The Five Food Groups that lead to belly fat are the following:

1. Meats with lots of fat: Red meats, Pork, Sausage, Lamb.

Reason: Red meats, pork, sausage, and lamb are hard enough to digest, and because these are not lean meats, any fat that you consume from these meats will turn into fat quickly because your body cant burn it fast enough to avoid it turning into fat.

Alternatives: Lean meats such as chicken, turkey, and fish.

2. Foods and drinks containing high amounts of sugar: Donuts, Ice Cream, Candy, Cookies, Cakes, Soda, Juices (Minute Maid, Tropicana, Kool-Aid, Any Fruit Punch), Iced Tea, Coffee or Iced Coffee, Latte, Mocha, Starbucks beverages. Any beverage from Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme.

Reason: The reason that sugar is so fatty is due to the fact that the calories in sugar are the first to be stored as fat deposits around the body when they are consumed. These substances not only cause your immune system to break down, but they will actually be the main things that will cause you to gain weight and gain belly fat.

Alternatives: Fruits, Raw Vegetables, Peanut Butter, Meal Replacement Shakes, Protein Shakes, Protein Bars, Nuts, WATER, Herbal Tea.

3. White or Processed Foods: Flour-Based Foods (Flour Tortillas, Cookie Dough, Cake Mix, White Bread, Croissants, Dinner Rolls, Cinnamon Buns, Basically anything that can be baked that contains flour), Processed Pastas (Hamburger Helper, for example), Chef Boyardee Products, Campbell's Noodle Soups (yeah that's crap, too), Instant Oatmeal, TV Dinners, Top Ramen, Cup O' Noodles, Anything you can pop in a microwave and call "dinner," Potatoes, White Rice.

Reason: Any white flour, white rice, and white foods are usually refined to make the color more attractive, but the refining process removes all of the nutrients from the foods and leaves them with little to offer your body aside from empty calories. Those calories cannot be processed easily by the body, and thus they are turned to fat the minute you consume them.

Alternatives: Whole Grain Foods, Oatmeal, Wheat or Whole Grain Pasta, Corn-Based Foods (Corn Tortillas), Homemade Soup, Sweet Potatoes, Brown Rice.

4. Alcohol: Beer, Wine, Champagne, Rum, Whiskey, Well, anything that contains alcohol.

Reason: Wine, brandy, rum, and mixed drinks all contain high amounts of sugar as well, and, as mentioned above, sugar is the first thing to be converted by the body into fat. While a glass of wine every day is good for the heath of your cardiovascular system, drinking more alcohol is actually contributing to the deterioration of your body due to the fact that the muscle tissue is broken down by alcohol. You will end up losing muscle and gaining fat from drinking alcohol, so drink as little as possible.

Alternatives: Water, Herbal Tea.

5. Fried Foods: Deep Fried Chicken, Fried Pork Chops, Fried Potatoes or French Fries, Potato Chips (possibly the worst fried food you can eat).

Reason: Potato chips are the worst of the fried foods, as they are usually deep fried and rolled in MSG and other artificial flavorings as well. This doubles the damage to your body, as the artificial substances fill your body with toxins while the oil in the potato chips add fat to your body. It is best to avoid fried foods as much as possible, as they usually contain massive amounts of calories that your body is completely unable to process. Fried foods in general will not only will add to your belly fat, but these foods will also increase your risk of heart problems by blocking your blood vessels and impeding your body’s blood flow.

Alternatives: Pita Chips and Hummus, Other Cooked Chicken (Grilled, Roasted, Baked, Steamed, Sautéed), Sweet Potatoes, Corn Tortillas (yes, it's a lot healthier than potato chips).

Positive responses, please.

Thank you for this...

I have been wondering where I went wrong all this time and now I know.:drinker: :drinker:

No_Finish_Line

i'm going to go ahead and say that your body is going to store fat where its genetically programmed to do so, and food choices have little (and probably nothing) to do with WHERE the fat goes on your body

<~~~again OP, your rules don't apply to me. I lost twenty pounds eating at a calorie deficit AND starting a daily wine drinking habit at the same time. I think I lost a least a little bit of belly fat in those twenty pounds.

