Power Foods That Burn Belly Fat Fast!

By Dr. Brian Jefferson

Diabetes, heart disease, cancer and strokes can all be traced to excess belly fat. People all agreed that alarge belly was the least attractive part of their bodies. Men, particularly are prone to develop beer bellies.

It seems that Americans are busier than ever, surviving on little sleep and bad fast-food diets that seem to get oversized too frequently. Coffee, often purchased at a drive through on the way to work gives temporary relief but there never seems to be enough time to work-out.

There are three common solutions to relieving accumilated stomach fat.

1. Eat the right foods; foods that actually burn fat 2. Get more sleep 3.Manage your stress, with exercise and relaxation

Until recently, BMI or body mass index (a measurement of weight in relation to height), was used as a key factor in determining the likelihood of developing heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancers. Now, researchers around the world are discovering that BMI is the wrong number to rely on and dangerously misleading.

Problem areas for extra fat continue to be the stomach, hips, and thighs. Exercise can help but eacting the right foods can speed the weight loss process.

Dr. Tobias Pischon, lead author of a recent study that focused on the correlation between abdominal fat and colon cancer, stated in a Reuters Health report that this type of fat is more alarming. Belly fat is "metabolically active" and could possibly increase colon cancer risk by raising levels of certain hormones that affect cell growth, including the growth of cancer cells.

The higher your waiste-to-hip ratio, the higher the risk of disease.

Fast, safe weight loss is possible if you simply change the foods you eat. The Low Glycemic Index Diet actually lists 25 ultra power foods that burn fat, so you can eat the foods you love and loose weight. It has been scientifically proven to be one of the fastest and easiest ways to loose dangerous belly fat fast.
