Bottom Line: If your goal is to lose belly fat, then you have to be strict with your diet, that means absolutely no sugar, and yes that means no fruit!!! It also means no white carbs, nothing that is “simple sugars” such as wheat flour, white bread, whole-wheat bread, white pasta and even write rice. It also means no sugar, and this includes unrefined sugar (except stevia) because stevia is absolutely a safe and healthy natural sweetener alternative. This is ok during your tummy shred.

It means eating high protein, and rich in fibre content foods. So anything that is 100% whole food, high in fibre, low in sugar and high in protein is perfect to consume. Once you have succeeded in your flat stomach goal, then and only then can you include fruits back into your diet if you desire and on the rare occasion cheat foods such as sushi, pizza, pastries and donuts.
