If you’re bothered by your bulging belly and want to do something about it,
try the hot breakfast staple Americans have been eating for decades,
what is it?

Oatmeal!

But wait, many of us have been eating oatmeal for years and still have
a belly. What gives?

You may be eating it wrong.
Eating it wrong, please explain.

Yes. according to anti-aging expert Nicholas Perricone M.D. you may have to pair
that bowl of oatmeal with some other ingredients to trigger weight loss.

Other ingredients?
Like flaxseed, blueberries,almonds and oil, safflower oil.

Why these ingredients?
* Safflower oil-amps up metabolism by 200% for six hours after we eat it.
* Blueberries- contain potent antioxidants that suppress appetite, block fat
absorption, improve blood sugar and speed up metabolism.
* Flaxseeds- Are a great source of ALA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid that
seems to zap fat-storage hormones and boost weight loss by 200%.
* Almonds- Stimulate 60% more weight loss.
* Oats- contain beta-glucan, a special type of fiber that creates a sticky barrier
inside us, trapping nutrients for up to 10 hours and releasing them very slowly
and from deep in the digestive tract.
Plus, it (oatmeal) shrinks appetites so we eat 400 fewer calories and shift our
hormones, the hormones which burn belly fat quickly.

So, are you ready to give up your smoothies or pop-tarts, or bacon and eggs
to give oatmeal a try?
Well, try it for a week or two and see what type of results you get, and
after that- cut back and eat it 2 to 3 times per week.

Your recipe for a bowl of belly-flattening goodness…
Make a bowl of oatmeal and top it with 1/4 cup of blueberries, (fresh or frozen)
a Tbs. of safflower oil, a tsp. of flaxseed and 3 to 4 almonds.

And for those who really enjoy the taste of oatmeal and would also
like to eat it as dessert, here’s a recipe for “Belly-Flattening No-Bake
Oatmeal Cookies!”
To make:
Heat up a 1/2 cup of safflower oil. 1/2 cup of nut butter and 1/2 cup
of coconut sugar (or stevia to taste) in a small saucepan until smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat; stir in 1/4 cup of coconut or almond
milk, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of unsweetened
shredded coconut, (if you prefer, buy toasted or toast it yourself) 2 1/2
cups of rolled oats and a pinch of salt. Roll into a big ball and roll out 24
spoonfuls onto a lined baking sheet, (with parchment paper) and refrigerate until
hardened. Eat 2 or 3 and store the rest in a container and refrigerate.

And lastly, oatmeal also works wonders for those who wake up 1, 2 or even 3
times a night. If this describes you, have your morning bowl of oatmeal and
1 or 2 cookies at night. Think of it (oatmeal) as a safer and less expensive form
of Ambien.

Good Luck!
