Welcome to the GIFT guys quick and dirty tips to slim down and shape up.

My name is Ben Greenfield. I'm the GIFT guy and in today's episode, you're going to get tuned

in to the best foods that fight fat. Now, I used to be that active athlete and fitness enthusiasts you'd find

So in today's episode, I'm going to teach you how. Let's begin with three crucial food and fat loss concepts.

Crucial concept one, certain types of foods can cause inflammation. The inflammation can cause

sweeteners, toxins, and foreign objects,

before it develops a toxin overload, which sometimes menacevils itself as sickness,

sometimes as hardened artery, sometimes as cancer, and sometimes as the deposition of new

fat cells to store those toxins. So let's delve a bit deeper into these concepts and develop a practical solution to tackle
