Did you know that by making 3 easy food swaps you can easily lose a few pounds, even without using any weight loss program. My 3 easy food swaps will also help you lose belly fat which is associated with increased diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk.  Many researchers believe that belly fat is also associated with cancer risk. By following my 3 easy food swaps you will have a slimmer body and you will also reduce your risks of getting diabetes type 2, heart disease and you will reduce your cancer risk.

Yesterday after finishing a long day at the office, and on the way back home I stopped at a grocery store to buy some food for dinner. While I was wandering around the shop to find some goodies, I saw something that shocked me a little bit. Some people were throwing food in their shopping carts which was not good at all for their health and they could make it 100 times better if they made some simple changes in their shopping list. These minor changes would help a lot to losing weight and belly fat.

If you fill your house with highly processed sugary food items, you are more likely to end up eating a lot of them which will increase your belly fat. I’m going to suggest you 3 simple swaps that you can make in order to lose weight fast as well as increase energy level so that you feel fresh and can perform your daily tasks better.

Swap your cola drinks for green tea to help you lose weight

People love to drink cola-drinks which contain very high amount of sugar and packs a lot of carbohydrates. I’ve already mentioned before that carbs are one of the causes for gaining weight so it’s better to avoid drinking cola. A recent study on cola-drinkers found that they tend to gain 70% more weight than people who don’t drink cola.

Drinking cola means gaining more belly fat and you won’t be able to lose weight and belly fat. Belly fat has been linked to many severe diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. High cola consumption can also cause kidney disease. Drinking more and more cola doesn’t make you any cooler or smarter, rather avoiding cola would be a smart and cool decision for your health. Instead you can drink iced green tea, which packs fairly good amount of antioxidants to boost your metabolism and kill aging free radicals. Drinking 2-3 cups of green tea will make you feel better as well as help you lose weight even without using any weight loss program.

Swap your sugary yogurt for Greek yogurt to help you lose belly fat

The next thing I suggest is to swap yogurt filled with sugary sweeteners. I know it’s often difficult to avoid your favorite food, but trust me; it’s going to be extremely beneficial for your flat belly diet. Sugar is going to make you fat and you are more likely to get diseases if you have tummy fat. Instead you can eat Greek yogurts filled with fresh blueberries.

Greek yogurt contains a good amount of protein, probiotics and less carbs and dairy than typical processed yogurt. Less carbs and dairy means less risk of getting belly fat and you would be happy to know that probiotics will improve your immune system and digestive system. You can always prepare your own yogurt at home.

All yogurts are excellent sources of calcium, potassium, protein, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12. What distinguishes Greek yogurt is its thicker, creamier texture because the liquid whey is strained out. Also, it contains probiotic cultures and is lower in lactose and has twice the protein content of regular yogurts.

Skip the extra sugar calories found in most yogurts and pump up the protein by choosing Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt contains twice as much protein, which is great for weight control because it keeps you feeling full longer.

Greek yogurt is a great source of calcium, which is key in bone and teeth health as well as heart and nerve function.

Swap your mayonnaise for Avocado to help you lose weight and belly fat

I’ve never been a big fan of mayonnaise; however it’s a regular item on the menu of many people. Mayonnaise is packed with saturated fats which are really bad for your health. In order to reduce tummy fat I suggest you to swap it with ripe avocados. Avocados contain good amount of omega-3 fatty acid which fight against belly fat. It improves your heart health and not to mention, it really tastes great!

The avocado health benefits have been found to contribute to the prevention of Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other health conditions.

These are the examples of few simple food swaps. If you are serious about losing weight and belly fat – check out this website for more healthy eating tips and advice and join my mailing list for free advice and useful articles.
