New healthy body goals for 2022?  Try avoiding these happy and comforting belly bloaters as often as you can.

PROCESSED MEATS
Cold cuts and, hot dogs,  are processed meats that contain numerous chemicals and preservatives, including nitrates.   Loaded with sodium, they  can inflate your belly!!!

PIZZA
Pizza is loaded with fat and  packed with tons of salt... and  causes belly bloat.  one slice of commerical pizza has 12-17 grams of fat and nearly 800 milligrams of sodium—which is a third of a day's recommended intake!  Make sure you have plenty of water, you are going to need it

CANNED SOUP

It's cold out side.  You see the tasty images on the can. Looks comforting.  Well apparently, It's not good for the soul... because it's bad for the stomach. So much sodium in soup leads to water retention and weight gain.  

BOOZE

You knew this was coming.  Alcohol  causes your body to retain water; but  is a diuretic as well, which causes you to pee more. Being dehydrated will make you feel even more bloated....like a big belly bloater.  

FRENCH FRIES

Hot, Tasty, yet Loaded with sodium, which will help make you feel bloated.  Scientists say that fries are near the top among foods, that are most likely to turn into belly fat.  

For the new year, try cutting back on Beers, wings, pizza, hotdogs, french fries, cold cuts....and also, delicious tortillas and white bread - which aren't too good for the belly as well. 

Get lean and mean!  You can do it!

I know there's been a lot of fear-mongering over sodium and fat, but both are essential for sustained energy and hormone production. In addition, studies are now showing that higher cholesterol levels are associated with longer life expectancy. The association between saturated fat, cholesterol, and heart disease has been largely debunked. 

People would be better off avoiding sugar, bread, cereals, refined carbs, grains (including whole grain foods), most legumes, and oils such as canola, soybean, & vegetable oils. Those are the "foods" that cause the myriad of metabolic diseases that people suffer from on western diets. 

Disclaimer: I'm referring to overall health, not necessarily weight loss. Although, you will find it much easier to eat in a caloric deficit if you eat highly satiating, whole foods, mainly consisting of animal proteins.

Sidenote: If you get drunk, you can ingest a good amount of salt (1-2000mg) water before you go to sleep to help mitigate some or most of the hangover

 
Perhaps the question is a bit of an over-simplification but the answer, for the vast majority of people, is “True.”

I think it’s pretty abhorrent that portions of the health industry are directly/indirectly convincing too many people that it’s “not their fault” for being obese.

For 99.9% of the population it is simply they consume more calories than they burn. Even with a “slow” metabolism like 50% of people claim. They just have no idea how inactive they are and how many calories they eat. Too many people claim a slow metabolism and or hormonal issues when even if you can have both of these you can still lose weight for the gain of health & longevity.
