Why itโs so hard to lose the last 5-10 pounds๐๐ป(& what you can do about it)
โ
โ
Those stubborn few pounds are the difference between feeling squishy vs a lean stomach
โ
โ
๐คฐ๐ปMost of our critical organs are in our midsection, so naturally our bodies want to protect them with fat
โ
โ
Excess stress (of any kind, including eating foods that are inflammatory like processed sugars) also leads to an increase in cortisol and stress eating, thus belly fat
โ
โ
To get rid of the last layer, youโll need to:
โ
๐ฅclean up sugar / processed food intake
๐ช๐ผeat more protein! <60g a day is not enough!
๐๐ฝโโ๏ธincorporate more weight training to build muscle which burns more calories & gives you a tighter, more toned appearance
๐งimprove your gut health by drinking a lot of water (2+ liters), herbal teas (dandelion is great), & supplementing with high quality probiotics.
๐monitor your caloric intake closely!
