There are such things known as phytonutrients.  This is a particular class of vegetables that actually helps you fight stubborn belly fat and keep you thin!   There are also things known as xenoestrogens.  These are those chemicals that are in things such as herbicides, pesticides and other certain petrochemicals and they are produced from our air and water.  These are things that make our bodies hold onto fat, especially abdominal fat!   These can also come from cosmetics and household cleaners!

So, what does all this have to do with the truth about abs and your ability to lose weight and build abs the right way?

The xenoestrogens (bad) can cause hormone balance disruptions and can wreak havoc on your body, whether male or female.  They must be fought against and one of the best ways is to offset them with the cruciferous vegetables that contain the appropriate phytonutrients.  Veggies such as Broccoli, brussel sprouts and cabbage contain these hytonutrients that will help you fight against these estrogenic compounds.
