My biggest belly busting secret.. (losing belly fat isn't so hard!)

So everyone these days is very busy, and it can seem like it's hard to make time for all the things that the fitness gurus tell you to do. (Do I look like I have time to go to the gym 5 days a week!?) I always try to do things quickly and effectively, and my weight loss was no different.. I lost more than 60lbs over several months - and literally turned my life around.

What was the first thing I changed?

I stopped drinking soda!!!!

Soda is RAMMED full of sugar, calories and all sorts of other bad stuff... It's literally the enemy of weightloss, lol!

Just check out these stats for a regular sized 20 fl oz serving of coke:

  1. Calories 240
% Daily Value*
  1. Total Fat 0g0%
  2. Sodium 75mg3%
  3. Total Carbohydrate 65g22%
  4. Sugars 65g

That's 22% of the carbohydrate you're meant to consume in an entire day.... from one 20 fl oz serving!! Just imagine what a large coke in Mc Donalds or Wendys sets you back! Lol.

I used to get through loads of coke in the week, I'd drink on average 2-3 bottles a day... that's almost 750 calories! Before I'd even eaten a bit of food!

So pay attention to what you're drinking :).. Just cutting out coke from my diet was responsible for about 10lbs of the weight I lost!!
