Many people eat what they think are “health foods” in the hope that they will lose weight. Most hope for flatter, sexier bellies with defined abs and think of health foods in combination with extensive exercise as the only means to accomplish these goals. In the book “The Truth About Abs” by Mike Geary, a secret has been exposed that will burst the health food bubble for many of these devoted followers. The secret is that many foods marketed as health foods are actually junk food in disguise. Additives such as preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and fillers can affect the dieter’s body in a very not expected. These foods can actually increase cravings and cause weight gain, particularly in the belly area. Companies, though, continue to prey on dieters and rake in the profits by pushing their products on those attempting to be “health conscious.” This book, recently released in the German form Die Wahrheit über Bauchmuskeln, teaches dieters how to recognize and avoid these foods and replace them with actual health foods that will support their weight loss and abs-defining efforts.
