Lara Gomez, Women's Health and Fitness Experts (2013-present) Answered Nov 10 When you have made the decision to get serious and lose that belly fat once and for all there are a few specific things you can do to guarantee your success. Follow these 11 tips daily and you will soon have the body you always wanted. Be sure to check out below how to turn this list into your own powerful weight loss story. 1. Plan your meals, snacks, supplements and drinks in advance. Waiting until your blood sugar has crashed will sabotage your ability to stay on track with the program. 2. Preparation starts with having everything you need (and not tempting yourself with foods you don't need) to carry out your week. Spend some time cleaning out the cupboards of foods not on the acceptable list. Schedule your eating times the same way you schedule appointments in your day planner. 3. When shopping, choose the best organically grown fruits and vegetables from a natural foods market. Always choose produce that are a bright and vibrant color; signifying an abundance of vitamins and minerals. Buy almonds that are raw and organically grown. Roasted, salted nuts are high in sodium and hydrogenated oils from the processing. 4. Stay away from canned, processed, refined or enriched foods. These foods are loaded with sodium, preservatives, high glycemic sugars, hydrogenated oils, and many "empty" calories. These foods give the body a false sense of satisfaction without much nourishment.

2. 5. When eating out, always order beans and/or vegetables or a small potato or serving of rice. If they have pasta be sure to keep your portions small. Although most pastas are considered low glycemic, the amount of calories by weight still makes pasta a carbohydrate dense food. So limit your serving size. Turn away the bread served before the meal. Bread when eaten before meal can cause your body to go quickly into a fat storage mode. 6. Carry a water bottle with filtered water or bottled water with you during the day to assure consistent hydration at all times. Small sips of water consumed between meals keep the body running at optimal levels. Remember your goal is to consume one half your body weight in ounces of water daily. 7. Vegetables that are steamed or eaten raw contain a much higher percentage of nutrients than prepared in any other form. Raw vegetables contain many enzymes that can assist your body with digestion. Boiling vegetables causes most of the nutrients to be lost in the water. Sprouted vegetables contain the highest amounts of enzymes of any food. 8. Learn what your individual meal portions are and stay focused on not over or under eating each meal. Small balanced meal eaten every 3-4 hours will help you master this plan. 9. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and will help set your body's energy levels for the day. Choose either a shake that is in balance for what you need or design a food meal that will give your body a boost to start the day. Skipping breakfast or replacing breakfast with coffee is one of the most destructive habits to form. Make sure you eat breakfast; this will get the day off to a good start. 10. An essential oil blend can be a simple way to get your essential fatty acids on a daily basis. Most people need only one teaspoon daily to feed the cells what they need to put the body into hormonal balance. Fish oil capsules, evening primrose oil and borage oil are other essential oil supplements that can help. 11. Create a list of your 5 favorite breakfast, lunch and dinner combinations. Start by listing out the best choices of proteins and the portions you need. (Example: 3 ounce chicken breast = 20 grams of protein). Then go to carbohydrates (use the glycemic foods book) and finally list the fats you need to bring the meal into balance. This is a good exercise to see where you are with your basic nutrition knowledge. What is the date 90 days out from today? Write down the date along with the amount of
