Belly fat is UNHEALTHY and a very good indicator of future health problems …

But as winter begins to settle in and the days become cooler, we tend to crave comfort foods. We fixate on warm, carb-loaded pastas, pastries and puddings to help keep the weather at bay. And then we wonder why our bodies aren’t beach-ready in time for summer.

Make sure that you indulge in healthy, hearty meals this winter and don’t let the weather get the better of you. Don’t allow yourself to “keep out the cold” with added belly fat – you’ll regret it next summer.

Here are some of the best and worst foods for belly fat:

We’ll start with the worst:

1.     Worst: Alcohol

Alcohol contains calories AND it's a toxin in the body.

This means that when you drink your body has to work hard to deal with the toxicity of the alcohol and the calories, putting strain on your liver. Added to this our bodies tend to store toxins in fat cells, increasing their size. Bigger fat cells equal fatter body.

Drink some warm tea rather than a glass of sherry this winter to keep the chill out.
