Another tip on reducing belly fat!

Is your midsection expanding and the latest trendy diet isn’t quite do’n it for ya? Here’s a handy tip that will help you get you thru these tough and confusing times: build up your potassium reserves by eating green food!

Potassium reserves throw you off and sound complicated? Well, it’s not.
Below are a few beginning baby steps to help you start winning the battle against the bulge:

1) Do a liver detox. I recommend Dr. Eric Berg’s Liver Enhancement Program -- organic, of course. You may visit: http://www.drberg.com/index.cfm/8811 for more information on this and to purchase his book (The 7 Principles of Fat Burning). If you would like to have a copy of just the detox, I would be happy to download it and email it to you – just let me know! OR, I've also found an organic, herbal detox that can be purchased online or at your local health food store. It's called "Perfect Cleanse 3 in 1 Herbal Detox" by Garden of Life. (For more details, see: http://www.gardenoflifeusa.com/detail_perfect_cleanse.shtmlhttp://.)

2) Stop eating potassium-depleting foods – that is, refined foods (like cereal, breads, and sugar, a/k/a CARBS) and eat more food WITH potassium! No, not bananas, I am referring to leafy greens [organic (non-toxic) if at all possible] and then sing the ditty that Audrey Hepburn sang in her classic film Sabrina -- I have no bananas today lalala!) Most veggies in general are low in sodium (except beats and celery), but still it is better to consume even these when given a choice.

3) No more restaurant food – sound crazy?! Not if you do some research and learn what is in this food (e.g., TONS of sodium, low in potassium – this will be another post, so stay-tuned)!

WHY? Potassium is needed in order to store sugar. Without potassium the body will instead store FAT! I know. Bummer. However, the good news is, there’s a way out. See, the biggest reason people become depleted is simply because they eat potassium-depleting foods (mentioned above). They literally suck the potassium right out of your cells!! Then guess what? You get trapped in fat-storing mode :(

WHEN WILL YOU SEE RESULTS? Though everybody’s body varies, you should see your body change right after (and even during) the liver detox, because your cells will re-hydrate and the excess water will drip (drain or poor) right off -- depending on your weight. Know what else is great about this tip? Once potassium deficiency is lessened, high blood pressure, high pulse rate, insomnia, leg cramps, and excessive irritability are all reduced significantly as well – YAY!

I hope you enjoyed this tip! Check back in and see what else I’ve learned!
