One easy nutritional swap that you can make that will make a big difference in removing “holiday belly fat”, is to look for the words high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).It increases the fat molecules called triglycerides which lead to abdominal fat.
You need to be a detective and read labels! The best choice would be to choose a clean eating diet, which moves away from processed foods, and toward eating foods closer to their origins. It can be done! Even if you feel super-short on time, every day, it can be done. It just requires a little planning. Invest an hour or so on a weekend to pre-pack healthy snacks in individual bags for your week. Try some salt-free roasted almonds or walnuts, pea pods, baby carrots, high fiber low-sugar breakfast cereal like Cracklin oat bran(eat it dry), packs of high-fiber, low sugar oatmeal packs (just add hot water in an insulated cup for an easy snack on the go), low-salt broth soups(try the organic aisle), apples, oranges, laughing cow cheese wedges and low fat whole wheat crackers, put 2 handfuls of raw popcorn in a brown paper bag, put into microwave with the top folded over twice and microwave for about 1 minute 45 seconds, or Activia (just put an ice pack in a zip lock bag or a small lunch sack.
There…now you have LOTS OF IDEAS! If you snack on these ideas rather than a Starbucks pound cake, a bagel, chips or a candy bar, you will feel more energetic, and have less belly bulge!
