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!
But BEWARE...
Although this class of
vegetables may be a super-healthy choice for achieving your lean, strong,
and energetic body... I've discovered that there are at least 23 popular foods
that most people falsely think are "healthy", but theyactually HARM your metabolism and pack on
belly fat.
