Quad belly or Quad gut has hardly anything
to do with diet. It is the result of nonactive stomach muscles not able to
hold firmly your stomach, intestines, and other inner organs. Your stomach
becomes very pronounced when sitting in the chair because the weight of your
upper torso pushing down on your muscle less stomach causing your midsection to
expand.

You may benefit from Dr. Pericone's book, The
Pericone Weight Loss Diet. The book treats nutrition at the cellular
level and offers convincing evidence and strategies that developing health at
the cellular level will provide a healthy platform for overall health.

I have completely changed what I thought WAS a healthy diet
and added all the recommended supplements to my diet. With moderate
exercise including free weights and using a hand cycle to crank my heart and
cardio rate up (this is the best device to substitute for using our big
leg muscles to get cardio rate up!!!!!!!!!)

You
have to really eat light. I eat 2% cheese and open face sandwiches
with lettuce and tomatoes. I drink Slim fast twice a day and just eat a
regular meal in the evening. I don't really eat very much beef, only
occasionally. I mostly eat turkey, chicken, fish, and I like lean
cuisine dinners occasionally. They have a great macaroni and cheese
lasagna in dark turkey with green beans. When I wear it really feel
like I want some comfort food, I eat the cream beef with the gravy like
mixture over light whole-wheat bread. I don't eat a lot of bread or
potatoes, but a lot of fruits and vegetables and a lot of salads with
light dressing which helped to fill you up . I do eat sweet potatoes with
just promise, but I just found another, that was a little more healthy (I
will have to look at that for you) . I just started eating Activia
yogurt, which is really good and taking acidophilus everyday . I I
was being bloated, but that has has taken most of it away. I thought
I had gained a lot of weight, but it makes my makes me fairly flat,
although I have gained some weight I am sure. Another thing that
helps with bloating is gas x or one of the many similar products. I
take there a lot of vitamins. I usually buy things that are reduced
fat. I do eat chips, trail mix , Kentucky fried chicken and other
things that are not low in fat, but I eat in moderation, which is the key
. When I go out to eat, I usually eat seafood, turkey or chicken,
although I sometimes feel like a backyard burger or veggie pizza with thin
crust. I really love the lower calorie popcorn, although I also buy the
kettle corn in individual bags, which is not low calorie. I don't get to
the hospital that has a scale very often that you roll onto, but you must
keep track of the weight of your chair. I had gained 5 pounds last
year. It's always much easier to try to lose in the summer, as I
don't get as hungry. I also get those weight watcher cheesecake , South
Beach peanut butter cookies, snacks to eat if I'm hungry. I also
like light cream cheese and light and peanut butter spread very thinly
over fat-free saltine crackers. I also love ice cream and a light just
doesn't taste as good. Ha ha Baskin-Robbins does not come in light
unfortunately, so I have to splurge a few times a year
.
I look forward to getting ideas from other
quadlist persons that battle the quad gut.
the never ending battle that
we must face, because we don't have stomach muscles.
It would
be so fun to just eat anything you wanted all the time, wouldn't
it?
