What's KEEPING You From a Flat Belly?Doctors agree that internal belly fat is the most deadly kind of body fat there is. Studies show it dramatically increases the chance of illness such as heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, Alzheimer's, stroke, and even depression (suicide).
And if that wasn't bad enough, that dreaded belly bulge makes us look unattractive and it can demolish our self-esteem and confidence to boot.
But, what makes this situation even more frustrating is the fact that belly fat is considered by many to be the most stubborn and impossible weight to penetrate and burn. It's like the "Fort Knox" of body fat. Here's why:
PROBLEM #1: Your Hormones Are Out of Whack: Chronic stress causes your body to release a fat-storing hormone called cortisol. The more cortisol your body releases, the more belly fat you store. Plus, eating the wrong foods causes the fat-storing hormone insulin to skyrocket, while a fat-burning hormone called glucagon gets turned off. (Hello, belly fat!)
PROBLEM #2: Your Belly-Burning Furnace Is Busted: When you want to lose a lot of weight, you should cut calories for long periods of time, right?
WRONG.
Cutting calories magnifies nutrient deficiencies in your body. This results in severe cravings as your brain sends emergency "low nutrient signals" to your stomach to eat more food.
Problem is, most people end up eating more "nutrient-dead food" which causes cravings to completely spiral out of control. (If you feel hungry all the time, now you know why.)
After about a week of dieting, your body is genetically programmed to fight back by lowering the hormones responsible for keeping your metabolism humming along (like the calorie-burning thyroid hormones). At the same time, it will increase the "hunger hormone" leptin. (Double whammy.)
As a result, your weight loss will come to a screeching halt, lickity split.
At this point, to keep burning fat you'll be forced to reduce your calories even lower, and/or do MORE exercise. (Not fun… I've been there.)
PROBLEM #3: Your Food Is Laced with Obesity Additives: GIANT food manufacturers make BIG bucks creating "Frankenstein foods" that are stripped of belly-burning nutrients and stuffed full of dirt-cheap, artificial preservatives that make your belly bulge.
I call these chemicals Obesity Additives and studies show:
They cause a mineral imbalance that results in bloating and excess water weight.
They addict us by altering brain chemicals called neurotransmitters - just like the street drugs cocaine, morphine and nicotine do!
They cause pounds of "toxic waste" to accumulate in our digestive tracks. (Believe me, that belly bulge or "pooch" is not all belly fat.)
Those are the 3 BIG obstacles keeping you from EVER getting a flat belly. But don't worry: there is a real SOLUTION to these MAMMOTH problems. Please read more below...
3 Sneaky Tricks to Slashing Stomach Fat Fast
SNEAKY TRICK #1: The Calorie Confusion Method™: We've already established that severely cutting calories causes massive cravings along with a sudden drop in belly-burning hormones (if done longer than a week).
But, if you don't diet, how can you lose weight? Good question. The solution is to simply change the number of calories you eat every 7 days just before your body "catches on" to what you're doing and adjusts your fat-burning hormones.
Now, I'm not talking about indulging in a few "cheat meals," I'm talking about actually changing the number of calories you eat every 7 days in a row.
This is my Calorie Confusion Method™ and if you do it the right way (and there is a wrong way to do this), you will fix your broken metabolism and trick your body into continuously burning excess calories and unattractive belly fat, WITHOUT hitting a plateau or igniting a tidal wave of hunger and cravings in the process.
Very cool!
But here's the icing on the cake… you don't have to actually count calories to enjoy the benefits of Calorie Confusion. In fact, I designed the method so that it AUTOMATICALLY does this for you just by following a few simple rules.
SNEAKY TRICK #2: Eat These 37 Foods That Kill Belly Fat: Yep. There are certain foods like dark chocolate, peanut butter, and turkey legs (no kidding) that KILL belly fat for very specific reasons, and there are other specific foods that CAUSE it (and I'm not talking about obvious junk foods either). The secret is learning both of these types and then knowing how to swap the bad for the good to get a flat belly fast.
What's more, these special 37 foods DON'T contain addictive Obesity Additives, and they give you the nutrients you need to crush cravings while "scrubbing" your digestive track to eliminate pounds of "toxic waste" and excess water from your body in just the first WEEK.
SNEAKY TRICK #3: My Thermal Burn Technique™: The truth is, a calorie myth is going on. You see, some calories ignite what I call "Thermal Burn" while others are plain "Thermal Duds."
Get this, up to 30% of the calories you eat from certain foods, with a high Thermal Burn, will practically vanish after eating them because your body uses lots of calories to digest certain foods (but not all foods).
So, if you eat 1,000 calories of certain belly-flattening foods, your body will only register 700 of them. This means you just ate 300 FREE CALORIES.
But are they all diet foods? Nope! How about a thick, juicy cheeseburger and sweet potato fries… mouth-watering pizza… and melt-in-your-mouth lasagna.
With my "Thermal Burn Technique" you'll be able to ignite a burned-out metabolism by eating MORE food to lose MORE belly fat.
Are You Ready To FINALLY Kill up to 11 Pounds of Belly Fat,
Excess Water, and Toxic Waste Over the Next 7 Days?"
