SHOPPING DAY!!!




I've had enough of looking in the cupboard and seeing JUNK!!

I'm going to do a massive shop but..... what do I get???

I want to know... what foods do I NEED to have to burn fat???? (specifically stomach fat ((I'm aware you can't target burn))

Even just small foods that you put on your cereal or on your sandwich :)

What would YOU buy????

Thanks MFP !!!

    Lately my fat burners of choice have been IHOP, Pizza Hut, and Burger King.

    But really, foods don't burn calories - bodies burn calories by being active. I've found that biking to work gets me the most calories burned with least impact to my time budget while still being realistic for my current fitness level, but different activities might work better for you.

    Buy whatever you want and eat at a calorie deficit.

    A calorie deficit is what causes weight loss, protein helps you maintain muscle during the burning process. You cannot target specific areas building muscle in that specific are will help tone up but will not cause you to loose the fat any faster again a calorie deficit is what causes weight loss not excercise and not grapefruit. But myself I find that Ice cream helps me loose fat oh yea and my daily routine of physical activity which assists in creating a calorie deficit.

    I hope that I am not breaking the rules, I wanted information on this same topic. I did 2 things. I checked out the website for the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015 - www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015.asp‎. Lots of information here.

    I also bought the eBook by Nick Pineault. which is very specific on truths and myths and misinformation on the subject.
