call your name!
ALSO take a read of this quick article from one of my fav Fitness guru's, Ms. Denise Austin, 55 and FABULOUS and telling ya like it is on how to get rid of belly fat, especially in our 30's, 40's and 50's when it gets a little tougher! Seriously, look at her! 55!! :)
