Let me uncover the secret of fat storage, and how to rid your body of it more quickly…
Where you store fat on your body will allow you to determine what causes it…
The surprising truth is that not all body fat is caused by a poor diet, but you still need to adhere to sensible eating none-the-less.
Excess carbohydrates will end up stored around your love handle area and your upper back…
Excess stress (cortisol) will cause you to have a larger stomach than you might like..
Excess estrogen, the female hormone, will give you chunky, flabby arms…
You see, many factors affect the fat you gain and just how much of it you keep.
Stress can be caused by late nights – anything beyond 11pm is considered ‘late’ to your body.
Excess carbs will cause you to gain faster than an F1 car coming up alongside!
To rid yourself of love handles and upper back fat you need to be strict on the carbs.
Stick predominantly to vegetables and fruit as much as possible, and heavily reduce bread, pasta, rice and baked foods.
Excess estrogen, a hormonal imbalance, can be helped with a daily intake of fish oil and quality fats, as well as an increase in zinc – lentils, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, tofu and figs.
When you realise that many factors can affect where you store body fat, you start to understand why fat loss is about more than just exercising more and eating ‘more sensibly’.
It’s a lifestyle choice, and without a healthy lifestyle to support your efforts, you’ll find the going slower and harder.
