What type of foods should one eat if they are trying to lose stomach fat?
I know that in order to lose stomach fat you must lose total body fat and in order to do so you must have a healthy diet and do cardio. I’m willing to change my diet and I know the obvious things such as not eating candy and junk food but I don’t know all the things I should be removing, limiting, or adding to my diet. Can anyone give me some food/meal options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? As well as acceptable snacks?
I read an article written by a leading cardiologist in New York and he said that in order to lose the stomach fat you must walk 24 -7 and it should be for at least an hour per day.He also said you can break it up into 30 min or 15 min each session.Jogging is hard on the joints.To effectively lose weight you should eat at least 1500 calories per day.Drink plenty of water.You should chose from fresh fruits and vegetables,whole grains and cereals,broiled or boiled chicken,turkey,fish.It is best to eat smaller meals more frequently because a large meal will make the body deliver more insulin,there by making you hungry quicker.Small regular meals keeps your blood sugar constant and also your metabolic rate which is important in burning calories.If you want to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat when you need to do isometric exercises like weight lifting.Some samples: Breakfast whole grain cereal,fruit,fruit,juice,whole grain toast,bagels with low fat cream cheese,english muffins,boiled or poached eggs or scrambled eggs in small amount of margarine.(benacol is the most heart healthy) whole wheat muffin. Lunch: chef salad with veggies,turkey,low fat dressing,tuna salad with relish,low fat mayo,egg,onion on whole wheat bread.egg salad with low fat mayo,whole wheat sandwhichs with deli turkey or ham,tomato soup Dinner: broiled chicken,baked fish, turkey breast.(season with Ms Dash,garlic powder,lemon pepper)You can fry your fish and chicken as long as you count the calories in the flour and oil,baked potato with low fat sour cream,tbsp chili beans,margarine,chives,fresh or steamed veggies,try a variety of colors with your veggies.Eat fruit for snacks,yougurt,dried fruits,low fat pudding,jello.Just count your calories.As with any diet or exercise program check with your doc first.Hope this helps you get started.P.S. if you feel weak on a particular day and are craving something horrendous then go ahead and indulge just count it into your daily caloric intake.To deny yourself will encourage diet failure and binge eating.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. loose weight) and you will have more energy. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets don’t work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples: baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads) in one and protein (examples: chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal; they don’t have none or little fat). 30min cardio exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming, running, biking, ect), Monday cardio, Tues. upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions, pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back: seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardio, thurs. lower body (legs: leg pull, leg press, squats, lounges) Fri. cardio, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising; you do this on Sunday so your body doesn’t go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stick with this you will have a great body. Also drink at least 8oz of water daily! Stay away from McDonalds, Wendy’s, ect. Because there is nothing good for you on the menu’s even the salads are bad (becon bits, cheese, dressing, ect.) Good Luck

hi – here are a few ideas for you:
breakfast: oatmeal w/ fruit on top or a whole wheat waffle w/peanut butter on top. both will help you feel full.
mid-morning snack: your choice of wheat crackers & low-fat mozzarella string cheese or a piece of fruit
lunch: turkey sandwich w/ whatever vegetables you like (lettuce, tomatoes, etc.) or a cup of vegetable soup w/ cornbread.
mid-afternoon snack: small cup of jello or baby carrots w/hummus dip (any flavor).
dinner: lots of choices here, for example a homemade pizza would be fine. use lowfat cheese and top with any & all vegetables that you like. keep away from anything fried, except as a treat once in a while. also, you are right to cut out the sugar. for drinks sparkling water & unsweetened iced tea are good choices.
more snack ideas – applesauce, fruit bars, airpopped popcorn,
flavored rice cakes, cottage cheese
also, walk whenever you can! this will help, too. good luck!
