PREFACE Six months ago I looked at my ever expanding belly in the mirror (something I try to avoid doing) and decided that I would tackle it once and for all. I had done some abdominal exercises and tried to cut back on the 'junk' food but nothing seemed to work long term. The belly fat refused to shift and stayed stubbornly embedded around the mid section. We seem to be constantly bombarded with reports about fat loss and what works and what doesn't. The danges of this food or that. It seems as if different and conflicting advice is given on an almost daily basis claiming you don't need to exercise but eat less or that you should go on a starvation diet to lose weight. Rather than blindly following this fad diet or that, each professing it would lose so many pounds in so many days I decided that I would do as much research as I could on the subject of fat by reading the latest medical research on the topic. I wanted to know exactly what goes on inside us when different types of foods enter the digestive system. I also wanted to know why I would always still feel hungry not long after having a meal, have sudden dips in energy and feelings of tiredness even though I had plenty of sleep and why no matter how many sit ups and core muscle exercises I did my belly never got flatter! In this book I want to share with you in layman's terms how I managed to get rid of my belly fat with very little pain in a matter of weeks based on making some simple changes to my lifestyle. If you adopt these into your daily life then I can guarantee that you will start seeing the pounds rolling off. Your body will be given an opportunity to heal itself, you will feel more energized, look more vibrant and the toned body that you had forgotten you once had will become reality again.
