I bet you didn't know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very unique phytonutrients that actually help to fight against stubborn belly fat.Let me explain what these unique vegetables are and why they help to burn stomach fat...
Chemicals that force your body to hold onto belly fat
Something you may have never heard about is that certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from air and water pollution, household cleaners, plastics, cosmetics, etc can react with your hormones and make your body store excess abdominal fat.
These harmful chemicals are known as xenoestrogens.
Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to (and are hard to avoid in the modern world) that have an estrogenic effect in your body. Excess exposure to these can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So if you thought this article was just for the guys, these chemicals can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.
These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems (including cancer risks in the long term).
So here's where this specific class of vegetables comes in handy...
One of those cool tricks that I teach my clients that hire me for nutritional counseling is the use of cruciferous vegetables to help fight against stomach fat.
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, bok choy, cabbage, etc. contain very specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds...
And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this is just 1 more step in helping you to win the battle against abdominal fat!
So there you go... just another excuse to do what mom always told you and eat more broccoli and cauliflower!
I've really learned to like brussells sprouts in the last year too... Melt a little grass-fed cheese on them and some garlic and they're great!

Reducing Belly Fat – You Too Can Lose the Belly Fat
Do you like what you see in the mirror? Are you concerned about your health? For many people, both are a concern. What they see when they look is belly fat hanging over their belt or their shirt stretched to its limits. No one likes to be uncomfortable in their own skin but even more important are the possible health risks associated with belly fat.
Belly fat is not only what you see, it can also be inside your body around your organs. This can lead to serious health risks such as heart disease and heart attacks. This is one of the reasons why reducing belly fat is so important.
Best Ways To Reduce Belly Fat – Make Changes In Your Diet Let’s face it. If you are overweight, you’ve got to lose the fat before you can even think about having great abs. It doesn’t matter how you work your ads if they are covered in fat. No one will ever know you have toned abs. The lower your body fat the better your ads will look even without exercise.
You don’t have to go crazy. If you simply reduce your calories by 500 per day, you will lose weight. Make sure you eat protein from lean sources such as fish and chicken. Protein helps build lean muscle tissue which is what you need to have toned abs.Be aware of junk food hiding as health food. If you take the time to read the labels of many power bars you’ll notice that they are nothing more than sugar. Stay away and focus on unprocessed foods.
Reducing Belly Fat – Exercise
Exercise doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the gym every day. Who has time for that? By simply increasing your movement you’ll be ahead of most Americans today. Aerobic exercise does help burn fat. When you pair aerobic exercise with resistance training you’ll burn even more fat.
Even though exercise is important, keep in mind that crunches, sit-ups, and ab machines are some of the least successful ways for reducing belly fat and getting great abs. In fact, if you have fat on your abs, doing crunches and sit-ups can actually make your ads look bigger by pushing the fat out from the inside out.
Ways To Reduce Belly Fat – Drink Your Water
Water is always important. Your body is made up of about 60 to 70 percent water. When you are dieting and exercising, water is even more imperative. As your body loses the fat, it releases toxins that need to be removed. Water helps with this. Drinking water is also an easy way to increase your metabolism which of course helps with weight loss.
When you set out to fight belly fat, it’s not going to happen overnight, but with a little work you will soon love what you see in the mirror. For more information check out the truth about abs.
