Kick Your Junk Food Habit to the Curb

As the saying goes, "abs are made in the kitchen." Those pesky love handles that popped up are most likely a result of poor diet and not enough exercise. If you want to slim down, take a closer look at your eating habits. Are you hitting the drive-thru several times a week? Is your pantry stocked with chips and candy? It goes without saying that high-fat foods containing tons of sugar or fried and processed food products are the first things you should banish from your diet. They provide little to no nutritional value and get quickly stored as abdominal fat. To avoid unwanted weight gain without feeling totally deprived, you should limit your favorite junk food indulgences to once or twice a week max.
