" The real recipe for a lean figure: Make good food choices. Pack your diet with fiber and protein \u2014 they help decrease appetite by making you feel full longer. Replace all refined carbs (like white rice and regular pasta) with whole-grain carbs (like brown rice and whole-wheat pasta). Why? Refined carbs can overwhelm your body&amp;#039;s metabolism, causing you to store fat instead of burn it. You should also cut out trans fats completely; they may increase belly size. Here&amp;#039;s How Our Diet Works: You&amp;#039;ll eat three main meals daily, plus two snacks. Consider dessert an every-other-day treat (don&amp;#039;t worry, some of the snacks are sweet). For breakfast, lunch and snack time, we&amp;#039;ve listed three easy-to-make options. For dinner, choose from seven simple recipes (four of which you&amp;#039;ll find only on GH.com!). Keep in mind that studies show that people who eat the same foods again and again lose more weight than those who have a varied diet.
