Losing Belly Fat is a Simple Process of Eating and Moving.

Losing Belly Fat is a Simple Process of Eating and Moving.: "Let’s start with eating.

Pay attention to what’s in your food! A great many foods are so over processed with hydrogenated oils, additives, preservatives and artificial flavors, in the final analysis they only barely resemble the foods they are supposed to taste like. Those chemicals are created simply to make it easier to make foods freezable, cheaper and taste like something once they have been factory- cooked to within an inch of existence.
Some examples of over processing problems:

  • Many of the chemicals added to foods to preserve and make them taste better also remove enzymes from the foods. The major functions and organs in your body depend on enzymes to do their work. The heart, kidneys, liver and trillions of cells depend on enzymes to function. Overprocessed foods don’t provide enough of those enzymes.
  • Moisture is drawn out of foods in the additive process so that bacteria won’t grow in the food. That process also sucks out valuable nutrients.
  • Factory cooking processes also cook out and freeze out most of the original nutrients you think you’re getting. Any food cooked above 112 degrees Farenheit will begin losing enzymes and nutrients."

Lose Belly Fat: The Shocking Truth About Love Handles and Fat

Lose Belly Fat: The Shocking Truth About Love Handles and Fat: "Guess what? Contrary to popular belief, belly fat isn‘t the result of eating fat.

Bely fat is caused by your body‘s response to the types of foods you're eating (not what's on the nutrition label).

The good news is you don’t have to eat like a bunny rabbit or a Tibetan monk to enjoy food and get rid of love handles fast. You simply have to better understand what you give your body and how to balance it.
So what’s up with fat? It’s in all the tastiest foods, it occurs naturally in our bodies, but all we hear is about how bad it is. In most of those foods, the fat is not necessarily the bad guy -- it’s other substances in those foods that cause dangerous toxins and harmful acids in your body.

Here’s the truth -- belly fat is not necessarily 'bad' but rather an indication of a host of problems. What people don’t realize is that love handles are not simply because you eat fatty foods - belly fat is the body's defense mechanism.

To protect your body from the harmful effects of the those potentially life threatening toxins and acids - your body packs on the fat to act as a buffer between your tissues/ organs and the toxins."

Losing Love Handles - Cardio is More Than Burning Unused Calories


Losing Love Handles - Cardio is More Than Burning Unused Calories: "You’ve probably heard enough about getting off your butt to lose belly fat. Fair enough. What you didn’t know is that getting your body moving is more than just the traditional view of “burning fat” and making love handles go away.

Most people don’t understand that one of the greatest values of keeping your body moving to keep blood flowing.

Everybody learns in third grade that blood carries nutrients to the cells of the body. But what we all fail to fully understand is that blood also carries the weight of functions and systems that keep the body clean and efficient.

Besides delivering the white blood cells that fight infection and germ invasion, the cardiovascular system also runs the lymphatic system, which cleans out toxins.

Your body, believe it or not, creates fat to protect itself from toxins and acidity in your system. So your love handles aren’t just the result of eating fatty, sugary foods. They’re actually working to save your life!

That’s right -- excess body fat is a symptom of a bigger problem."
