It is not enough that you perform abdominal exercises to achieve your goal of losing lower belly fat and get six pack abs. A low-fat diet should be considered a part of your healthy lifestyle.

Nowadays, people are getting more health-conscious as far as products are concerned. Finally, the food industry has already taken notice of health-wise consumers. As many consumers are trying to lose belly fat by doing abs workouts, more and more supermarket goods are labeled with “less fat”, “less salt”, “sugar free”, “no pesticides”, and “organically grown.” As a matter of fact, the “Nutrition Facts” label is required for all synthetic as well as natural vegetable and fruit products.

Unfortunately, the crooks in the food manufacturing, processing, and marketing industries today are taking advantage of this opportunity by selling less-healthy foodstuffs in the market today. Worst of all, these greedy marketers who are only thinking about their profits are making outrageous claims regarding the health benefits of their products. As a result, our consumers are enticed by their ads and are getting high-calorie, sugary, salty, and artificial-ingredient diets. This is unfortunate for health-wise people like you, since these products actually do not help you lose belly fat. You will still not be able to get six pack abs even when having abs workout.

What I am going to share is going to shock you. Do you know that the grocery lanes of our supermarkets and maybe your friendly 24-hour stores are already filled with products that are claiming to be better than the original ones? You should avoid these items in order to protect your health and for you to lose stomach fat, as well as to maximize your belly fat exercises. I am enumerating below some examples of these products.

1. Peanut butter products that are claiming to be better than the originals. You may not believe me, but I have seen a product that is packaged as peanut butter with a ridiculous claim that says that it is “better than peanut butter.” I urge you not give it a second thought if you ever find one in your friendly grocery store. It might taste better than ordinary peanut butter; however, it is heavily laden with sweeteners to simulate the natural taste.

You may have enjoyed it because of its wonderful flavor and its promised health benefits. However, I am going to warn you that this product is detrimental to your health, even if you do healthy tips such as abdominal exercises. Why? This is because the natural nutrients that are found in its peanut ingredients are being removed from the product due to heavy chemical processing. To be frank, the product is actually low in fat content since they have removed much of this healthy fat and replaced it with refined starches and sugary syrup. If I were you, I would prefer the all-natural peanut butter rather than this sweet, artificially concocted product. No matter how hard you do your abs workout, it will do you no good if you buy “sweeter than the original” peanut butter.

By the way, using high-quality and “pure” peanut butter can actually help you lose stomach fat. When shopping at the grocery section, always look for the labels of those that are made from natural ingredients. As much as possible, choose the ones that have no artificial preservatives and flavoring. Don’t buy those products that have unbelievable claims. Furthermore, if you want to target in removing lower belly fat, choose whole wheat bread and “natural” peanut butter for sandwiches, and consume oatmeal as a regular part of your breakfast. You can perform belly fat exercises early in the morning or even at evening after school or work. Focus you ab workout on standing abdominal exercises and lower abdominal exercises. On the other hand, avoid corn chips and other unhealthy snack foods when having snacks. It would be better to have whole-grain bread with high-quality peanut butter, as well as fresh pineapple, grape, or any natural fruit juice during snack time. In time, you can lose belly fat and get six pack abs.

2. Questionable egg products that are claimed to be better than fresh farm eggs. It is unbelievable that even chicken eggs could be imitated by food companies. Yes, you hear me right. Shocking as it is, there are already artificial egg products that are found in the some food markets today because of modern technology. Ab workouts and other healthy regimen will do you no good if you eat unhealthy egg products.

As far as these foodstuffs are concerned, they contain only egg whites. The yolk is removed, because it is commonly believed that it contains high amounts of cholesterol. Then they add artificial chemicals such as flavorings, colorings, and even “vitamins” as egg yolk substitutes.

