SAY NO TO TOXINS

The four main toxin that cause our body to cling to fat are caffeine,alcohol,refined sugar and processed food.
CAFFEINE;
A cup of coffee a day wont do any harm and some studied say it even helped fat burning.Green tea also contains caffeine which is an even better fat burner but don't drinking in the evening cause it can stop you from sleeping.Too much caffeine can cause stress to your body and can dump fat around your middle.
ALCOHOL;
Alcohol is full of sugar and it will make you fat in the middle.It also decreases muscle growth, leaving you podgy and out of shape.Drinking wine 3 or 4 days a week can leave you with a thick waist and a swollen tummy.It also stimulates the production of the hormone oestrogen in your bloodstream,which promotes fat storage(waist and tummy).In addiction,the liver is a fat burning organ but when it busy processing alcohol ,it stop burning fat.
REFINED SUGAR;
Sugary foods raise your insulin level which cause fat storage.For a slim person about 40 % of sugar you eat is converted straight to fat.Meanwhile if you are overweight ,up to 60% convert straight to fat and store around your stomach,waist and hip.If you eat sugar everyday ,you will find it hard to lose weight and you will never have a flat tummy.You always feel hungry because sugar leaches vitamins from your body.That's why overweight people are always hungry because they don't eat enough vitamins.Toxic foods such as sugar will never satisfy you.Too much sugar make you feel tired,weaken your immune system and lower your libido.It is found in white sugar,fruit drinks,white non-organic pasta,bread and rice.Also in alcohol,cakes,sweets,biscuits and ice cream.Food marked as low fat such as energy drinks and cereal bars.Ingredients that end in (ose) such as sucrose,glucose,maltose,lactose,dextrose and fructose.Lastly avoid food that contain artificial sweeteners such as saccharin and aspartame.
PROCESSED FOOD;
Processed foods that needs to avoid are tinned foods,chocolates,sweets,crisps,packaged cake,biscuits,muffins,dried pasta,frozen chips and wedges.Also frozen ready meal,processed meal,breakfast cereal,white bread,pasta and rice,
So if you want to eat these kind of foods just think for a while about your health ,all in your own hand.
