Here's an article about "losing that stubborn belly fat".  Interesting that it doesn't mention the fact that fueling with grain-based foods (regardless of whole grain or refined grain) is a bad choice.  Why?  The glycemic index silly!  There's better choices for your carbohydrate intake.  Vegetables.  Some fruit.  Little starch.  NO sugar.  (as said by Greg Glassman, founder of CrossFit )

Don't get me started on the gluten found in most grains.

And for gosh sakes, can we get off the "six-pack abs" BS?  Your abs are already a six pack.  If you don't see the six pack, then you need to remove the fat.  Simple.  Not easy.

Change your diet if you want to change how you look.  Change your diet if you want to change how you feel.  Change your diet if you want to change how you perform.

Quit killing yourself in workouts thinking that intense exercise is all it takes to lose the fat.

But, what do I know?  I guess we should just rely on the USDA for our "healthy" food choices.  The USDA, an organization that admittedly prioritizes the marketing of food above health concerns says we should eat a diet based on grains.  Stunning.

USDA's Strategic Plan Framework:
USDA has created a strategic plan to implement its vision.  The framework of this plan depends on these key activities:  expanding markets for agricultural products and support international economic development, further developing alternative markets for agricultural products and activities, providing financing needed to help expand job opportunities and improve housing, utilities and infrastructure in rural America, enhancing food safety by taking steps to reduce the prevalence of foodborne hazards from farm to table, improving nutrition and health by providing food assistance and nutrition education and promotion, and managing and protecting America's public and private lands working cooperatively with other levels of government and the private sector.

What a joke.
