The evidence is supported by tons of studies, juice is fast becoming a way of life for the health-conscious at heart. Why?

Because diets high in fruits & vegetables helps a wide range of  ailments.

Fresh-squeezed juice liquefies the vitamins, minerals and enzymes found in fruits vegetables for a quick, convenient way to keep the doctor away.

Juice (juicing) is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle.

Still not convinced?

There are many obvious reasons, and some you may never have thought of
to juice your way to better nutrition.

Get Vitamin-Specific:

Sure, you can take vitamins in pill form, you can also increase your intake
of specific vitamins and minerals in an instant with fresh juice.

Carrot juice offers beta-carotene

Blackberry juice contains potassium

Orange juice is jam-packed with vitamin C…

Improve Digestion:

Juices contain digestive enzymes that work to break down old food
debris in your digestive tract while other juice nutrients…

Regenerate the glands and organs responsible for digestion.

Juices revitalize digestive excretions, strengthen muscle action and give your body the ability to absorb nutrients more efficiently…

Improving digestion improves your overall health and gives you more energy.

Fight Deadly Diseases:

Fresh juices contain phytochemicals, substances in plants linked to good
health and prevention of certain deadly diseases.

Phytochemicals are found in fruits & vegetables…juicing is a quick way
to get a healthful dose.

Lose Weight Without Cravings:

If you’re trying to lose weight and you stay hungry all the time…

It could be because you’re lacking essential vitamins and minerals
that can be lost by cooking food.

Drinking juice replenishes those elements so you can eat less, saves
calories and lose weight.

Drinking fresh juice can also satisfy a sweet tooth, eliminate food cravings.

Rev Up Your Metabolism:

Too tired to exercise?

Get energy boost with some fresh juice, and get moving.

Increasing your activity will rev up your metabolism so you can burn more calories.

Cut the Caffeine:

Caffeine strips your body of much-needed minerals. Replace the morning cuppa with fresh juice, and get a natural eye-opener that really gets your body going.

Enjoy Healthful Sugars:

Believe it or not, there are natural healthful sugars…juices contain them.

Unlike refined sugars found in candy and desserts, these simple sugars bring energy in a nutritious way.

Proactive Protein Foods:

Who says you need fatty proteins to build muscle?

If you combine brewer’s yeast, wheat germ or whole grains with your fresh juice, you can enjoy a high-protein snack your body absorbs quickly.

What About Water?

Juicing can help you get those eight daily glasses of water that you’ve
been meaning to drink.

Fruits and vegetables contain a large percentage of water that we need to
flush out toxins and stay healthy.

Why Eat Foods That Get Rid Of Belly Fat?

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

Jody - Weight Loss Coach

Weight Loss Coach

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.

 MUFA rich Foods

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).

Nuts & Seeds – A serving equals 2 tablespoons (almonds, brazil nuts, peanuts, chunky natural peanut butter, dry-roasted cashews, dry-roasted sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, roasted pumpkin seeds, tahini (sesame seed paste) or walnuts.

Avocado – A serving equals ¼ cup

Olives – A serving equals 10 large olives or 2 tablespoons ( black olives, black olive tapenade, green olives, green olive tapenade)

Chocolate – A serving equals ¼ cup (dark or semisweet chocolate chips, shavings or chunks)

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

Now, you know and have many good reasons why eating foods that get rid of belly fat…is infact life changing for you!

If you want to successfully lose weight…

You want to happily and activitely include healthy recipes for your healthy weight loss.

That means understanding the real value of health nutrition…long term for permanent weight loss.

You need to enjoy exercise for natural weight loss.

Natural weight loss is weight loss facilitated by eating healthy and naturally, adding exercises to get the best healthy living results.

Natural weight loss includes eating healthy, healthy food and healthy diet, no chemicals, surgeries, diet drugs or unnecessary means for losing weight.

Basically, most quix fix solutions are so dramatic the results they facilitate simply do not last.

Healthy, natural weight loss means exercising to promote good health.

You want to exercise at little every day for at least 30 minutes to get the most out of a weight loss program.

Skipping exercise by filling your diet with pills, chemicals or surgery (any  unnecessary treatments) is your choice, but it never sustains good health.

Natural weight loss is healthy weight loss, focusing on eating natural food instead of packages foods that are fat and calorie laden.

Begin with this in mind: When you go shopping in the grocery store, walk the perimeter first.

The perimeter of your supermarket is where you will find:

  • Fresh bread and bakery items,
  • Deli items (freshly sliced meats, cheeses, dairy, meat, vegetables)
  • Natural, healthy foods and drinks.

The aisles on the inside of the supermarket are where you will find the majority of the pre packaged foods, which are rife with preservatives, sugars, fats, calories and other completely unnecessary additives.

So the answer to “What is natural weight loss?” is actually quite simple.

Natural weight loss is weight loss that is done the way your body will best respond.

Your body responds properly when you feed it healthy, natural foods like fruits and vegetables, breads and dairy, lean meats and proteins like nuts and legumes.

When you put healthy foods into your body and you fuel your metabolism consistently throughout the day using small, consistent portions, your body will respond by losing the appropriate amount of unnecessary weight.

When you exercise consistently, giving your body at least 30 minutes of activity per day, you will build healthy muscle and eliminate unhealthy fat.

Building muscle through healthy exercise actually facilitates even more healthy, natural weight loss because a pound of muscle burns more calories in a day than a pound of fat.

If you want to go on a diet or implement a weight loss plan that is going to allow you to lose unnecessary weight and burn unnecessary fat in favor of a leaner and healthier body…

You don’t need pills or surgery to facilitate the process.

Healthy, natural weight loss is all about feeding your body everything it needs, avoiding the overload of calories it does not need.

Want to live a healthy and natural life while keeping your body in the best possible shape?

Natural weight loss is actually simple because you get long term quality lifestyle and the most advantageous kind of weight loss.

If you are a health conscious woman, why do it any other way when you could boost your energy, extend life and vitality well past normal years?

Now you know why natural weight loss means your body is naturally reducing the effects of aging, plus improving your life for the better.
