13 Sep Tip 15- Having Trouble Dropping Your Spare Tire?

Research suggests that belly fat produces an appetite stimulant, making you feel hungry more often. This sets up a vicious cycle of “old” belly fat leading to “new” belly fat.

Here are some tips to help deflate your spare tire:

1. Eat whole grains. People who eat whole grains lose more belly fat than those who stick with white bread/rice.
2. Eat low fat dairy products. Studies show that the more calcium in your fat cells, the more fat your burn.
3. Eat lean protein. Lean meat, beans and eggs help to increase your energy, helping you burn more belly fat.

Today’s tip: Hard-boil some eggs and use them next week as a high energy afternoon snack.
