I love everybody's posts here. You are all so awesome. I agree, even with certain things (teas, herbs, foods) that can do something like speed up your metabolism or burn fat more efficiently the only way they can help is if you are already doing the work (diet & exercise). I like to compare it with using a good pair of athletic shoes instead of flip flops for your morning run. Yes, switching over to the athletic shoes will certainly "help" but you STILL have to go run!

Hospitals are terrific for traumatic care; for acute care. They do a really, really good job in saving lives when it’s a sudden bleeding emergency. But in terms of chronic care, they’re terrible; in terms of the illnesses that most people have, endure, that cost the most money, that last the longest and ultimately die from. -Dr. Andrew Saul

And that Flat Belly Diet turned me off when I read I had to eat chocolate. That sets off all kinds of bells and whistles in my psyche that alerts me that I will crash and burn if I even put a taste of chocolate in my mouth. I had to leave that diet alone altogether.

There is no foods that make you go slim. Too much of ANY food will make you fat. That and not enough exercise. SPARKEYES is absolutely right. Eat CLEAN and exercise. Nothing MAGICAL!
I couldn't find Peanut M&M's on the list...Augh!!!! I guess the big secret is just to eat healthy foods.

The Flat Belly Diet does a fairly good job with this. There is a team here on Spark for that, by that name, too.
Compassion and humanity are the heart of all that is good and right.
Beccie, I WISH there was an easy way to burn belly fat but the sad truth lies in the very last comment made in the article;
Note that in order to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume. This can be done by eating fat fighting foods and doing some physical activity. This will help your body burning up the excessive stored fat.
I wish I could high light "to loose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume and doing some physical activity".

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
