With summer just around the corner, we are all gearing up for bikini season, exposed abs, and shiny new belly rings. While some may fear this season, you will soon discover that there really is no reason to regard the long hot days of summer as anything less than a season of fun. The good news is that to get your tummy in shape to wear the latest and greatest navel rings, you only need a few weeks, minimal sit-ups, and the right types of foods.
A healthy and successful weight strategy is 80% based on the foods you choose to eat. Knowing this simple little fact makes tackling the summer season and your tummy a lot less scary. And let me emphasize that you Will be able to eat great tasting food. Starving yourself to get perfect abs is not a good strategy! No one will enjoy your belly rings if you end up sick and have to stay home.
Here are several diet suggestions for getting a flat tummy and showing off belly rings:
* Choose foods rich in nutrients. This means that you should stay away from processed white carbohydrates, such as processed grains, potatoes, rice, bread, and pasta.
* Learn to love vegetables and protein. Grill some summer squash and a chicken breast and you’ll find that you don’t even miss cornbread or mashed potatoes. Try a chicken burger with tomato, lettuce, avocado and a fine whole grain bun. Or skip the bread and toss it all into a salad.
* Experiment with MUFA. These are your monounsaturated fatty acids, the good fats. Included in this category are natural peanut butter, avocados, walnuts, almonds, olive oil, and sunflower seeds, just to name a few. This type of fat actually helps you burn belly fat to prepare you to show off your belly rings.
This is just the tip of the iceberg to get a flat tummy that’s sexy and fit for belly rings, bikinis, and better overall health. Soak up that salad and then get ready to dive into the fun of summer.
