Sorry.
I have no idea of this method of
reducing pot belly. There was no explanation how it works, no study done, no
research quoted, no reference of journal of the paper published of this method,
nothing...nothing, absolutely nothing just empty
claims. It was not even a hypothesis or a theory let
alone based on any evidence-based study. If I were to comment on something that is empty, I
would be just like an empty gong
making empty sounds as this chap.
For instance, this chap says
"colorie counting is not effective". Just ask him if he does not eat (calories) for
weeks, would he not be reduced to a skeleton? Ask him if he has ever heard of a
disease called "marasmus" or
another condition called "kwashiorkor"
especially in children or marasmic-kwashiorkor even in adults due to very severe shortage of calories, proteins or both
from malnutrition.
Of course he can see
"pot-belly" marasmus too, but this "pot-belly" is due to
water retention and oedema and not fat accumulation in the belly. Once you
provide adequate calorie and protein to a child or any sufferer of these two
nutritional diseases, within days the “potty-belly” disappears completely. Does this NUT know about this? I
doubt. He is talking the opposite.
He also said green tea helps
reduce tummy belly but he did not explain or tell how? I think he is a NUT. If
he had said green tea has a very high content of polyphenols such as flavonoids and a group of substances called “catechins”, which act as powerful
antioxidants that can quench free radicals and hence is cancer-protective, he makes some sense
in his claims, but to say that green tea reduces pot belly without considering
the amount of excessive caloric intake, I
think he is a NUT.
We get all these BOGUS nutritionists and health freaks writing all sorts of
health and medical claims in the Internet and circulating to deceive others.
Unfortunately you were one of the
victims.
