Substantial Weight Loss in Days NOT Months Stubborn belly fat melts from love handles, thighs, arms and more

Cravings can be more than just a little desire for chocolate or a particular sweets and foods…

Physical cravings for sugar cravings and foods that contain lots of sugar, fat or salt can be intense and lead to binging.

What do you crave? Well, whatever you crave for makes it difficult to lose weight and have the body you want.

There are 2 reasons for this...

One is that we are hungry.

When you go a while without eating food, your body often will crave the sweetest (chocolate) or densest foods imaginable (chocolate cake).

Your body may have associated calorie dense foods with burgers or fries.

It just wants to get those calories in…don’t worry, it’s not your fault and you
are not alone.

The other reason is that we are simply addicted.

A lot of the food we put into our body has chemicals within that make it addictive.

One of these is called HCAs (Heterocyclic Amines).

Cheese contains morphine and chocolate of course has caffeine as well as sugar. They can send us into a downward spiral that is difficult to escape.

However you can get out of it quite easily by making the right changes to your lifestyle.

First of all it is really important that you start eating breakfast and start eating consistently throughout the day (at least every 2-3 hours).

You have to make eating a priority otherwise you find time and time again the evening comes around and you’ll be craving beyond belief.

You’ll end up going on a massive binge…

Of course though there are ways to calm that feeling down immediately too but the best thing to do is avoid the situation completely.

If you find yourself in an intense mess by the evening then its time to start eating fruit.

This might puzzle you and you may be thinking that fruit is the last thing you
would consider eating as it will make your cravings worse, but it won’t!

It won’t as long as you eat enough.

In tense times where I haven’t eaten all day the best step to do is to grab some fresh strawberries and simply chop a cup’s worth into bite sized pieces.

This will satisfy your hunger and stop the cravings.

Another tip is that it is always a good idea to drink water.

When we are dehydrated we can feel less hungry which can lead to under eating and binging later on.

Drinking throughout the day will help you maintain regular eating.

Aim for 4 – 8 glasses of water a day, increasing volume as the temperature rises (i,e, spring, summer) and as your level of activity increases.

You will be amazed as the cravings disappear.

Lastly have more self-awareness.

If you can be more in tune with yourself you may realize that a lot of your
eating isn’t hunger but emotional issues.

Stress and upset can make us want to grab a doughnut.

Excitement and happiness can also make us want to grab a doughnut. This is because society has placed food at the center of celebrations and upsets.

It is pretty much ingrained in all of us.

Make an effort to acknowledge it and you will have more success overcoming cravings for good.

Also, remember to check in on the new tips, techniques, systems, methods
and programs that will help you get the body you want and truly deserve.

You’re probably wondering what foods contain MUFAs and how does mufas diet really work to lose belly fat?

Simply put…

It is not yet entirely clear why monounsaturated fats (or MUFAs diet) is effective at targeting belly fat, although women do lose abdominal fat.

According to a study in the American Diabetes Association’s journal…

A diet rich in monounsaturated fats is more effective than a high carb diet for belly fat lose.

When Prevention magazine tested this they had similar results. The bottom line is 1600 calories is a reduced calorie diet for many women.

And with a diet of reduced calories, healthy fats, lean protein and vegetables, most women do lose weight.

If you’re going to diet, this is a healthy and balanced approach and at the very least you can eat more MUFAs as part of your existing diet.

You have nothing to lose… except some abdominal fat.

A MUFA is simply a clever name for monounsaturated fatty acids found in plant-derived foods.

MUFAs fall into five primary categories:

• Oils
• Nuts & seeds
• Avocadoes
• Chocolate (unrefined)
• Olives…

Examples of foods made up of these fatty acids include:

• Flax oil
• Sunflower oil
• Olive oil
• Green olives
• Almond butter
• Peanuts & peanut butter
• Avocadoes
• Seeds
• Macadamia nuts
• Dark chocolate
• Tahini (sesame seed paste)
• Pesto (basil) sauce

The good fat helps lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. In addition good fats are filling, which satisfies your hunger longer.

