You Can Lose that Belly Fat!

You can lose that belly!!

First you need to know what causes belly fat. How you eat is just as important as where you eat when it comes to weight gain. Larry Scherwitz and Deborah Kesten have identified seven specific eating patterns that make us overeat and that are linked to being overweight. This was reported from ABC'S “Good Morning America.” At Thin and Healthy Utah, we subscribe to these 7 steps for loosing that unwanted belly fat also.

The message is simple: Look at what your eating, and look at your relationship with food. Here are 7 examples to help you out. Each of these seven patterns of eating will negatively affect your relationship with food. Do you see yourself in any of these 7 categories?

1: Fresh Food, Fast Food – If you find yourself eating at McDonald's for lunch and then heating up packaged frozen foods at night, you're eating too much processed, high-calorie food. Where's the fresh food?

2: Food Fretting – Are you so concerned about what you eat that you experience negative and guilty feelings when you think about food?

3: Task Snacking – You're too busy to sit down and eat right. So you grab things to eat at your desk or in the car. If you're distracted when you eat and you're dining at the dashboard, chances are you'll eat more and gain weight.

4: Eating Atmosphere – Where you eat is as important as what you eat. When you dine in a calm setting, you're less likely to struggle with how much you eat.

5: Social Fare – People who eat alone tend to overeat. When we enjoy meals with others, we're far more likely to slow down and eat less.

6: Emotional Eating – Are you using food to manage your feelings?

7: Sensory/Spiritual Nourishment – People who eat this way are infusing their food with special meaning.

The study findings were published in Explore, a journal of science and healing.
