It’s That Time of Year Again! I Will Get Rid of Belly Fat for Good!
How often have we all decided that after the Holidays we would make a new year’s resolution to lose the weight for good? I can’t count how many times I have said this same thing only to say it again the next year, and the year after, and the year after…I have vowed to lose the weight so many times, I can now pinpoint the part of my body that needs to lose the most – And this year is was to rid belly fat (along with the hips thighs and butt!) but mostly my fat stomach!
I think subconsciously by putting off the “diet” until after the Holidays, we are giving ourselves permission to pig out from Thanksgiving through the New Year! Well, that’s my theory of why I do it anyway. I immediately go for the “comfort food” and sweets because that is what I crave when I am stressed out, and the Holiday’s are a good time for me to get stressed out – running here, there, and everywhere fighting crowds and picking out gifts hoping the person is going to like what I pick out. I really don’t like the Holiday’s.
Well, I’ve decided, there is never a good time to start a diet and besides that, I don’t want to “diet” anymore! After my body became a pear shape and I was unable to lose the weight, I came to the realization that I needed to make a change in my lifestyle. I have been on low carb diets which really worked well, but it was really tough to stay on them.
As a nurse, I work with diabetics all the time and I remembered how putting diabetics on a low glycemic index diet to stabilize their blood sugars also allowed them to lose weight without even trying. I decided to give this a try because I was exhibiting all of the signs for insulin resistance and was afraid I would be diagnosed with diabetes in the next year if I didn’t do something, so why not this?
Once I researched the low glycemic foods, I was amazed at the foods I could eat – even fat – and not become hungry. Your body needs fat to get rid of fat. With the decrease in the high glycemic foods I was eating, my body couldn’t store the excess sugar into fat for later use, it was utilizing everything I was eating for energy and started to use my fat stores for more energy once the sugar wasn’t floating around in my body anymore.
In less than two weeks my joint pain had significantly decreased and I actually felt like I had more energy and was in a better mood. As a nurse and a person with first hand experience, I truly recommend the low glycemic diet for anyone. You eat real foods and avoid the chemicals that are being put into our foods, what could be better?