Assuming you’re not an emotional eater, this increased satiation encourages you to naturally eat fewer calories without feeling hungry or deprived.

Other health benefits of eating MUFAs include:

• Lower blood pressure
• Lower risk of Parkinson’s disease
• Reduction in internal inflammation

Frankly, I’m still not confident if most women agree that exercise and fitness is attributed to long term health and weight loss diet success…

Fat burning and belly fat lose is the “in thing” so there are exercises, gadgets, and gimmicks galore all promising to decrease your waist size.

Some women have tried many diets only to see little or no results. As a matter of fact, you may find yourself this year still battling belly fat?

Over the years, I’m sure many women just like me know all baout the roller coaster yo-yo diets and have been on every diet plan in existence.

Of course, some women are disillusioned with dieting altogether, deciding to eat healthy, exercise daily and stay off of the bathroom scales.

Some women are apple shaped or may be like me in the past, have a rubber tire around the middle that just feels like it will never disappear.

If so, I’d like to share with you the reasons why getting the belly fat off the right way and never having to worry about it coming back is life changing.

Have you discovered the health nutrition and health benefits of olive oil verses saturated fats?

I quickly understood by adding just a small handful of seeds and nuts to my daily nutrition as this worked to burn fat.

More importantly, immediately stopped hunger pangs and certailing my appetite in the afternoons.

Good Fats verses Bad Fats:

Monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids are all good fats (heart-healthy).

One way of knowing if any of the oils in your pantry are monounsaturated fats is if they’re liquid at room temperature and thicken when refrigerated? 

Polyunsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature and when refrigerated. 

For example: Most vegetable (safflower, corn, sunflower and soy) oils. 

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish (salmon, albacore, tuna, herring, and mackerel), walnuts and flaxseeds (flaxseed oil).

Bad fats are usually any fat that is semi-solid to solid at room temperature such as a stick of butter or the marbling in a steak. 

Saturated fats main sources are animal products, however, tropical oils (coconut, palm kernel and cocoa butter) are high in saturated fats.

Trans fat or shortening, of course is a (deadly) bad fat produced when hydrogen is added with liquid oils to make a fat solid or extended shelf life. 

Now let’s look at the power of the MUFA and why eating MUFA can definitely assist you in being successful inbelly fat lose through waistline reduction.

The original MUFA superstar was discovered via researchers investigating the benefits of Mediterranean diet which was identified as olive oil.

Just by adding 2 tablespoons of olive oil to your diet has been found to lower harmful levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.

Not only will MUFAs help you lose belly fat, monounsaturated fats have been identified through nutritional research to be linked to health benefits.

Including reducing rates of serious diseases such as:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• Chronic inflammation
• Breast cancer
• Alzheimer

Of course, if you have been diagnosed with any of these diseases and are on a restrictive diet plan check with your doctor prior to making any changes.

The MUFA list has five categories and the serving size of any of these foods at every meal is based on assisting you in your belly fat fitness regimen.

Oils – A serving equals 1 tablespoon (flaxseed oil, olive oil, peanut oil, pesto sauce, safflower oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, walnut oil).

Fitness and Lifestyle Changes

Happily doing exercise that fits you and your lifestyle is very important.

Obviously a working mom may not be able to spend hours at a gym, but you can take time out of your busy schedule to take care of yourself.

If you want to trim your waist line and lose weight here are five rules to help fight your body cravings and stay healthy as follows:

 1: Interupt your hunger – drink water and/or eating a 100-calorie snack like a hand full of nuts about a half an hour before meal time.

2: Eliminate drinking water – especially soft fizzy drinks with meals

3: Eat plenty of fiber – eat a high fiber breakfast

4: Embrace “awareness” when eating – No more eating in front of television, texting or eating on the run; take time to sit at the table and enjoy your meal.

5: Build your muscles – exercise, walk and begin an exercise regimen
