Do you make these belly fat loss mistakes?

They’re common. I see smart professionals making them all the time.

And they’re sabotaging your fat loss goal…

1. Following Fat Free Diets

Healthy fats increase your cholesterol (the good kind).

Cholesterol is essential for hormone production.

When you follow a fat-free diet, you lower your good cholesterol.

Which lowers your hormone levels:

Lower testosterone in men, causing man boobs and low sex drive.

Fluctuating levels of Estrogen in women, affecting your menstrual cycle and leading to water retention.

Don’t follow fat-free diets.

2. Doing Long Cardio

As you age, you’re losing 8% of your muscle mass per decade.

Long cardio speeds up this process by causing muscle breakdown.

Low muscle mass means a lower fat-burning rate.

And a lack of mobility and functional strength.

You want to build and maintain muscle, not speed up the loss.

Stick to 80% muscle-building workouts, 20% HIIT cardio.

3. Having ‘Healthy’ Shakes & Snacks

‘Healthy’ bars like Nakd have 3tsp of sugar in them.

On-the-go shakes like USN DietFuel and Slim Fast have between 2-5tsp of sugar.

A high-sugar diet reduces your insulin sensitivity.

Which…

  • Leads to fat storage
  • Makes you feel lethargic
  • Reduces muscle mass

And if left unchecked for too long, it can lead to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

4. Exercising Too Much And Too Often

Too much exercise leads to:

  • Joint Problems
  • Burn out
  • Insomnia
  • Irritability 

Over-training puts your body in a state of stress, which causes cortisol release.

Cortisol inhibits fat-burning hormones and causes muscle breakdown when elevated long-term.

It’s about an intelligent approach to training…

Aim for quality, not quantity.

Losing Belly fat is overwhelming because there’s so much out there.

Strip everything back and look at it from a rational approach…

If your body isn’t functioning correctly due to lifestyle and diet, then it won’t perform correctly.

And you will store belly fat easier, and struggle to build lean muscle.

Imagine a car engine…

If that’s broken, you don’t add a spoiler and change the oil hoping it will drive again.

You fix the engine.

Your body is the same – fix your engine.

It should be burning fat at rest, and carbs when you exercise.

Known as having good ‘metabolic flexibility’.

I go into more detail about how to fix your body engine to restore your metabolic flexibility in “Belly Fat Annihilation:”

Hello, my friend… I help busy professionals build lean muscle and transform their bodies from home-with a TRX suspension trainer or resistance band, and simple nutrition optimisation. I call it Fitness Freedom!

I spent 8+ years as a personal trainer hating the ego-driven gym culture. Every day I saw busy professionals like you struggle to make sessions, feel intimidated by the environment, and regard the gym as a chore NOT enjoyment. Because of this, their results were limited. But they believed there was no other way. So in 2016, I setup Fitness Freedom Athletes. To teach you how to transform you body from home… so you never need to rely on gyms, diet fads, or anyone else’s schedule.
