Of course you do! You're reading this after all right?
The problem for most is THIS:
On some level - either consciously or unconsciously - you don't think that it's possible for your flabby tummy to transform into a flat, sexy mid-section.
Now, I won't get too philosophical here. Let's keep it simple - you want sexy abs and you want to know how to get them fast. The new year is here after all - this is the time for CHANGE!
So let's talk about chocolate for one thing - is this delicious, irresistible treat really as bad as it is so often thought to be? I've known people who blame every health problem known to man on chocolate - from stomach pains to itchy skin! So what about stomach fat?
Q: What stops you from having the stomach you want?
A: Stomach fat.
Q: What is it that makes stomach fat appear and remain on your stomach?
A: Processed foods and lack of proper exercise.
Q: Does chocolate contribute to this?
A: It depends what type of chocolate.
In general, 80-90% of chocolate sweets sold at your regular grocery store will be full of processed "junk".
BUT, having said that - cocoa is an extremely antioxidant rich food which can actually help you boost your stomach fat loss!
That's right - chocolate can help you get sexy abs.
The trick is picking the right chocolate and formulating a strategy that works along with other fat loss methods.
The chocolate strategy:
Find a brand of chocolate that you like which sells a range of different chocolates including cocoa-rich chocolates. Now most regular mainstream media will recommend at least 60% cocoa solids but I'm going to say that is NOT enough. Here's what you need to do if you're absolutely addicted to chocolate and can't cut it out.
Step 1: Start by "supplementing" your regular chocolate intake with regular dark chocolate.
Step 2: Gradually shift the amount of chocolate you buy until you buy only dark chocolate.
Step 3: Slowly move to buying more and more of the cocoa-rich dark chocolates and less of the others.
Example:
Week 1: Buy 1 block of milk chocolate and 1 block of dark chocolate.
Week 2: buy 2 blocks of dark chocolate and 1 small milk chocolate treat.
Week 3: Buy 1 block of dark chocolate and 1 block of 60% cocoa chocolate.
Week 4: Buy 1 block of 60% cocoa chocolate and 1 block of 70% cocoa chocolate.
Week 5: Buy 1 block of 70% cocoa chocolate and 1 block of 85% cocoa chocolate.
Week 6: Buy 1 block of 85% cocoa chocolate and 1 block of 90% cocoa chocolate.
Now you'll only buy 90% cocoa chocolate (or even 95% if it's available). This will also alter your taste buds and you will only ever crave the dark chocolate - making you an unstoppable fat-burning machine!
