If you want to eat more food, and get rid of ugly belly fat without being hungry avoid these foods like the plague:

1. White rice and pasta our bodies are not really meant to consume large amounts of wheat and grains especially over processed ones devoid of any nutritional value. The effects on digestion, blood sugar and insulin levels make these flat belly busters.

2. Vegetable oil, lard these are very inflammatory on top of containing artery clogging, fat storing saturated fats

3. Processed cereals If it says “enriched” or has any word you cannot pronounce, it needs to go. Even if it says “whole grains” , “enriched” means that it’s been processed to a degree that all of the natural nutrients have been stripped and must be re added.

5. Canned soups generally contain hydrogenated oils and a lot of sodium both of which wreak havoc on your heart and fat loss levels.

6. Drinks with high fructose corn syrup or added sugar which effect hormone, blood sugar and insulin levels and tell your body to eat more sugar and store it as fat ,

7. Yogurt with artificial sweeteners and colors

8. Any thing labeled sugar free, fat free or light This generally means more preservatives, chemicals and sodium. What is the good of saving a few calories if your body won’t burn the remaining ones effectively and store them as fat?

9. Pre made salad dressings especially “non fat” or “light”

10.Frozen entrees and diet foods. They are loaded with hormone ruining fat inhibiting chemicals.

11. Most canned/bottled spaghetti sauces (which often contain added sugar in one or more forms)
