How To Get a Flat Stomach - Who Said All White Foods Are Bad For You? - By: Aoife Gaffney

Have you heard the myth about white foods? If you are trying to lose weight and get a flat stomach, then avoid anything white such as refined foods, sugars, white breads and pasta. Well, that much is true but there are so many white foods that are actually good for you. In fact, not eating enough can prevent you losing weight and losing belly fat. Make food your friend not your enemy.

Too many people fail at dieting because they have this constant love hate relationship with their bodies and food. They become a slave to food and it controls them.

Eat food that you like and learn to enjoy it. White foods that you can enjoy without feeling guilty include potatoes, cauliflower, parsnips, bananas (in moderation), onions, cous cous, cabbage and grapes. Even eggs white are fine.

I spent many years battling weight loss and trying to get a flat stomach. I finally enlisted the help of a personal trainer who showed me some simple exercises and techniques to help me lose weight without dieting. She said that once I got it into my head that I was on a diet, I was immediately on a losing streak. Even the word "diet" strikes fear into the hearts of many. It implies one lettuce leaf, constant hunger, constant cravings and misery.

Everyone is on a diet. A diet is merely the things that you eat on a regular basis. Make those things foods items that you actually like and inspire you. Learn to cook your own food from scratch. Not only is it cheaper but it also helps you control what you eat and become more aware of what ingredients have made up the dish. You never know, you might really enjoy it.

I have tried and tested this amazing, easy recipe for soup.

Carrots x 2

Medium onion

Courgette

Vegetable stock

Tin of tomatoes

Seasoning

Dried chilli flakes (optional)

Chop the vegetables and cook them without oil for about 10 minutes with garlic and chilli flakes. Add enough vegetable stock and the tin of tomatoes to make the thickness that you want. Simmer the soup until the vegetables are soft and then blend with a hand blender.

Total time, 20 minutes. Total enjoyment time - endless! Total calories - practically zero.

Add what ever other ingredients you like to this soup, I prefer not to use any oil but a tiny spray of olive oil with the vegetables can make it a bit richer.
