My friend, Veronica, is a professional dancer. The girl is tiny and gorgeous, but just like the rest of us, she has body issues. Her main concern has always been belly fat - a problem that many women reveal, regardless of their profession. Our bodies are designed to retain fat in that area, and there is nothing we can do about it, or is there?

After years of various diets, crunches, and long gym workouts, Veronica finally decided to give up, and step down herself to the truth that this is what her body looked like. Until another friend of ours asked her a simple question that had never crossed her brain before. Can you keep in mind everything you ate today?

She couldn't. And none is there a chance i. Most people I actually know don't pay attention to what goes into their stomach during the day. They try to eat healthy, and as far as I are able to see, have pretty healthy diets, but when it comes to counting every caloric and remembering if you had that cookie, or maybe really craved it... well... that has time to make that a priority?

But if you are serious about the goal for your body, like losing stomach fat, apparently, you do not have other choice. And no, you don't have to bring a notebook to the dinner table with you for the rest of your life! Just make a dedication to jot down everything that you eat, and do it for a week. Carrying out so will make you much more aware of what you eat and how much. Your eating routines will come into concentrate, and you will be able to make adjustments to your diet dependent on the real information that you have in front of you, not on a guess.

In order to lose stomach fat, Veronica had to follow a specific diet that limited refined carbs and sugars. After all, your stomach any of the trickiest regions of your body to work with. Yet if your goal is simply to lose weight, gain weight, raise your energy levels, and so out, keeping an ingredient diary is also very useful. An individual will be surprised how writing things down places everything in a completely new perspective! You may well not realize, for example , how much sugar you are consuming in the mornings to keep your energy upwards, and then wonder experience always so tired!

Try out the food diary for a week, and see if you get anything out there of it - I most certainly did.
