On my quest to lose weight I find myself goggling phrases like " How to get rid of tummy fat?"and "What food contributes to stomach fat?". Well one of the most consistent result, aside from avoiding fast food, is to minimize the amount of
simple carbohydrates in your diet.Several years ago when my hubby and I began cohabitating I started eating only whole wheat bread at home because that was his preference. Than a few years later we decided to make the transition from white rice to brown/whole wheat rice. Well now the time has come and we have transitioned to whole wheat pasta and whole wheat flour. The grocery list has also lost weight ten pounds to be exact, we are no longer purchasing a ten pound bag of potatoes monthly.
It has only been a few weeks since we have made the complete transformation to "brown", but we haven't missed potatoes or the white counterparts of the other "browns". We have discovered that whole wheat products are just as filling if not more than simple carbohydrate and also offer a more complex flavor and texture (no pun intended). I can honestly say you will gain more health and flavor wise by switching from white to brown!!!
With these changes I not only hope to lose weight overall, but am hoping to lose weight in my midsection specifically for both aesthetics and health reasons. It is said that those who carry their weight in their midsection like myself are more likely to have diabetes, high blood pressure and a recent study shows is also more likely to have
sudden cardiac death. I am grateful that I do not have either condition and would like to decrease my odds of having them and most certainly I do not want to have my heart give out on me suddenly. So for me these change are MUST.
If you are looking to make a positive change in your diet try going brown!
