Your Guide to Eliminating Belly Fat

Please stay away from foods that are high in saturated fat! Saturated fats are known to raise your LDL cholesterol levels, which

are the bad kind of cholesterol for your body. Once the LDL level increases, it contributes to your arteries becoming clogged and increased the risk for heart disease or stroke. There are other studies going on now suggesting that saturated fats could be link to prostate cancer and other diseases. It’s not proven yet but I want you to really think about how these high levels of LDL are affecting our bodies.

You’re probably wondering how much saturated fat should we have daily, right? Well, according to the American Heart Association, they recommend that we should have around 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fats. To break that down further, here's an example. If your calorie diet is 2,000 calories a day, then you should consume around 100-120 calories or about 13 grams a day. I came up with that number using the formula below.

0.05 x 2,000 = 100
0.06 x 2,000 = 120

I converted 5% to decimal form by dividing it by 100 (5/100), which equals 0.05 and did the same for 6%.

Choose Oils over Butter but avoid tropical oils like coconut, palm kernels, and palm oils because they are very rich and high in saturated fat. 

Replace high fat dairy foods with Low fat dairy foods

For example, if you're cooking something that requires whole milk, use skim or almond milk

If require buttermilk, use low-fat milk

If require sour cream, use non-fat Greek yogurt

Replace High Fat Meats with Lean Protein Meats

Lean protein foods are usually very low in saturated fat 

If you eat pork bacon, try replacing it with Canadian or Turkey instead

If you consume meat, choose lean ground beef instead of regular ground beef

Choose lean cuts of red meat and take off the visible fat before cooking meat

Choose skinless poultry and seafood

If you're taking the no meat route, then egg whites are a great selection