I am so totally having a KFC double down after my workout, in honor of this thread. Thanks for the inspiration!

This might be the one time in my life that I'm a special snowflake...I keep losing belly fat eating all those foods! :drinker:

MissMegannLee

Then why I have still managed to lose 30lbs+ still eating those foods?
Oh right...because I weighed everything and exercised properly.
I doubt foods do that, but alright.

freemystery

You cannot have any idea of how human biology/ chemistry works, if you had even the slightest clue you'd be embarrassed to be caught out saying this stuff.

Not only does nothing you say make sense, but you actively contradict yourself with the most basic things. Sugar is fatty? Don't eat any flour based foods but then suggest pita chips? Massive amounts of calories that your body can't process... so how is that making you fat if you can't process it?

For future reference: banner ads, "some guy at my gym" and scare stories in the tabloids are not valid educational sources.

your views on food and fat storage are a little out of wack my friend

I can't figure out one reason why this makes me angry, so I'll itemize it.

1. The fact that you are blatantly spreading misinformation, and are a "trainer" and "coach" to people.
2. The fact that you are demonizing foods, and saying they're go straight to your stomach as fat. You have absolutely no research to back up these claims, and making people fear foods does not lead to healthy lifestyle changes.
3. The product plugging on your page. You aren't outright soliciting, but it's pretty close.
4. By your misinformation, people need to eat a bland diet with little variety to avoid belly fat.
5. You completely miss the most basic mark; more calories in than you are burning will lead to weight gain. A calorie is a calorie. It doesn't matter if you get it from fried chicken or a leaf of lettuce. If you take in more calories than you need, you will gain.

You aren't going to get many (if any) positive responses to this thread, and I already know this topic is going to become a mess. I'd highly suggest you contact a mod and have this thread closed.

These are exactly the reasons that I myself want to become a personal trainer. There is so much misleading information out there and so many people that believe it and thus fail and get discouraged that there is a need for real trainers and life coaches to be around. If anything, the positive you get out of this is ridiculous post is that I am now more motivated to get my certification just to go against and beat down horrible thinking like the OP has posted.

The minute you consume them.



THE MINUTE YOU CONSUME THEM.

MireyGal76

I think I may have consumed foods from each of those 5 categories... every day for the last two weeks.


Hmmm.


eta... ok, not the alcohol bit... but I did have a caesar last week

I guess that bottle of wine I drank last night made my belly fat. The scotch before the wine and the beer after probably didn't help either. But I feel great, lost another two and a half pounds and hit a new record low. I also upped my calorie intake and was under by only 14 calories. Only .8 pounds from my goal too! I do however eat good foods and avoid crap foods.

As well you should! Thanks for the idea....I think I'll join you.

I'm enjoying seeing all the women with visible abs on here saying we still eat those foods. After all, it's supposed to be harder for us to lose belly fat.

Good! We need more people like you. Any reputable trainer would be embarrassed to try and spread this information. I'll keep referring to the OP as a "trainer", since I highly doubt he is a qualified health coach and trainer outside of his membership fee to BeachBody (assuming that's where he got those titles, because I've never heard of a real trainer trying to spread this to people).

You keep at it, rock your certification, and spread some positivity to your future clients!

Yes! I get 5 out of 5.

Fact! My tummy and hips have slowly started to shrink, even with my frequent wine sipping, pizza eating, and *gasp* balanced lifestyle.

theserpah

What would you recommend for a meal replacement shake?

missiontofitness

Also, as an Irish girl, I take offense to potatoes being on your bad list.
The potato is a beautiful national treasure.

poohbah4

Nonsense!

SugaryLynx

Perhaps consuming them all at once is the antidote to belly fat?

Wetcoaster

He sells Herballife.

Nuff said.

missiontofitness

What would you recommend for a meal replacement shake?

1 cup yogurt, 1-2 bananas, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries. Or, look up green smoothies online with citrus, kale, and spinach.
I drink a yogurt-based one for breakfast every now and then. Several hundred calories and packed with good nutrients.
Don't waste your money on the products he's going to try to sell you. You can easily make your own smoothie meal for a fraction of the price of Herbalife.
