The whole grain bread instead of refined grain bread is a good idea (# 3), but:

1) the melon recommendation isn't exactly a breakthrough: it's low in calories? Yeah, well so are most fruits. It's high in potassium? Again, so are a lot of fruits.

2) the study of women who drink one glass of wine per day having a smaller waist than heavy drinkers is purely correlational; there's no evidence given that the wine is the cause. It could just as easily be that heavy drinkers also eat more.

4) I wasn't paying attention by the time she got to grapefruit.

Well then...how does someone lose belly fat? The proverbial less calories and more exercise?? I thought there were certain foods that target getting rid of fat in the belly...as said grapefruit. Or is this false also?

I've heard that smoking and diet sodas are linked to increased belly fat - while carbonation is linked to bloating I don't quite get the smoking coorelation- maybe because smokers are more likely to be unhealthy in general? My stomach is only perfectly flat if I watch my calorie intake hardcore - nothing to do with specific foods really. Then again, I don't really have much belly fat.

Cut your meals in half. Stop snacking and eating candy. Exercise at least 40 minutes per day for 3 days per week (must break a sweat).

Force yourself to make it through the first 4 days of this, when it's the most difficult.

If your a guy, no diet is going to help you lose belly fat. Exercise.

Lots of people lose fat by following a "Candida Diet". The idea being that there is yeast in the system and like a loaf of bread the belly bloats.

Get rid of sugars, alcohol , coffee, most fruits and watch the belly bloating go away. It is a difficult diet to follow but it works.

Get to the gym or something. Yoga has worked well for me, I do a lot of work on the 'core' and I read something about it optimising your metabolism so you use food more efficiently. It works the same if you build muscle, the fat is used to rebuild what youve done at the gym etc etc.

On a related point, what the hell can I eat for breakfast that isnt coated in fat? I have tried eating fruit, I was eating 2 apples, 2 bananas and a pear before work and I was hungry again less than 3 hours later. That was my attempt at a 'diet' and it was rubbish. I realise dieting isnt gonna work for me, I just try and squeeze in as much good stuff to counter the crap as I can.

However, someone close to me recently had a heart attack and Im aware eating greasey bacon sandwiches for breakfast everyday could well send me the same way. But nothing else comes close to satisfying me and I dont have the time for cereal.

I like to throw a couple of bananas, strawberries, milk and psillium husk into the blender. Makes for a decent breakfast. I'mjust wondering what else might one add to the blender? Any cool recipes for healthy shakes / smoothies? Thank you.

oatmeal is a great breakfast food. don't need a lot to feel full and digests slowly so you get energy from it the whole morning.
