Ditch the Belly Fat and Bloat

What separates those who last from those who burn out?

The answer is focus on sustainable not chasing every new diet.

This message isn’t for who’ve mastered belly fat vs bloating…​

6 minute weight loss

Finally! I Melted Belly Fat, Took Back My Confidence and Became Me Again.

No matter your experience, even if you know nothing about this…

After all the hype and disappointment with other dieting programs.

Skeptical? Good, I’d be worried if you weren’t…

There are reasons, fear of failure, criticism or unknown…

Do not worry about what the critics say and their arguments.

Make it your joy to wow them and be creative in the use of this.

Here’s why melting belly fat matters more than you might think…

Remember the feeling of dread you get every time you need to diet?

The pit in your stomach, you know you shouldn’t worry, but you can’t.

Listen, the biggest problem is often the lack of action.

Let’s do some prep work before going into full explanation…

Because when I talk about belly fat, bloat and weight loss.

I don’t want to overwhelm or fill your head with thoughts and ideas.

And point to other people’s stories or even what I did personally.

Really, that means the focus and message is of no use to you…

You see, in order to truly make this message and solution useful.

What I have to do is explain the shift enough to help you connect.

So you can interact with your own resource, does that make sense?

This isn’t any good to you if you’re not involved in it…

And for this reason alone.

If you’re not engaged, you end up with little more than data.

Data about other people’s stories and experiences.

I want you to be fully present, engaged and equipped.

It Started with a Mirror

A bloat and tight waistband.

The quick glance that turned into a long, painful stare.

Why I didn’t recognize her?

The uneven skin texture and look of fatigue in her eyes…

The way she pulled her sweater tighter to hide her stomach.

And the way she avoided her husband’s gaze.

Anxious and afraid of what he wasn’t saying.

People may think it, but I know I’m not lazy…

And I’m not weak…

Maybe I just feel… lost.

Who I am right now isn’t good enough.

I feel invisible, embarrassed like I’m being left behind.

Diets…Workouts…Supplements…I had tried them all...

Why didn’t anything work?

Because I’d started to believe this was how it would be.

The Woman in the Mirror

Which approach is right?

How to feel like a new you.

Have you ever felt like or said…

I’m tired and over this?

Waking up tired, stressing about stubborn belly fat…

Felt like I’ll never get back to the me I used to love.

Maybe it’s the chaos of today, kids, work, trying to keep up.

Everything is pushing me to grab a donut or skip moving my body.

Maybe I’ve tried every diet out there…

Logically I don’t have to feel bad about myself.

I try to remind myself even if the scale doesn’t budge.

Daily it sounds familiar.

That nagging worry about my health.

Looking in the mirror, “Ugh, not again,” keeps me up at night.

Should I do the steps, I don’t have to stay stuck.

I know I can melt this belly fat…

Step into a version of myself that feels good again.

I can break the fat loss cycle, I know I can do it…

Here is my 9 real, doable steps that’ll help me to believe in myself.

And I’m a confident, vibrant woman I know I can be.

The Struggle That’s Got Me Down

6 minute weight loss

Let’s be real, belly fat isn’t just annoying; it’s dragging me down.

I catch myself thinking, “Why can’t I shake this?”

After a stressful day of cooking, sitting at a desk…

Feeling like my body’s slowing down.

I’ve messed up with calorie counting that left me hungry and grumpy.

And now I’m done with that…

The stress, the shame of not fitting into my favorite jeans.

And the fear I’ll never feel energetic again.

It’s all weighing on me…

I’m figuring out what’s been holding me back.

This is my first win.

And it’s where this journey starts.

Seeing Myself as That New Me

Picture this: I’m standing tall, my belly’s flatter, and I’ve got energy to spare.

I’m choose to munch on berries.

So really I’d choose this instead of that donut.

I’m taking a quick walk after dinner, and feeling a calm I haven’t felt in ages.

My family’s cheering me on, my coworkers are noticing.

I’m strutting with a spring in my step.

And whatever my day looks like, I’m proud of who I see.

This isn’t a dream…

It’s me stepping into my new self.

Here are 9 steps how you’re getting there…

You’re ditching the old mistakes and owning this change.

9-Step Plan to Melt Belly Fat

Step 1: Load Up on Fiber

I feel lighter and feel amazing…

Swap fries or cookies for carrots, berries, or lentils.

Fiber keeps my blood sugar from spiking.

This stops that fat-storing insulin from kicking in.

Every bite makes me feel lighter.

After all that I’m really getting health and wellness.

Step 2: Ditch Nasty Fats for the Good Stuff

I’m done with canola or soybean oil hiding in my snacks.

Those junky fats store toxins right in my belly.

Switching to olive oil or avocado oil feels like a clean slate.

