So, you're training hard, you're lifting weights, you're
interval training, you're cutting out all the cr** and
you've lost a fair few pounds. Congratulations!
But why the sad face? Oh....you can't seem to shift that
last few pounds that you REALLY want to unveil your sexy
tummy?
What's next then? Surely you don't give up now? You've done
so well to get as far as you have.
You have a few options actually, which are pretty obvious,
even to the untrained eye, here are just a few of them:
1. Train Harder 2. Train Longer 3. Do more workouts 4. Cut
back on calories 5. Give up your social life
Now, you could do all or any of these, but will it really
be worth it? Do you really have time? If so, then great,
crack on but I wouldn't fancy being tied to a treadmill and
moving my mattress into the gym. I'm also assuming you
don't want to spend the very little time you'll have away
from the gym sitting at home on your own,without the
opportunity to eat out or have friends over for a few
glasses of red wine (for the anti-oxidants of course)?
So how about I give you some options and tips that'll make
shifting that stubborn belly fat a hell of a lot easier but
I must warn you- They're SLY and they're SNEAKY, not only
that but they're downright SIMPLE TO DO!
A few of these bad boys may come as a shock to you but
believe me, as simple as they are, they really do work as
you'll find out later.
So without further ado here they are:
1: Get to bed before 10:30pm- this is number one for a
reason IT WORKS! Poor quality sleep and lack of sleep can
be one of the main contributers to fat storage. When you go
to bed too late (after 10:30pm) your hormones don't react
in a positive manner.You can become insulin resistance and
your body will really struggle to shrug off that excess fat
So get to bed by 10:30 (at the latest) to make sure you get
the biggest 'hit' of the hormones that'll help you get rid
of bodyfat. I was recently at a seminar in Dublin and the
worlds highest paid fitness trainer (since 1994 may I add)
told us sleep was the NUMBER 1 factor in any fat loss
program even ahead of diet and exercise.
2. Start each day with a handful of nuts
Nuts are not only a great source of protein and good fats-
they help to balance out blood sugar early in the morning,
meaning you're more likely to use fat as energy and can
help curb cortisol, the hormone that eats into your fat
burning musle tissue!
3. Have an eggscellent breakfast
It's a study done by Dr. David Ludwig at Harvard
University; he studied groups of overweight individuals.
The study found that the group who ate a veggie omelette
for breakfast ate 81% less the rest of the day than a group
who ate porridge for breakfast.
4. Take more fish oil
Fish oil has many, many benefits to fat loss and overall
health but its ability to switch on the fat burning genes
and switch off the fat storing genes is second to none.
Fish oil is also great for balancing blood sugar levels and
reducing carbohydrate cravings.
5.Use milled flax seeds
Flax seed is a very good source of omega-3 fatty acids. You
may have already tried the oil (yuck) but try and get your
hands on the milled seeds.These are great sprinkled on
salads and thrown into a good protein shake. Flax seed can
help lower the amount of estrogen-16 in women's bodies.
Estrogen-16 causes fat storage in the hips and thighs among
other things. Green tea is also awesome for reducing
Estrogen-16 levels.
6. Find a better multivitamin
A good multivitamin to help boost the immune sytem is vital
in losing bodyfat. The stronger the immune system- the
quicker you burn fat.A good multivitamin will also help
meet nutritional deficiencies. In order to find a good
multi look at the kind of magnesium in the vitamin. If it
is magnesium oxide the vitamin is worthless. Also, the
manganese content should be as low as possible, with less
than 5-7 grams per day. A good multivitamin to help boost
the immune sytem is vital in losing bodyfat. The stronger
the immune system- the quicker you burn fat.
7. Fire up your Butt Cheeks
90% of clients that visit me looking to look better naked
have ‘dysfunctional' glutes. Meaning their buttocks
don't work properly. This can cause all sorts of problems
including: low back pain, knee pain, lack of pelvic control
and this condition can actually make your stomach look
bigger by causing the pelvis to ‘tip' forwards, hence
making your tummy stick out! Try this: clench your butt
cheeks together in a standing position for 10 seconds,
repeat 5 times- do this before your workout and as many
times as possible during the workout.
8.... Oh I know I told you 7 BUT I thought I'd give you a
‘bonus'
Add salt to your water
Drinking more water to aid fat loss is obvious right? fat
loss releases toxins that are stored in your fat, so, the
more water you drink, the qukcer the body can dump these
toxins! Why the salt? Notice you pee quite a lot when you
up your water intake? Well adding a good quality SEA SALT
can actually help your body ‘hold on' and use more of
the water than you drink. Meaning, faster fat loss
So there you have it, the 7 most SLY, SNEAKY and SIMPLE
tips that you probably didn't know about!
Implement these into your current fat loss program and I
guarantee they'll make a big difference to your physical
appearance and body composition.
Don't believe me? Give them a whirl!
I implemented JUST the sleep to one of my client's
schedules and her fat loss sped so much that last weekend
she was cursing me as she bought a pair of jeans a size
smaller!! 14 days after making just that ONE change!
What are you waiting for go get sneaky!!
