How to lose your Belly Fat

Everyone is looking for a ‘silver bullet’ these days. They’re looking for that ‘one simple trick’ that can change their lives and make everything better – that will make them feel more energetic, more attractive and more successful.


Because let’s face it: life can be something of a slog for most of us. We wake up in the
morning feeling tired and not wanting to haul ourselves out of bed. Then we drag
ourselves to work through busy, stressful commutes and then we force our way
through a long hard day.


When we get home, we usually feel too tired and depressed after our working week
to do anything worthwhile, and so we just crash out in front of the couch.


Many people struggle with feelings of low self-esteem, of depression and of
loneliness on top of this. We’re constantly connected but many of us feel that we
struggle to make real, worthwhile connections.

Is there really one simple trick that can turn that all around? That can give you a new
lease of life and help you feel like a million bucks?


Well, I’m here to tell you that there is. And it’s perfectly obvious when you think
about it. The simplest way to turn your life around and to feel the best you’ve ever
felt is to get rid of that belly fat.

If you’re currently living with a mushroom top, ‘Dad bod’ or just a spare tire around your waist, then it is dragging you down more than you could possibly know.

How Belly Fat Makes Everything Worse

Of course we all know that belly fat can ruin your confidence. Having a gut is simply not attractive whether you’re a male or female and it’s something that is going to make you
feel a whole lot worse about yourself as a result.


Having a gut doesn’t just get rid of any chance you might have stood of having a six
pack, it also ensures that you look like a stuffed potato whatever clothes you wear.
It’s immensely hard to put on a great shirt or dress and to leave the house feeling like
a million bucks when you have a massive gut hanging out.


More than that though, a gut signals generally poor health. This suggests that you
are less active and what normally goes along with that is a general lack of tone and
definition that can be seen everywhere from your arms to your face.


Women: do you remember when you used to feel light, petit and strong? Like a
toned and honed Amazonian ready for business and enjoying all the stares coming
your way?

Guys: do you remember what it felt to have a dominating presence in the room? To
look slightly like an athlete in your clothes and to have the look of a predator? To be
an alpha male and to look fantastic in nearly every outfit you wore?


Having a gut changes your posture too. It forces you into a more forward position
that slumps your shoulders forward and closes off your chest. This is a submissive
stance that sends a loud signal to others that you aren’t confident and that you don’t
need to be taken seriously! Women meanwhile can expect to look frumpy and tired.
Having a gut transforms you from the bottom up and brings you screaming into
middle age. It suggests that you’ve stopped trying and affects your very body
language – which of course has a deep psychological impact.


Then there are the direct results of getting into better shape.

Of course your sex life will improve and I’m not just talking about for single people. Obviously picking up
women/men becomes much easier when you look healthy and sexy but you’ll also
find your relationship improves.


How would you feel about your partner if they become more toned and sexy? Or if
they gained lots of weight quickly conversely?
And then there’s the way that a belly can impact on your libido – or lack thereof. If
you’re not having sex, then losing the gut might be the answer. And guess what?
Getting into lean shape can improve your salary too. Studies show that employers


are more likely to employ or promote people who are in better physical shape! On
average men and women who are more toned earn higher salaries!
And that’s before we have even touched on the direct psychological consequences of
carrying a belly around. Because as soon as you grow that gut, you’re going to start
producing significantly more stress hormones such as cortisol which will increase
depression and rob you of energy.


Of course, that gut drastically increases your likelihood of developing a number of
different conditions as well. This also creates something of a vicious circle – the
7 increase in cortisol and in stress increases your likelihood of gaining more weight and
encourages stress eating. Not only that, but it also makes you significantly less
energetic and makes it harder for you to engage in healthy activities such as exercise.
In other words, having a belly makes it much harder to get rid of a belly.

And that’s before you take into account the fact that you’re now moving around with a large tub of lard attached to your gut. Let’s face it – you are not in your prime and athletic
activities probably aren’t your strong suit right now.

But imagine if they were…


And that’s what we’re going to start fixing in this book. I haven’t even touched on all
the ways that belly fat can lead to depression, further weight gain, low self-esteem
and even serious health conditions. If none of these other reasons is going to provide
enough motivation then simply consider that a belly will increase your likelihood of
cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart disease and more.
So yes, this really is the one thing that you can do to change your entire life. If you
look after your body, it looks after you. And now we’re going to see how you can
make that positive change happen.
