It can be pretty frustrating to be feeling like you are doing everything to lose weight, but it just doesn’t seem to want to go. Constantly researching to find the foods to eat to lose belly fat, and yet that goal weight still seems to be only a dream.

You know what I am talking about right?

Let’s face it; most people really are tying to do the right thing. They drop the sugars and fried junk food from their diet, and generally work hard at increasing daily exercise. Is this where you are at right now in your weight loss efforts?

What a lot of people don’t realize is that the foods they are eating, thinking them healthy, may actually be preventing them losing weight.

Perhaps you have given up white bread for example and switched to whole wheat or brown bread, thinking they are a healthier choice?

I can understand why you would think that. Everyone is talking about good and bad carbohydrates. What most people don’t understand, and this may be the key that you need to help your own efforts, is that wheat has the same effect on your body that eating that ice cream would have done had you eaten it.

It’s a scary thought isn’t it? Many so called “healthy diet” foods have this same affect on our attempts to lose fat and drop weight, but once we understand this, we can choose the right foods to help lose that belly fat for good.

So what foods will work with us and not against us in meeting our weight loss goals? Try this approach and see what results you get in a very short period of time. I’m pretty sure you will be excited and it will rejuvenate your goals and intentions to look and feel great.

Let’s look at some examples of the best carbohydrates, proteins and fats to choose to help you lose those unwanted pounds.

Firstly protein (which the body needs to repair itself) is best found in foods like chicken breasts, lean red meat and nuts and lentils.

Best carbohydrate sources are found in foods like raw oats, brown rice, lentils and yams.

Fats are often the neglected part of a good diet because we are all so scared of them, but you need them in your diet. They help you burn fat, so choose healthy sources of fats like fish, nuts, avocadoes and even olive oil and natural cheese.

The great news is that all these foods will fill you up fast and keep you feeling that way for a long time. Without the constant spikes and drops in blood sugar levels, we don’t feel the cravings for that late night snack that we just can’t seem to shrug off, despite out best intentions.

Simple changes to the food you eat to lose belly fat will definitely give you the kick start you are looking for.  Good luck…
