The bastard saffron that helps reduce belly fat...

Belly fat. Oh, boy. I hate it!! It seems the more I work out, the bigger my mom stomach gets! Nothing more fun than having your sister announce she is pregnant with her third kid, and feeling like YOU are the preggo one! I think it has to do with stress, and 2009 has been the most stressful year of my life! While I've included daily meditation/visualization and the flex belt (which, by the way, definitely works! Of course, you won't see the muscles too well unless you lose the fat, but the belt definitely builds up your stomach muscles...and I'm not even an affiliate for them, I just love the belt so far! I do have to warn you though, they try to upsell (convince you to buy related products) a ton of products after you purchase the belt, which is annoying, but worth it.) but I recently stumbled across an article on safflower oil in a magazine and did some more research. I guess it helps reduce stomach fat, and build lean muscle. The study was for postmenopausal diabetic women, but I've seen results for men as well. I may not be postmenopausal or diabetic, but I do tend to store fat in my stomach (ok, in my booty as well, but I don't mind it there haha) and it's all natural. I guess you want CLA, or polyunsaturated, but all I can find are the monounsaturated (or oleic) or safflower oil that doesn't really say what the difference is. I guess you can tell by how you store it, even if it doesn't say on the bottle, but I don't want to take any chances. I'm just going to buy it as a supplement. I guess they don't add anything to it, it's just safflower oil in a pill and it's called Tonalin. I will report back on how it works. Oh, and safflower oil is often used as a cheaper alternative to saffron oil and has been called bastard saffron. haha
