Bye-Bye Belly Fat?

Hey ladies!


I figured that ya'll have been so helpful so far, I might as well continue to pick your brains!


I picked up the SBD book today and I've already started reading it.  You're all right ... it is basically common sense!  But I'm wondering ... why do you lose belly fat first? (According to the book, anyway). 


Thanks!

I believe it has to do with the types of carbs your body eats.

When we consume simple sugars & starches that have been stripped of fiber (like white bread), we digest them very rapidly.
