The battle of the belly bulge is on, and everyone is determined to win. Diet foods and diet sodas are some of the weapons in the arsenal for battle. The battlefield is that large section found just below the breast line and just above the belt line. The battle of belly bulge is on and people gather their diet snacks, sodas, sit down, and pick up the remote to start. Unfortunately, some foods bought still have culprits called calories hidden within their contents. These calories become belly’s enemy in the battle.

Many foods claim to be “diet foods” or “low fat foods”, and a look at the package reveals the fat content listed is zero. This should be the perfect diet food to win the battle. Unfortunately, you have failed to look at the calories on the package. While the diet aspect appeals to you, you failed to see that there are over one hundred and fifty calories per serving. A serving is seven to ten of the items. You haven’t even gotten through five minutes of your favorite television show before you’ve eaten seven to ten. Now there is fifty-five minutes of programming left with nothing to eat. In the end, you put one thousand or more calories into your body and your exercise to burn those calories has been raising the remote control to adjust the volume on your show. One thousand in and you’ve burned three with your exercise. The battle is not going well for you.

No amount of diet food is going to help unless you eat in moderation, but several foods can help reduce belly fat even if you don’t have traditional exercise. The first thing to look for is low calorie foods for a good quantity size. For example, an apple with the skin generally has fifty-five calories, carrots have one calorie per one strip, and two slices of a skinless chicken breast has about thirty-three calories. Search the Internet and you will find several sites that promote calorie counters. Type in the food you have a question about and the calorie counter will give you an estimated count per serving. Add up the calories of the food that you eat and determine if you will burn those calories. The Internet also offers sites that can estimate how much activity is needed to burn calories. You might be surprised to find such activities as standing up, typing, mowing the lawn, shopping, cleaning the house, and even kissing has a calorie burn count estimated. Combine low calorie foods such as apples, nuts, and skinless chicken breast and you will be on your way to winning the battle of the belly bulge.
