Belly Fat Foods to Avoid

Paleo Lunch :

There are so many methods of eating healthy out there that it can all be so confusing. I look for ways to keep things simple so when I came across one particular method of eating, I became really interested. What I discovered was that it's not about foods that burn fat (which doesn't exist by the way) but foods that keep you fat that should be avoided.

Belly Fat Foods to Avoid

Searching for fat burning foods is pretty much a waste of time. No food can actually burn fat. However, there are foods that do cause weight gain and keep you overweight. These types of food are simple carbohydrates. You can find these types of carbs in processed foods such as:

• bread
• cereal
• cake
• cookies
• pies
• refined sugar and more

The reason why these types of carbs cause weight gain is because when they are not burned, the body stores the excess as fat. I'll be the first to admit avoiding these foods aren't easy because they are everywhere. You may be surprised at how often you eat them. How many times have you had a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast? How about a sandwich for lunch on thick slices of ciabatta bread? These types of carbs easily add up during the day. The method of eating that I mentioned earlier that makes avoiding these "bad" carbs easier is called the paleo diet (paleolithic or caveman diet.)

This way of eating revolves around food in its most natural state. People who follow this diet eat lean meat, a lot of fresh vegetables, fruit, nuts, and more. For the most part, they avoid any processed foods and grains. There is a lot of information out there about the paleo diet so be sure to do your own research. You will find plenty of bloggers who follow this diet and they usually post really good recipes as well. I have read many times that weight loss comes much easier by eating this way. However, I would suggest consulting with your doctor before jumping into any new way of eating.

Besides food that we eat, it's also important to think about what you are drinking at well. Sugar can be found in a lot of beverages particularly coffee drinks and so-called health smoothies. I would recommend cutting out soda all together and beware of fruit juice as well because it also contains sugar. Water, black coffee, and tea are good beverage options.