And I can tell my body’s thanking me.

Step 3: Shrink My Eating Time to Feel in Charge

I’m trying a little fasting, nothing too obsessive, just staying consistent.

Breaking my fast with real food, not sugar, keeps my hormones happy.

Sticking to it makes me feel in charge, like I’m running the show.

Step 4: Cut the Junk Carbs to Stay Steady

Bread and pastries?

Out you go…

Sweet potatoes or green apples?

You’re in.

Keeping my blood sugar steady stops the belly bloat.

And I feel more like myself, not a rollercoaster of cravings.

Step 5: Pump Up Protein to Feel Strong

Eggs, chicken, beans, protein’s my new best friend.

Why wouldn’t I build muscle to burn fat even when chilling?

And every meal leaves me feeling strong, like I can tackle anything.

Step 6: Kick Out Toxins to Feel Safe

Those sneaky obesogens in plastics and pesticides are messing with my belly.

And I knew it’s better to use glass, grabbing organic when I can…

And washing my veggies makes me feel safe, like I’m protecting my new me.

Step 7: Move a Bit to Chill Out

Stress is shoving fat to my belly with cortisol.

I do a 10-minute walk after dinner kicks it to the curb.

Each step calms me down.

As a result, I can feel I’m melting fat while unwinding.

Step 8: Build Muscle to Feel Tough

A little strength training like simple bodyweight stuff or weights.

It really helps to turn me into a fat-burning machine.

Feeling those muscles grow makes me tough.

I feel like I’m owning my body all day long.

Step 9: Chill with Mindfulness to Feel Glowy

Breath work, a quick stretch, or just saying thanks for my body.

Doing this keeps stress away.

Every calm moment makes me feel glowy.

The true vibrant me I’m stepping into.

Living the New Me and What I’ll Feel

This isn’t just about a flatter belly, it’s about me feeling like a new person.

I’ll see jeans fitting better, my health improving…

More energy to keep up with my day.

And people noticing my glow…

My husband says, “You look amazing.”

And I see my friends’ eyes widen.

Yes, I feel differently inside and outside…

Get treated differently by others.

See tangible results that validate the change.

Inside, I feel confident, less stressed, full of pep…

I have peace within myself I haven’t experienced in years.

My loved ones will see it too.

And that’s the proof I’ve stepped into my new self.

What’s Been Holding Me Back

How I’m Breaking Free and detoxing myself.

Stress from my out of control busy schedule…

Bad fats sneaking in and toxins I didn’t even know about.

And all those old diet flops, they’ve been my roadblocks.

Simply use proven science based 9 step-by-step plan

Yes I can break free…

Feel confident enough to keep taking action now.

Don’t have to be that person who gave up anymore.

Free to believing in this change and making it real.

I’m Stepping Into My New Self Right Now

I’m done waiting to feel good.

Starting fresh today, swapping that snack for berries.

Simply taking a 10-minute walk…

Simply just breathing deep and appreciating my body.

I can feel the shift already.

Truly I’m believing I’m that confident.

Want to join the vibrant me?

I can keep this good vibe going.

My new self is here and I’m stepping into her.

Yes, I know I can do this…

This shift doesn’t come from willpower.

It comes from alignment with biology, hormones, nervous system.

And my strong sense of self-worth…

I feel desirable again, loved, noticed, desired by their husband.

And feel admired, respected by family, complimented by peers.

Yes back in control without confusion, belly bloat…

And trying harder than everyone else with no visible payoff.

Ultimately, I did need to believe

I’m finally becoming the person I’ve always wanted to be.

And others will see it too…

This is relief from confusion, guilt, and overwhelm.

I feel grateful for the gift of trusting my body again.

Eating a balanced diet as part of your day-to-day life is critical to maintaining a long, energetic and healthy life.

A realistic diet encourages you to adopt healthy eating…

Also educates you about the importance of sensible eating through our nutritional services and diet plans.

Diet eating plans are complementary to all women currently participating in our boot camps and personal training services…

In addition to this, we also provide ongoing and up-to-date information and research to help educate you in choosing the right foods for your body.

We categorize our diet plans into three distinct areas and include:

* Low GI/low carbohydrate
* High protein
* Vegetarian

Its all about promoting women’s health, healthy eating via natural, whole foods to provide your body with all the daily nutrients it needs to achieve healthy weight loss…

YES, sustainable  energy for improved wellness and performance.

It is ideal to have smaller portions spread throughout the day…

This provide your body with a consistent supply of proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals so you can perform at an optimal level for longer.

For more information visit our top 25 healthy foods page currently recommended by health and nutrition professionals.

So What is a Healthy Diet

A good diet should provide your body with the nutrients it needs in the proper quantities.

