Any how during my reseach I saw a list of several foods that help you lose belly fat. Here is the top 5, Drum roll......(5) oils (4) nuts and seeds (3) avocado (2) olives and the #1 answer is CHOCOLATE!!!! The study found on WebMD says that "eating one serving of any of these food at every meal will help reduce your accumulation of dangerous belly fat; control your calorie intake and you'll lose inches and pounds, too--especially around your waistline."

Chocolate is the 'miracle drug' in the fight against fat...who knew? Also it does go on to say that semi-sweet chocolate or dark chocolate are the best for this. Chocoholics eat way.

Fight fat with fatty foods! Makes a lot of sense. J/K

All those things are high in calories so you can't eat much but they may take the urge to splurge away.

What type of restaurant is Amerigo's?
Also, my daughter and son-in-law really enjoyed Whitestone while they were back here. We may have to check it out.

Amerigo's is Italian and (don't pay attention to what CC1 said), all we had was wonderful!! I had canelloni filled with chicken and spinach and Eddie had chicken marsala. Mine was best, of the entrees. The bread is a doughy foccacia with a crusty cheese top that you dip in olive oil with spices.

But I'm telling you.....it's worth the trip if you just went and got the dessert, if all the Amerigo's have the same menu, which I assume they do.

Glad your kids liked Whitestone! We love it there.

I don't doubt your word but I just can't see how any dessert can be the "best" when it doesn't involved chocolate.

By the way that dessert I had at your house was one of the best I have ever eaten!

Did Eddie preach somewhere in Nashville yesterday or were you here for the NRB convention?

I agree that chocolate is the bomb, but for some reason this dessert surpassed it!!!!

We had left our car in Nashville at the airport, drove a big truck down to TX with Ashley's furniture in it, and flew back to Nashville. We went to a conference in TX while we were there, after unloading her stuff (for the zillionth time).

FYI: I had crabcakes for my meal...I didn't just go straight to dessert.

The Chop House in Murfreesboro?

That's the one. We had a nice table in front of the fireplace. Only the second time we've eaten there, and it was good.

We spotted the new Amerigo's in Knoxville next to PF Chang's. Going to go there soon. We like any place with good bread that you can dip in olive oil!
We'll make room for dessert.

I know it is counter thinking, but that came from the health people at WebMD. I think that it has to come in certain meaurments. It gives examples of what you can eat from each group. From the Chocolate one is does say Semi-Sweet and Dark chocolate, it says have them anyway you want. Maybe a top a huge gooey brownie! Maybe not.
