Why it’s so hard to lose the last 5 or 10 pounds & what you can do about it

Why it’s so hard to lose the last 5-10 pounds👇🏻(& what you can do about it)

⠀

⠀

Those stubborn few pounds are the difference between feeling squishy vs a lean stomach

⠀

⠀

🤰🏻Most of our critical organs are in our midsection, so naturally our bodies want to protect them with fat

⠀

⠀

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

⠀

⠀

To get rid of the last layer, you’ll need to:

⠀

🥒clean up sugar / processed food intake

💪🏼eat more protein! <60g a day is not enough!

🏋🏽‍♀️incorporate more weight training to build muscle which burns more calories & gives you a tighter, more toned appearance

💧improve your gut health by drinking a lot of water (2+ liters), herbal teas (dandelion is great), & supplementing with high quality probiotics.

📈monitor your caloric intake closely!
