Top 55 Flat-Belly, Healthy Foods

Okay, so you downloaded my free weight loss ebook How To Lose 20 Pounds In 1 Month and figured out how to restrict your sugar consumption (as low as 15 grams per day).

Inevitably, one day you'll be looking for something to eat (probably because you forgot breakfast or skimped on lunch). Now you're checking out the vending machine or finding junk food in the fridge or cabinet

You might think about planning ahead, and stocking your cabinets and fridge with food that will help you stay on target. 

These are 2 good examples of “flat-belly” foods you should stock up on:


Nut butters - Plain old peanut butter is boring. Instead, mix together almond butter with pecan butter, or even cashew butter with macadamia butter . . . delicious and unbeatable nutrition!  Using a variety of nut butters gives you a broader range of vitamins and minerals and other micronutrients, and gives you variety instead of boring old peanut butter all the time.



Dark chocolate (as dark as possible - ideally more than 70-75% cocoa content) – Not only does this satisfy your sweet tooth, it provides loads of antioxidants at the same time. It's still calorie dense, so keep it to just 1-2 small squares after a meal... but that’s enough to do the trick.

But that’s only a few healthy foods you should have available to help you avoid temptation and prevent the junk food grazing that most likely contributed to your weight gain.

For your well-being and convenience - you can find the rest of the top 55 flat-belly foods by clicking HERE.

Here’s to eating healthy foods!

Even So-Called "Healthy" Foods Are Full of Sugar

A few days ago, The World Health Organization (WHO) dropped its sugar intake recommendation from 10 percent of daily calorie intake to 5 percent. Finally, the WHO has recognized sugar's major contribution to diabetes, obesity, kidney, and heart disease.
The new WHO sugar recommendation translates to about 6 teaspoons or 25 grams of sugar per day for an adult.
Unfortunately, most people don't know that processed foods usually contain a lot of sugar. You can drink 37 grams of sugar in one can of coke. 

A perfect example of a sugar-laden "healthy food"



Chobani yogurt claims to be a "healthy" protein food, yet the black cherry version has 24 grams of sugar. Even the light version, only 100 calories, contains 7 grams. 

What do you do if you're trying to reduce the sugar in your diet but love yogurt? In the above example, the fruit contributes the greatest amount of sugar.  Here's what you do - buy the plain version of Chobani (3 sugar grams) and add a few slices of strawberries or some lemon or lime juice. Now you have your yogurt with 5 grams of sugar, about 20% of the daily recommendation.

Losing weight is much easier when you control the amount of sugar you eat. The eating plan described below restricts sugar and carbs, encouraging the consumption of "good carbs."
