Dr. Stork says that belly fat is the most dangerous kind of fat because it surrounds major organs and damages their ability to function. Complications for belly fat include heart disease, cancer, stroke, arthritis, and type-2 diabetes. On the other hand, having a lean belly has been shown to have greater health benefits including better sleep, and can even make you smarter. People have a healthier heart and tend to enjoy a better sex life, as well as more money because of decreased health bills.
The Lean Belly Prescription says you don't have to give up the foods you love to drop pounds and get rid of dangerous belly fat. It's a six week plan that advises participants to make small changes that can have big effects. The book offers alternative recipes for many of everyone's favorite "guy foods" like steak and eggs, pizza, and fajitas.
