Diary of a flat belly

What you're putting in is as important as what you're putting out in exercise!

 I have a recipe that I follow in my diet come hell or high water. The reason why is because fiber is so very important! If you find yourself the recipient of migraines,exhaustion, or bloated belly I have a suggestion. Whatever you eat in a day,add these magical foods and you're at least giving your body a chance to wipe away any bad choices.

 One apple,a lunch box size box of raisins,(two are better than one), a salad with a raw green pepper, if you have time etc.., add as many other raw colorful veggis as you can get,and a small bowl of shredded wheat. I eat the frosted myself. This cereal had one of the highest fiber contents without some of the more irritating forms of fiber.
 
There are products out there with some crazy fiber content like Fiber One Bars. What you're trying to do is to train your body to work naturally and efficiently. That type of fiber cannot always be absorbed as well, nor can some people deal with the discomfort they are associated with. Eating real foods as often as you can is a good goal. An apple or raisins can easily be stashed in your purse for a great snack at work. Dates are another delicious treat with the desired outcome.

 While we're talking about diet,if you keep in mind that you're going to look like what you eat,it may change the days menu. I want to look lean and muscular! Things like chicken,beef,and eggs,as well as colorful veggies are a great way to fuel whatever you enjoy doing. Also,don't forget to keep a big reusable water bottle! Treat yourself to a cool one. Your body is worth it!

  1. I always keep a ton of fruit in my office: apples, bananas, oranges and grapefruit. It's so much nicer to grab something like this than it is to go the candy machine for some total garbage calories!

  2. Exactly. And the natural sugar keeps you from craving the other stuff :)
