Why Your Body is Refusing to Burn Belly Fat (And How to Fix It)

What’s the BIG difference between people struggling to lose belly fat vs. those who shed it almost effortlessly?

It all comes down to one thing: metabolic flexibility.

Let me explain…

Most folks who want to lose belly fat, immediately slash their calories.

They think “I need to eat less to lose weight and shed the gut”

Which on paper, is 100% scientifically true.

However, here’s what actually happens when you drastically cut calories without prepping your body first:

  • You lose muscle mass…
  • Your hormones get out of whack…
  • Hunger and cravings skyrocket…
  • And inevitably, you rebound and regain the weight.

It’s a vicious cycle.

And frankly, it’s miserable.

But the people who get LASTING fat loss results do things differently…

Instead of slashing calories from day 1, they focus on making their body metabolically flexible first.

They train their body to switch between burning carbs and burning fat (eaten or stored) for fuel.

This means the body learns to tap into its own fat stores for energy.

Rather than relying only on carbs and creating hunger cravings for them.

Once your body becomes metabolically flexible, you can lose weight eating at your maintenance level.

Your body just gradually sheds fat…

While maintaining lean muscle…

And without crazy hunger or cravings.

In fact, most of my clients drop 7-14 lbs…even before we reduce calories.

Then, we can gently lower calories and their body just keeps torching fat.

No huge struggle required.

I’ve had clients lose 42 lbs in 12 weeks this way. Without ever feeling ravenous or deprived.

And it’s all because we focused on metabolic flexibility first.

So if you’ve been struggling to shed belly fat, spinning your wheels with traditional “eat less, exercise more” approaches…

Please hear this:

It’s not your fault. There’s a better way. A smarter way.

Focus on getting your body metabolically flexible first.

Then gently reduce calories.

This is exactly what we do in my Belly Fat Annihilation Course.

It’s a step-by-step process to make your body an efficient fat-burning machine.

Yes, it takes a little patience on the front end.

You have to break your body’s dependence on quick carb hits for fuel.

But the payoff is so worth it.

Just sustainable results…

The kind that let you KEEP the weight off for good.

If you want to learn exactly how to do this, check out Belly Fat Annihilation.

It’s a proven process for becoming metabolically flexible and finally losing fat the RIGHT way.

To your leanest, healthiest body yet,

Hello, my friend… It’s my mission to help you build lean muscle and transform your body using just a suspension trainer 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 clients 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 date, Fitness Freedom Athletes has helped over 8000+ transform their bodies (and lives!).

I'm new to Suspension Training, where shall I start?

First up, welcome! Out of all the millions of websites out there thank you for visiting this one. Secondly, your interest and motivation will change your life. It did for me and thousands of fitness freedom athletes in our community of all ages. If you have a suspension trainer (like a TRX)...

The best place to start would be with the Beginner Suspension Trainer Total Body Transformation Program. It’s the most popular Program and will teach you the effective muscle-centric technique to transform your body and begin your life-changing journey.

If you’re seeking a resistance band Program, get stuck into the Band Muscle Pump Program which is for beginners/intermediates to learn the band muscle-centric technique and transform their body with just one resistance band.

What makes this different from other suspension training Programs?

Maybe you’ve tried suspension training before and it didn’t work, so you wonder how is this different?

Here’s the truth: You didn’t fail. The technique failed you.

Richard is 50 years old. He’d tried everything for his knee mobility problems. When he started my program, he told me: “I was skeptical because I’d tried suspension trainers before with no results.”

But here’s what changed everything… Richard learned Muscle-Centric Technique instead of the mindless “movement-centric” stuff he’d been doing from YouTube videos.

The difference – Instead of multiple muscles sharing the load (which creates zero growth stimulus), he learned to isolate individual muscles.

The result? In his own words: “I have dropped 12 lbs and gained 90% of my mobility back. The strength I have gained has helped significantly.”

Yes, you may have tried suspension training before. But you’ve never tried my suspension training technique. The one that actually builds lean muscle and transforms bodies.

  • What you tried before: Movement-centric technique (multiple muscles sharing load)
  •  What these Programs teach: Muscle-centric technique (isolated muscle overload)
  • Why it matters: Only isolated muscles get the stimulus needed for real growth

The reframe: Your previous “failure” actually proves you need the RIGHT technique, not the RIGHT equipment.

Do you have any training courses or Workout Programs?

Yes absolutely, I have The Fitness Freedom Suspension Trainer & Resistance Band Programs for all levels and fitness goals. They will teach you the effective 'Muscle-Centric Technique' that will transform your body! And cover everything from nutrition to mindset and performance execution.

PLUS, once you become a Fitness Freedom Athlete, you'll get access to a tun of member only resources and bonuses within the Fitness Freedom Athletes platform.

I got you covered for every challenge and every goal.

What if I'm too out of shape?

Plot twist: Being out of shape is your biggest advantage.

Joe said it perfectly: “Outstanding program. It is perfectly paced for true beginners who are looking for a way to start getting fit with a program that pushes you, but doesn’t ask too much too soon.”

The Programs have two phases specifically designed for this:

Phase 1 (4 weeks): Technique mastery and building your foundation Phase 2 (4 weeks): Transformation and strength building

Matt started overweight and out of shape. Result? “Lost 40+Lbs, getting lean, and showing great definition!”

Ben, another beginner, said: “I’ve been delighted with the Program…. thoughtful and well-rounded!”

  • Beginner advantage #1: No bad habits to unlearn
  • Beginner advantage #2: Fastest initial gains
  • Beginner advantage #3: Most dramatic visible changes

The reframe: Starting “out of shape” means you’ll see the most dramatic transformation.

Where are you based?

I am mainly based in London, UK. But I love travelling, specifically backpacking our beautiful world and experiencing other cultures... So most likely I may be based on the side of a mountain or little beach hut. Perhaps I’ll even meet you in person at some point… That would be just awesome!
