Reduce Belly fat Myths Debunked
ByTo reduce belly fat you have to figure out what is fact and what is a myth it very well could mean the difference in losing belly fat and hitting a plateau or not losing any weight at all. Here are two myths debunked for you:
Reduce belly fat myth #1 You can’t eat late at night
This is a huge myth that has always bothered me. I hear people saying they don’t eat past a certain time at night. This is destructive in your pursuit to lose weight. For example I had a client who told me she had late night meetings one day a week and she was devoted to her “diet” so she was strict with herself and missed eating dinner once a week due to her no eating past 7 rule. I quickly set her straight as this was causing her to plateau. After the next few weeks her weight loss picked up once she dropped that strict rule that she thought was going to help her lose her belly fat.
What it boils down to is it’s not WHEN you eat, it’s HOW MUCH you eat.
Reduce belly fat myth #2 You must use protein shakes if you want to lose fat/gain muscle
Again false
I get a lot of emails from people asking me what is the best after workout protein shake to drink to reduce their belly fat faster. My question to them is do you really want to drink a nasty expensive drink after a workout or do you want to eat a healthy filling high protein meal that tastes better and is less expensive.
Just check out how much protein you get from REAL food:
* One cup of any dairy product = 8-10 grams of protein
* One ounce of meat = 7-10 grams of protein
* One ounce of fish = 6 grams of protein
* One egg = 7 grams of protein
* One cup of kidney beans or black beans = 15 grams of protein
* One tbspn peanut butter = 4 grams of protein
* One slice of bread = 5 grams of protein (!)
So you see, you don’t need bad-tasting powders when you can eat real, delicious foods for all your protein needs.
Instead, keep your nutrition SIMPLE. Focus on whole, natural foods and limit high-calorie, high-sugar foods to just a couple of treats per week. I hope debunking these myths will aid you in your quest to reduce belly fat.
