I have written before about books that give advice on decreasing belly fat, including “French Wine for Flat Belly.” A new book and some other protocols suggest that the 1977 recommendation for low fat diet intake is incorrect because it off the fat-burning key in the body.
In fact, it is a high-fat diet that starts a process called ketogenesis, which turns on the fat-burning switch —making belly fat burn away.
You can go to the Keto Burn Protocol website or BuyGoods.com and look up information on different fat-burning protocols.
Since the recommendation of a low-fat diet, there has actually been an increase in obesity in the U.S. population, as well as a significant increase in prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes, to the point that almost 50 percent of the population now fits into one of those categories.
Again, a pattern is being shown that recommendations in medicine are continually changing. The fact that we suggested staying away from high-fat foods been rejected. Today, the recommended foods to help burn belly fact are avocados, eggs, and coconut oil — all of which are high in fat.
