My Diet Secret

I don't consider myself to be a "low-carb guy" by any means, but I have come across something that looks like it works wonders for fat loss.

And it does involve cutting back on whole-grains.

More and more people who substitute more fruits and vegetables for any whole-grains (breads, rice, pasta) in their diet, have experienced higher levels of fat loss success than people stocking up on plenty of bread, pasta etc.

So if you're trying to lose fat and look better, try this approach.

Here are some easy changes to make.

a) Instead of having toast for breakfast, have an apple.

b) Usually have a portion of rice at lunch or dinner? Have 1 cup of broccoli.

c) Typically have a bowl of cereal at night? Have an orange and 1 ounce of pecans (or walnuts or almonds), instead.

Need some proof?

Check this study ...

(Amer. J. Clin. Nutr. 85: 1465-1477, 2007.)

Woman on a low-fat diet that ate more fruits and vegetables lost more fat than another group of woman on only the low-fat diet.

After 1-year, the low-fat, fruits and vegetables group (LF-FV) lost more weight than another group of woman on the low-fat (LF) diet only.

Why?

The LF-FV group reported being less hungry, thanks to being able to eat more food than the LF group.

So you'll eat fewer calories if you are filling up on fruits and vegetables, while keeping un-necessary fat out of the diet.

With watermelon, berries, apples, and cherries all in great abundance, you can satisfy your sweet tooth naturally, while burning fat with the fat loss workouts I provide you with.What are you waiting for? Fill up on those fruits and veggies and watch that weight drop off :-)
