Vegetables Fight Stomach Fat

Can vegetables help in your fight against stomach fat? Well hopefully we all know that vegetables should be a part of your fat burning diet. You do right? Ok I thought I lost you there for a minute.

So while reading Mike Geary's book, The Fat Burning Kitchen, I was reminded why my Mom always told me to eat my broccoli. I bet your Mom did too? But I bet you don't know WHY your Mom told you that?

Well broccoli is apart of a class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against stomach fat. If you already picked up Mike's book then you know about how certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can act as xenoestrogens.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to that have an estrogenic effect and excess exposure can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body whether you're a male or female.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store stomach fat, along with many other problems.

So here's where this specific class of vegetables comes in
handy...

One of those cool tricks that Mike teaches in his Fat Burning Kitchen program is that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol
(I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds...

And by fighting against these stomach fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this can help you fight against abdominal fat! (Which also helps optimizing testosterone levels for muscle gains).

I knew my Mom was smart but I never knew she was THAT smart! I wish I ate more broccoli growing up...ha

When I was visiting Mike last summer in Colorado he showed me how to enjoy brussell sprouts too... He would melt some grass-fed cheese on them and some garlic and they weren't bad!

In case you haven't picked up your copy yet, Mike gives away at least 12 other specific foods, teas, spices, etc that help to combat the xenoestrogens and can help you to burn stomach fat faster.