I will give you a tip on how to avoid buying these unhealthy products. If you want to lose stomach fat, look for organic, fresh, chicken farm eggs, as indicated in their labels. As a matter of fact, healthy products have authenticated seals from the US Department of Agriculture. This means that these items have undergone careful inspection from government as well as environmental, agricultural, and health agencies for unwanted chemicals and ensure proper sanitation of facilities. Pick eggs that are from reliable farms in the United States. Don’t buy imported chicken eggs because not only are these likely artificial, they may also spoil easily due to their long storage time during the transportation process.

All-natural egg products can help you lose stomach fat in conjunction with performing abdominal exercises such as standing abdominal exercises and lower abdominal exercises. Just buy whole chicken eggs, and you can just remove its yolk if you don’t want it. However, yolks are actually healthy for you as long as you don’t consume excessive amounts. Use olive oil when frying eggs because this type of oil has less cholesterol. The healthiest way in serving dishes is to prepare hard-boiled eggs, especially when served with carrot slices and your favorite lettuce salad. Substitute your regular mayonnaise for cholesterol-free sauces. You can also prepare egg sandwiches topped with tuna flakes as snack food. If you faithfully follow the right dieting principles and do regular ab workouts, you will eventually get six pack abs.

3. The so-called butter products that are thought to be healthier that pure butter. Don’t believe those ads that say “pure butter products are not healthy.” This is just a ploy of artificial butter manufacturers and marketers to encourage you to buy their products.

The truth is that these so-called butter products that are “healthier than butter” and low quality margarine can cause more harm than good to your body. First, these are made up of highly processed oils and concoctions of concentrated fatty acids. They increase your body’s cholesterol levels and contribute in weight gain. Instead of losing lower belly fat, these foodstuffs don’t help you get six pack abs. Second, their sources are not safe and reliable. Since butter is a product of processed milk, it is more likely that their milk suppliers don’t observe safe and environmentally-friendly procedures.

The cows where the milk comes from may have been exposed to pesticides. In addition, they may have been feed with synthetic growth stimulants. Since these chemicals are absorbed by the cow’s body into its milk, and eventually to its by-product which is butter, this is very unfortunate for people who consume these products. Most of the claims that you find in their labels are just marketing rackets to entice you in buying their products. Their exaggerated promises, such as losing lower belly fat, give you a hint of their deceptive practices.

In order to distinguish the good ones from the bad, the first thing that you should do is to look at the label. Butter products that are of reliable quality usually have indications in the label such as “from pure cow’s milk” and “done with environmentally-friendly procedures.” Be sure to find a US Department of Agriculture seal in the label to ensure that the production facilities and procedures of the manufacturer pass rigorous government standards. Another indicator is to check the label for source of the product.

Excellent butter is made from milk that usually comes from New Zealand, The Netherlands, as well as milk-producing states in the US. On the other hand, be hesitant in buying butter and other milk products from other parts of the world. Look for accreditation from government exports and health agencies. If you can’t find any, avoid buying these butter products because these not known to emanate from good producers. They are considered of inferior quality compared to those previously mentioned. These will not help you in your healthy lifestyle regimen, such as ab workout anyway.

I would like to tell you the facts about butter because there is a misconception that it may be harmful to your health. Most people believe that it does not help you lose belly fat. The truth is that high-quality butter is healthier compared to margarine because of its low polyunsaturated oil content.

High-quality butter products can help you attain good health if you implement a low-fat, low-salt diet, and daily abs workouts. I suggest that you consume whole-wheat bread rather than “white” bread. Whole wheat bread contains the right amount of carbohydrates that can help you lose belly fat. Use high-quality butter when making sandwiches and for cooking (especially sauteing) vegetables. Not all saturated fats are bad for your body. In fact, our bodies need just the right amount of saturated fat in order to help in metabolism. In addition to a healthy diet, do regular standing abdominal exercises and lower abdominal exercises to help you lose stomach fat and for you to get six pack abs.

Furthermore, I would recommend the variable training regimen to maximize your belly fat exercises and for you to be able to get six pack abs. Instead of doing the same pace of running, jogging, and swimming for the same period of time, try varying your training intensity, repetitions, and durations. This is best on standing abdominal exercises and lower abdominal exercises.
