Junk Food=Belly Fat
In the quest to lose belly fat sacrifices must be made. A thing that might be considered a sacrifice for some people is throwing away the junk food. Remember that old saying “You are what you eat” well it really is true and if you are putting junk in as fuel for your body then you are going to get buildups such as fat especially around the belly.
Junk food is so bad because it is typical empty calories. It is high in sugar, fat, and refined carbohydrates and low in protein. The body’s blood sugar typically quickly rises when these types of foods are eaten which causes insulin to be produced and leads to increased appetite due to the increased insulin – the beginning of a vicious cycle where more food is consumed leading to another rise in blood sugar which triggers increased insulin production leading to increased appetite and eating more food…. This cycle also will in many cases lead to fatigue or that “sugar coma” type feeling. Also this leads to a reduction in the body’s ability to burn fat
Junk food for many people is also the foods that they turn to for late night snacking. By combining late night snacking with the food being consumed being junk food is a double whammy. Late night snacking is bad mainly because it is during the part of the day when there is little to no activity or even just prior to going to bed. When one eats then goes to bed shortly after most of the sugar in the blood stream is turned immediately to fat.
Junk Food = Belly Fat!!
Instead of consuming junk food look for healthier snacking options such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. High fiber is always a good option. As is combining protein with carbohydrates.
