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?
