Hello everyone, how's your day starting out? Mine is freaking cold 'cos I was drench by the rain, choi! no be small thing. But that shouldn't stop me from serving you hot sweet fitness tips this morning, should it? *smiles* of course not. Moving on, remember I have been talking about how to achieve flat tummy for past two weeks, right? see here and here if you missed them. So, today I want to share with you "5 Food You Must Avoid to Achieve Your Flat Tummy Goal." You know, if you keep working out on your tummy but do not eat right, you can never achieve your goal, therefore you have to be mindful of what goes into your mouth as this is very important.
So dearies, come along as I share this fitness tips with you. Enjoy!
What not to eat:
1. Sweets and Soda
Candy and other sweets offer nothing but calories, and plenty of them.
According to Harvard nutritionist Walter Willett, if you want to lose
belly fat, the first thing you should eliminate are high-calorie,
low-value foods. At 150 empty calories per can, soda pop is a
particularly bad form of sweet for diet purposes. For many people,
drinking soda is an automatic part of lunch or dinner. By simply
replacing this with water or iced tea, you can drop hundreds of calories
per week from your diet.
2. Fast Food
A single fast-food meal often totals more than 2,000 calories, the
recommended calorie intake for an entire day. Worse still, fast food is
high in bad fats and low in nutrition.
3. Alcohol
According to Willett, research shows that an alcoholic drink each day
can help reduce your risk of heart disease. However, alcohol presents
two problems. Like sweets, it has a high caloric content with little
nutritional benefit. Also, drinking alcohol often leads to drinking more
alcohol. A single night out drinking can mean taking in thousands of
calories you would otherwise have done without.
4. Snack
Snack foods are long on calories and low on
nutritional value. For between-meal snacks, personal trainer Bill
Phillips recommends vegetable sticks or a piece of fruit.
5. Refined Grains
Refined grains are pure carbohydrates, presenting
your body with a sugar rush just like eating sweets. The calories from
this rush are bad enough, but when the sugar high fades your body starts
to feel hungry again. Dr. Mehmet Oz, co-author of "You: The Owner's
Manual" recommends eating whole and wild grains, which release their
carbs more slowly.
It might not be so easy staying away from these food but their intake can be reduced or better avoided completely.
