4 THINGS KEEPING YOU FROM LOSING BELLY FAT
17 / APRIL / 2024
SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES
Losing weight isn’t always easy… especially around our tummies. In fact, this is always the area of biggest complaint when clients come to see me.
Most people experience frustration, shame, and feeling like nothing is working, and I get it
You’re eating well
You’re exercising regularly
You’ve cut back on the wine
You’ve even stopped the daily chocolate fix in the afternoon
And you’re feeling like you’re working really hard for not a lot of results
Don’t beat yourself up if you’re feeling any of these! I noticed this in almost all of my clients, which is why I actually don’t focus on weight loss in my programs (hear me out)
I’ve done this enough times to know that… When we focus on the number on the scale, it becomes a mind game, all consuming and we look in the mirror every morning wondering why the belly still jiggles.
What we do instead… is focus on what’s driving the weight to stick, healing at the ROOT CAUSE, so weight loss is a byproduct of nourishing your body
THERE ARE 4 REASONS TYPICALLY THAT WE STORE WEIGHT…
- Poor liver detoxification (hello too much caffeine)
This speeds up our phase one pathways, but not phase two, which can lead to a traffic jam and our toxins being stored in our fat cells and therefore unable to be cleared from our body - Sugar (you’re not getting enough protein)
If you’re craving sweets, you’re probably not eating enough, and especially not eating enough protein which keeps those cravings at bay. - Alcohol (yes, every glass of wine does add up)
It’s not just the fact the body sees alcohol as poison and loads up the liver, but it is often laden with sugar, and creates extra stress… more than a trifecta right here! - High stress (that busy schedule of yours is driving that cortisol too high)
High cortisol causes our body to hold onto weight, particularly around the belly
TRY THIS ONE THING FOR EACH OF THE ABOVE:
☕️ You don’t have to give up your coffee, but try having it 90 minutes after waking, with some added protein/fats and only one a day (or a few times a week)
🥩 Aim for 30g of protein at every main meal
🍹 Pause the alcohol for 4 weeks
🙏 Add in some time for you… practice saying NO to things from time to time.
These are the first steps, and I’ve built out the rest of the step-by-step framework inside Reclaim Your Radiance.