A balanced and moderate diet is crucial to developing a healthy lifestyle.

Food provides seven essential substances your body needs: carbohydrates that provide energy; vitamins promote health; protein aids in growth and repairing the body…

Fat that protects muscles and internal systems from harmful collisions, functions as an energy storage system…

Fat helps maintain proper temperature by insulating the body; minerals to maintain body systems; fiber to assist in digestion and the processing of waste materials; and water that accounts of 70% of the human body.

Low GI/Low Carbohydrate Diet

Glycemic Index (GI) is calculated on a scale from 1 – 100 and measures the effect of food on our blood-glucose levels.

When we eat, our blood sugar levels increase leaving us full and energised.

Research has shown high GI carbohydrate foods causes our insulin to rapidly spike which results in a short energy burst before dropping, leaving you hungry and tired.

This is also damaging to our arteries, blood vessels and will result in weight gain.

Low GI carbohydrate foods on the other hand, sustain you over a longer period, leaving you feeling fuller for longer.

Eating a low GI diet means you are less likely to ‘snack’ on bad foods that are responsible for weight gain, tiredness and are generally unhealthy for you and your body.

Controlling your sugar intake is an important factor in achieving weight loss and consistent energy levels throughout the day.

The low GI/low carbohydrate diet is most recommended for women  trying to achieve maximum weight loss.

High Protein Diet

Much of our body is protein-based including our muscles, brain cells, skin, hair and nails.

A high-protein diet leaves you feeling fuller for longer and provides you with your daily energy needs.

Protein is the most important factor when exercising in order to tone.

You want to increase muscle mass as it is the key factor when it comes to building and repairing muscles.

Protein-rich foods including chicken, beef, lamb, fish and legumes release amino acids which when digested, are used to make new proteins to give us our energy sources.

We recommend this diet if you want to achieve quick weight loss and fast lean muscle gain.

Vegetarian Diet

Many people are choosing this diet as a healthy lifestyle option.

Vegetarian diets eliminate meat products and in some cases seafood and all animal by-products (vegan).

It is important when choosing to eat vegetarian, that you supplement your diet with protein and omega-rich foods including soy products, legumes, eggs, whole grains, nuts and seeds.

A well-balanced vegetarian diet has many health benefits and can reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and some types of cancer.

However if not carefully planned can have the opposite effect on the body.

Lose weight and enhancing women’s health…what’s the secret?

It’s a question many women deal with on a daily basis.

What’s the best way to lose weight and keep it off?

Pointers on Losing Weight Safely…

Women who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all think about reducing the amount of food they eat.

This may be a quick solution, not exactly the best choice.

In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to your health.

So how do you lose weight effectively and safely?

Here are some points to consider as a lose weight guide:

Beware of the Crash Diet…

Most women think trimming down calories alone can shed their unwanted excess fat.

Probably this is because of the low carb fad there is in advertising about low-calorie food products and beverages.

What a lot of women don’t know is this could be dangerous because when they decrease their calorie intake way below daily required levels, the body’s organs begin to shut down.

Burning fat requires a lot of energy.

Since there is not much energy to facilitate metabolism of fat, the body will run at a very slow pace resulting in fatigue, illness and weak immune system.

Researchers at California Polytechnic State University say the answer may rest in how your home environment supports you in your weight loss success.

The new study, appearing in The Annals of Behavioral Medicine, has found predictable factors like exercise and control over eating and over eating play a vital role…

So do factors in the home like fewer TV sets and more exercise equipment.

Researchers say people with fewer TV sets have better weight loss success.

Researchers compared people who had lost over 10 percent of their body weight and kept it off for at least five years.

They compared overweight or obese individuals who have been unsuccessful with long-term weight loss.

They found people successful at weight loss:

  • Have a strong commitment
  • Exercised more often
  • Made healthy food choices
  • Healthy eating habits
  • Healthier homes (fewer televisions)
  • More exercise equipment
  • Better quality food…

“You have to pay attention to your home environment if you want to succeed. Do you have a TV in every room? When you walk into your kitchen, do you see high-fat food or healthy food?”

Asked the study’s lead author Suzanne Phelan.

Dr. David Katz from the Yale University School of Medicine says the study proves some markers of success are self-explanatory.

For example: Exercising more and eating more sensibly.

It also highlights the importance of changing your environment to promote a healthier lifestyle rather than just having willpower.

Some health practitioners have suggested an alkaline diet for people trying to shed extra pounds.

It is based on citrus fruits, vegetables, tubers, nuts and legumes.

Remember, as your weight loss coach I’m committed to helping you get better results and enjoy a happier quality of lifestyle success.

The reality is, success weight loss stories only happen as you succeed, so that’s another reason why I’m motivated to help you every step of the way.
