There's a reason why there's a lot of distrust from the public on personal trainers. This **** is one of the reason's why. You aren't a researching PT, you're a parrot for the fitness/diet industry who is just a sheep following misinformation that's been passed down for a couple of decades now.

Yes, just because someone on the internet said so :laugh:0 -
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 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).

And here I thought someone was finally going to tell me what happens when you click on that ad for the "5 foods to never eat again" with the banana and the lady with the shrinking stomach :sad: .
I'm no physical specimen or fitness/nutrition expert, but even I know enough to know that this is, at best, misleading. I would wager that some people who don't have even the basic knowledge of nutrition that can be gleaned from these boards might find it easier to eat at a deficit (if they even realize that's what they're doing) if they limit these foods in their diets. But to propagate the "reasonings" for this that you did is, plainly, irresponsible.0 -
Your profile states"Lowered my body fat percentage from 13.8% to 5.4%!! "0

I love this gem.Those calories cannot be processed easily by the body, and thus they are turned to fat the minute you consume them.0

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.0 -

Thank you for this...
I have been wondering where I went wrong all this time and now I know.:drinker: :drinker:0 -
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 body0
-
<~~~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.0

I am so totally having a KFC double down after my workout, in honor of this thread. Thanks for the inspiration!0

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:0

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.0
