With Christmas just behind us, and the new year approaching, I thought perhaps a few of us might be looking down at our belly’s and thinking, what have I done?  

Well, Dr Oz has the answer.  Apparently.  With 3 easy steps.  

1.  Take 125mg of Forskolin in the morning.  Forskolin is a herbal extract from Coleus forskohlii, a plant belonging to the mint family.    

According to Dr Oz, adding it to your diet is like lighting a furnace inside the fat cells, helping them burn away.  This fat torching root zeros in on fat, not muscle.    (make sure supplement label says contains at least 10% forskolin)

2.  Torch Visceral Fat with spices – Visceral fat is dangerous belly fat the is found deep below the skins surface, and often surrounds the organs.  It is biologically active, churning out hormones & inflammation that helps keep us fat and contributes to other health problems.  

What to do:  Use blood sugar-stabilising spices every meal.  Consume 1/2 teaspoon of one of these spices each meal:  cinnamon, clove, oregano, cayenne or turmeric.  

3.  Drink Green Tea Lemonade – the antioxidants in green tea could help increase metabolic rate & lean body mass.  The lemon helps your body pull out up to 6 times more antioxidants from the green tea – supercharging its belly melting power.    

Ingredients – Put a  green tea teabag into  2 cups of warm water for at least 20 minutes.  Then add 1/2 squeezed lemon.    Drink this hot or cold, everyday.  

 None of that sounds too difficult.  Obviously,  staying away from sugar,  wheat and processed foods are the best place to start.  Oh, and drink plenty of water.  Oh, and get off your bum and exercise to build up your lean muscle mass and increase your metabolism.  

I just googled Forskolin and found that Chemist Warehouse has some at a great price $14.99.  So I am off for a drive to pick some up.   Can’t hurt.  

Please, let me know if you have tried this before and had any success or failure.  

Merry Christmas, and a happy, healthy new year to you all.
