You can lose that belly fat but you need to follow an Action Plan and stick with it.
1. What Foods do You Eat?
Start by looking at what you eat on a daily basis particularly carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are designed to give us energy but we consume far too many for the lifestyle we lead.
When you’re inactive you won’t need to eat lots of foods laden with carbs as you don’t need the energy. If you eat too many this will turn to fat.
Eat brown bread, rice and pasta instead of white. Cut out empty foods – biscuits, sweets, cakes, pastries.
