Trying to find out what the real facts are about diets, diet studies and dieting is an exercise in futility. There are literally tens of thousands of reports, studies, clinical trials and research studies done and they all have different outcomes.

So who do you trust? How do you know what information or statistics to believe when it comes to finding out the truth about your diet? Believe me when I say that it’s not that easy.

Most of the information out there about diets and the results you can expect, come from the manufacturers or providers of the diet plan or products. The information comes from studies they have funded and there’s no way to find out about studies that produced results they didn’t like or weren’t favorable to their product. Because of that, the information they provide and promote is automatically suspect because they will likely only publish information or results that favor what they are selling.

For example, a widely published study done by Weight Watchers in 2011 suggests that people going on the Weight Watchers plan will lose up to twice as much as those on regular diets. The results sound great but the study was funded by Weight Watchers and provided free diets services to those who participated. Even with the free diet services only 61% of those who started, completed the program. Will this level of success be seen with those who pay to go on the program? Who knows, but it’s not likely. Even with this free service the most weight lost by participants was about 15 pounds.

Numerous other studies have shown that diets have varying degrees of success and the level of success reported seems to be directly related to who did the study. Reports by companies promoting diet products report wildly greater results that those done by independent organizations.

A study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), about the best you can get when it comes to analyzing and reporting on studies, says that a study of four of the most popular diet programs showed only a 4.8 to 7.3 pound weight loss for participants after one year. Hardly newsworthy results for all the effort of sticking with a diet for a year and not even close to the advertised results of the companies that market the products. It should be noted that their advertised results almost always come with the disclaimer that says “results seen here are not typical.”

Is it possible to stimulate the burning of belly fat by eating vegetables? Sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, check this out below and you’ll see why it’s not as far-fetched as it first seems.

You may have not realized that there are chemicals in our foods and our environment, such as pesticides and herbicides that have an increase estrogen in our bodies. Estrogen is considered a female hormone BUT it can increase stomach fat in both men and women so that expanding waistline could be caused by the foods that you’re eating.

Exposure to xenoestrogens (a specific type of estrogen) from the chemicals in our food, water and the environment is one factor that can actually encourage your body to hold onto stomach fat. The problem is that in today’s world, even if you eat organic foods and live in a relatively low-pollution area, it is almost impossible to not get at least some degree of daily exposure to xenoestrogens. You can even find them in everyday household cleaners and cosmetics! But don’t panic, help is at hand.

So how can you fight against these unhelpful xenoestrogens so they are not encouraging your body to hold onto belly fat?

Well, that’s where these five specific types of vegetables that I’m going to tell you about can help.

There are many types of vegetables, teas and spices that have helpful compounds which can fight the effects of xenoestrogens. Simply eating these veges on a regular basis can help you lose that roll around your tummy.

One of the most powerful groups for belly fat loss is cruciferous vegetables. Five vegetables that can help you burn belly fat are:

3. kale
4. brussels sprouts
