Yes, I reckon it's a good idea to keep to eating the foods you mentioned, the healthier option, that fuels the body, and provides, minerals, vitamins, and keeps nasty diseases away..whilst having the so called yummy stuff as a treat once in a while..! or much less often.
Good advice...thank you!0 -
Great googly-moogly.
So the idea of spot reducing (or spot increasing) is real, huh? :huh:

Just because someone puts trainer in their screen name doesn't mean you should listen to them. Pretty much everything he wrote has been discredited by science.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 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.

With all due respect, I feel embarrassed reading your posts, because they are really full of information that is several decades out-of-date. As a healthcare & fitness provider you really need to read and do some research. Some of the stuff was the latest news when I got my MA in Nutritional Science ( and that was in the late 60's ) and over the last 50 plus years has been proven wrong by very serious science.
I make it a point to stay well informed, which takes some time, but is otherwise not a big deal.
Please take some time and get yourself up-to-date......your clients will thank you for it.0 -

"Gluttony might be innocuous were it not for the fact that gluttons tend to disregard whether their self-serving behaviors harm anyone else. We don't need to look far and wide to find examples of gluttonous behavior, as they are numerous throughout the history of capitalism." Simon Mainwaring
"Our fear of hypocrisy is forcing us to live in a world where gluttons are fine, so long as they champion gluttony." Jonah Goldberg
Let me have men about me that are fat; sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights; yonder Cassius has a lean and hungry look; he thinks too much; such men are dangerous. (Quote by - William Shakespear)
Gluttony is the source of all our infirmities, and the fountain of all our diseases. As a lamp is choked by a superabundance of oil, a fire extinguished by excess of fuel, so is the natural health of the body destroyed by intemperate diet. (Quote by - Robert Burton)0 -

Do you not want your daughter to be successful in her chosen profession or something? It seems odd that a parent would want to supply information to their child that would completely destroy her credibility.
ETA: Nevermind, checked out her page. Carry on. She can post it next to the one about foods that make your hair stop growing.0 -
Who is this guy? The bad info fairy?
