The best way to break through this confusion

you will know for YOURSELF whether a food product can help you
lose stomach fat or not.

If you’re serious about and want to make smarter

decisions about the foods you eat, this article
reveals 5 must know tips about understanding those
confusing food labels.

But here’s one BIG THING you really need to know before

you go any further….

Everything you need to know to buy the healthiest foods

to help you get rid of stubborn belly fat can be found on
(a) the nutritional facts panel; and (b) the ingredients
listing.

So the next time you go food shopping, pay strict attention

to:

a. serving size & the number of servings;

b. calories in a serving & calories from fat;

c. total fat;

d. total carbohydrates; and

e. protein

Now here are 5 tips you really need to know about food labels

IF you ever hope to reduce stomach fat and get six pack abs:

1. Serving size & number of servings in the food package 

reveals the actual amount of nutrients you would be consuming
if you eat this food. Nutrients are always listed as per serving
so you want to be sure the serving size and the number of
servings work against you in your dieting for six pack abs
program.

2. Beware of the amount of calories & the calories from fat
per serving. Most of us don’t pay attention to the amount of
calories we consume and as a result, we take in far more than
our bodies need to stay healthy.

3.Eat ‘good’ fats in moderation, but eliminate ‘bad’ fats.
What you want to do is eat moderate amounts of unsaturated fats
while avoiding saturated fats and trans fatty acids, which can
boost your body’s cholesterol levels and clog your arteries.

4.Eliminate refined sugars & artificial sweeteners from

your diet. Did you know Americans eat about 156 lbs. of
refined sugar each year? It’s true. But don’t expect any help
from food companies. They hide sugar in ‘fat free’ or ‘low fat’ foods. And artificial sweeteners like Aspertame or
high fructose corn syrup can cause you to gain more body fat, so
you want to watch out for foods that contain them.

5. Eat good sources of protein daily with every meal.

Make sure you’re getting enough protein to help you lose belly
fat and build lean muscle. How much protein do you need?
Opinions vary, but most experts recommend 15 – 30 grams of
protein per day.
