Most of the food in fast food restaurants is high in fat, sugar and calories and low in fiber and nutrients. While some fast food restaurants have begun to offer healthier choices, you need to be careful about how often you eat at a fast food restaurant and the choices you make. Without careful consideration, a single meal from a fast food restaurant could easily contain more calories than the average person should consume in an entire day.

Most women know about stubborn belly fat. It’s that little bit (or a lot of) flab surrounding your stomach that never seems to go away. You’ve followed the latest fad diet to a T but still have that seemingly permanent spare tire around your middle. Take heart. Stomach fat–although stubborn–can be reduced by following some common sense guidelines. Some women have more stomach fat than others because of genetic predisposition. If you’re one of these people, you may never completely rid yourself of your belly, but you can certainly reduce it. The first step is to eat right. Don’t go on a diet, though. Develop healthy eating habits you can sustain for life. If you want to burn more fat, you’ll have to add in some exercise routines. A healthy diet plus regular exercise is a sure way to see a reduction in flab.

One recent diet trend is the raw food diet, often adopted for long-term dietary change rather than as a quick weight loss measure. The central regimen in a raw food diet is similar to that of a vegan diet, except you can only consume unprocessed and uncooked plant-based foods. The logic behind this diet is that raw and living foods are excellent sources of enzymes. These enzymes are destroyed when food is heated over 116 degrees. The enzymes present in raw food aid in digestion and give people energy.
