Question
Below you state that you have already answered my question when indeed you didn't. I had written once before and you told me that you don't respond privately so I re sent mail saying that the question was now not private and added a nickname as you suggested. Then I got the mail stating that you had already answered this?



I have already answered this question for you once before.

Your Question was:

Hello,

I hope I am writing to the right person. :0). I have recently purchased a book
and see that to lose the fat from the appropriate areas I need to improve my
eating habits! I am not big or fat by any means but have stubborn areas such as
thighs and stomach. I am going to embark on a protein and carbs diet but was
looking for someone to give me some tips on what I should be eating. I see for
protein it seems to be chicken, turkey, fish and lean red meat? I am not keen on
red meat at the best of times but could you give me some idea of where I should
be looking to see a list of all the options of protien and carbs?
Many thanks

Hello,

Sorry for the problem but I submitted my answer in time though didn't wait for the confirmation page. I've been explained by allexperts.com's support that "Your answer isn't sent until you reach the "thank you" screen; that means if you don't get past the "preview your answer screen" and send your answer, it isn't sent!"

This being said, here's my answer.

The stomach is the only body area responsive to the "spot weight loss" dieting manipulations. However, protein intake is a tricky business here. The matter is, body fat generally (and belly fat especially) is sensitive not so much to macronutrient amounts but to their ratio "fat to (protein plus carbohydrates)" -  you can see that carbs and protein are somewhat interchangeable. This because the body is able to convert a significant part of consumed protein into carbs in the process of gluconeugenesis.

Any food is either ketogenic (anti-insulin) or glucogenic (pro-insulin) depending on its influence on the competition between glucagon and insulin. To effectively suppress insulin levels, a meal should roughly contain at least 1.5 g of fat per every 1 g of protein plus carbohydrate combined.

Belly fat is called "insulinometer" because it's very sensitive to insulin. Since some foods and meals are more insulin-provocative than others, it seems to me making sense to look at your diet from this standpoint.
