Fat-A Tip To Trim The Middle

By Bryon Zirker

Here is a tidbit of advice for trimming your middle, do not let it get away!

New studies came up with the fact that adding almonds to your meal plan may not only aid your Fat loss efforts, it also reduces your body fat and significantly decreases your midsection.

This study that took 24 weeks, end up published in the International Journal of Obesity (Fat) and Related Metabolic Disorders, included 65 adult subjects who were either over fat or super fat. Half of the group of subjects consumed a low-calorie meal plan plus 84 grams (three ounces) each day of almonds. The other half of the group of subjects consumed a low-calorie meal plan along with their choice of complex carbohydrates. Both groups consumed the same amount of calories and protein.

when the study concluded, the happy almond-eaters enjoyed a 62 percent greater
reduction in actual body weight, a 50 percent greater reduction in waist measurement, and a 56 percent greater reduction in body fat mass as compared with the other group.

So give it a try and target your middle and give a boost to your weight-loss efforts, throw out that high sugar "energy" bar for a perfectly portable, nutrient-dense, raw, organic food, organic almonds. You will find that a one-ounce serving is approximately a third of a cup or a small handful.
