3 VEGETABLES THAT FIGHT ABDOMINAL FAT
REPOST FROM Mike Geary Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist & Catherine Ebeling – RN, BSN
I bet you didn’t know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against abdominal fat.
Let me explain what they are and why…
Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to that have an estrogenic effect and excess exposure can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.
These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems.
So here’s where this specific class of vegetables comes in handy…
One of those cool tricks that I teach in my Fat Burning Kitchen program is that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds…
And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this can help you fight against abdominal fat!
So there you go… just another excuse to do what mom always told you and eat more broccoli!
I’ve really learned to like brussells sprouts in the last year too… Melt a little grass-fed cheese on them and some garlic and they’re great!

best eaten RAW to get maximum results!
Pass this email onto your friends… I bet you’ll shock them with this article about xenoestrogens and how broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts can help to fight the battle against abdominal fat.
Enjoy!
