Girlies, girlash, girls! Para sa atin to! Let’s lose belly fat together! 😍👙👍

What is going on in women’s body?

The Hormone Belly

Out of balance, hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) turn against you and your image.

Causes of unbalanced hormones?

1. Unhealthy diet

2. Not engaging in the right type of exercise

3. Visceral body fat

4. Environmental factors

An Unhealthy Diet

Avoid processed foods and “fat free”, replace saturated fats with monosaturated fats.

Eating monosaturated fats also help to make you feel fuller longer and prevent cravings for food like ice cream and French fries.

Not Engaging In the Right Types of Exercise

The average person tends to have lower oxygen levels in their body, then an athletic person.

Lower oxygen levels means:

– Become easily stressed

– Water retention, especially in the ankles

– Low energy and fatigue after eating

– Weight gain

High Intensity Interval Training workouts (HIIT) are important for weight loss.

Visceral Body Fat

Your natural hormone balance is upset and this causes weight gain, especially in the belly area.

Environmental Factors

Xenoestrogens become estrogen-like hormones in your body and unlike normal estrogen, your body is unable to excrete them naturally.

When they are not moved out of your body, they are creating more visceral fat.

SO….. HOW TO GET RID OF BELLY FAT?

1) Lumps and Bumps Be Gone

2) Eat Right

3) Shake Your Booty

1. Relief from Neuropathy

Less Sleep = Weight Gain

Study (published in In the American Journal of Epidemiology) was found that:

Women that slept for 5 hours or less gained more weight than women who slept 7 hours or more, regardless of dietary or exercise changes.

2. Eat Right

• Melons

• Grapefruit

• Strawberries

• Peaches

• Celery

• Cucumber

• IcebergLettuce

• Cabbage

• Cauliflower

Also have a salad before every meal. Increase your heart healthy fats and monosaturated fats by including:

• Avocados

• FlaxSeed

• ChiaSeed

• Coconut Oil

• Walnuts

• Coconut Oil

• Olive Oil

3. Shake Your Booty

Dance while doing household chores.

Rebounding or jumping is equally important to get your daily requirements of oxygen.

Implement HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training workouts) into your exercise regimen and get maximum benefits in less time.

HIIT is effective not only for weight loss but belly fat loss and healthy hormone production.

Baylor College of Medicine (in 1996) reported that calories continue to burn long after your Intense Interval Training has ended for the day.

1. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

This pantry staple can actually help you lose weight by reducing sugar cravings. Ingesting apple cider vinegar before a meal can also help you feel fuller with less food.

2. BONE BROTH

Bone broth is one of my absolute favorite healing foods. It truly has the potential to transform your health in tangible ways and help burn fat.

3. CAYENNE PEPPER

Cayenne pepper increases your body’s ability to burn fat for energy and increases your body’s metabolism, helping you burn fat faster and more easily.

4. CHIA SEEDS

Not only does consuming chia seeds increase energy, but because it absorbs so much of its own weight in water, it helps slow your body’s digestion.

5. CHICKEN

If you’re trying to lose weight, chicken can be a powerful fat-burning food. This powerful nutrient helps keep our bodies energized, our muscles looking sculpted, and our bellies feeling satiated.

6. COCONUT OIL

Not all fats are created equal. In fact, coconut oil is one of the healthiest, most natural fats we can consume. It can help decrease both body weight and body fat while keeping your thyroid running smoothly.

7. CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES

Cruciferous veggies, like kale, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, are super powerful fat-burning foods.

8. GHEE

Ghee is a surprising fat-burning food. Thanks to the medium-chain fatty acids it contains it can actually help your body burn other fats.

9. GRAPEFRUIT

Grapefruits are just as delicious and, luckily for us, is a major fat-burning food as well. Enzymes found in the fruit help your body break down sugar, helping to boost your metabolism and drop those pounds.

10. GRASS-FED BEEF

Skipping the lower quality versions and splurging on quality beef means you’ll be nourishing your body, helping to encourage weight loss. You’ll be reducing bad cholesterol levels, thanks in part to the lower fat content found in grass-fed beef.

11. GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES

Leafy greens like spinach, collard greens, and Swiss chard are chock-full of nutrients and iron. These fat-burning foods help keep muscles functioning properly and burning calories after a workout.

12. MATCHA GREEN TEA

Sipping on a cup of matcha green tea is more than just soothing; drinking it regularly can actually reduce body fat and lower cholesterol levels.

13. KEFIR

Kefir is a fermented drink similar to yogurt loaded with medicinal benefits. It’s also packed with probiotics, the (good!) bacteria aiding your body in fighting infections.

14. ROOIBOS TEA

While rooibos tea is technically an herbal drink, it’s making waves in the weight loss community. Because it contains a flavonoids and phytochemicals that can help drop pounds and boost metabolism, it’s become a fat-burning food.

15. WHEY PROTEIN

Adding whey protein to your breakfast smoothie or taking a daily supplement can help your body not only decrease body fat and increase muscle tone, but also spike energy levels while stabilizing blood sugar.

Fat loss ba ‘kamo, mumshie? Eto! 👇😉 #fatlosshierarchy #fatlossgoals #fitnessjourney

1. Adherence

The single most important part about any diet is adherence. Not having sustainability in your diet is the downfall of many dieters. Your life shouldn’t revolve around your diet. Your diet should fit into your life.

2. Total Caloric Balance

Being in a caloric surplus will cause you to gain weight. Being in a caloric deficit will cause you to lose weight. There are no magic diets. No magic foods. It all comes down to calories in vs. calories out.

3. Non-Exercise Activity (NEAT)

NEAT is all movement that’s non-exercise related. Tapping your foot, fidgeting, standing in line, strenuous job (e.g. construction), etc. All these small movements add up to be significant.

4. Exercise Activity

Exercise activity is the area that we try to control the most, but it only accounts for 15-30% of our daily energy expenditure. It’s also the most time consuming aspect.

5. Sleep

People who sleep 8.5 hours per night vs. 5.5 hours per night use approximately 400 calories more! That means you could eat 2,800 more calories per week when dieting vs. someone who wasn’t sleeping enough.

Fat loss ba ‘kamo? ‘Eto mga tips para maging epektibo ang pagtanggal ng taba sa iyong sistema! 👍😊 #dontlosefat #getridofthatfat #fatlossjourney

Diet at an Appropriate Rate

Most people try to lose as much body weight as quickly as possible. However, this may not be the most effective approach to maintaining muscle mass while dieting.

Use a Flexible Approach

Many individuals significantly restrict food choices or follow a set meal plan while dieting. While this may work in the short term, it is not sustainable long term.

Eat Adequate Protein

Protein is important for muscle recovery. It can also help you feel full while dieting. Protein needs may be increased in someone who is dieting, training hard, and very lean.

Don’t Eliminate Carbohydrates or Fat

It is common for most people to significantly restrict or even eliminate fat and or carbs while attempting to lose weight. However, removal of carbohydrates can decrease performance during a workout which may lead to increased muscle loss while dieting.

Keep Food As High As Possible While Still Making Progress

Dieting results in a number of physiologic changes, including metabolic adaptation to the reduced caloric intake and caloric deficit. This leads to plateaus in weight loss along the way.

Don’t Stress Over the Small Details

Most people sweat over a lot of small details trying to lose fat. However, many of these small details aren’t worth worrying about.

Supplements Will Not Make Up For a Poor Diet

We’re not telling you supplements are worthless. But taking an excessive amount of supplements won’t make up for inconsistent nutrition and training habits.
