Sneaky Little Fat Loss Tips

Sneaky little fat loss tricks that I want to share with you!

Tip #1
This is a super-easy way to make your meals more satisfying and to lose additional weight without feeling like your giving up all your favorite foods.  Best of all, this simple tip makes your meals more enjoyable!

About 5 minutes before you start your meal, eat a spoonful of delicious creamy organic almond butter (natural peanut butter works too).

Not only does it taste delicious, but the healthy fats activate a little-known but powerful hormone called ghrelin.  It’s the hormone that tells your body loud and clear that it should feel full and satisfied.

2 things will happen.  As you eat, your body will be flooded with hormones that enhance the feeling of satisfaction.  And you’ll also feel full and delighted much sooner. 

Overeating and feeling bloated will be a thing of the past!

Tip #2

This is a powerful one because it allows you to burn extra fat WHILE YOU SLEEP.  Awesome right?

It’s another quick and easy trick you can start using today.

All you need to do is lower the temperature in your bedroom by a few degrees.  A recent study showed that dropping the room temperature from 75° to 67° causes men and women to burn more fat every single night.

It doesn’t get any better than that right?  You don’t have to sacrificeand give up everything you love to lose weight. 

Adjust your thermostat or turn up the A/C and burn fat while you snooze.  It’s truly effortless fat loss.

Tip #3
Use your body’s natural cycles to lose weight as fast and easy as possible.

Most people don’t know this but your body goes through natural metabolic cycles throughout the day.  It’s why you have energy in the morning, you get tired after lunch and why you get a little burst of energy when you get home at night.

The most important cycle for fat loss is in the morning.  No doubt about it.  That’s why leading fat loss researchers (and your mother) say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

So how can you take advantage of your body’s natural metabolic cycle in the morning?  Well I discovered a simple 5-minute routine you can do in the morning to burn fat and boost energy. 

You can finally get off your plateau with just a few tweaks to your existing program and CortiSLIM can help!

Adapting Exercise for Age Groups

Dr. Kareem worked with over 70,000 clients to date, over 1,000 in-person clients and patients, and coached over 700 people online, we've learned a thing or two about program adaptation by age, gender, or situation.

Program 'adaptation' or 'customization' is the key to your success, rather than a single variable such as age.  However, age does come with some 'rather' normal changes, such as:

• 15-25:  Body is very youthful, resilient, and has not experienced pain from previous injuries yet.  Risk tolerance is higher and should be kept in check, while continuously pushing limits and maintaining safety.   This is the era for body design.
   
• 25-35:  Body is extremely capable and muscle is easiest to grow; rather than focus on 'impact'-based activities, we're going to focus on joint stability, core strength, and developing a 'life' muscle base.  This way, your metabolism stays high for a very long time to come.
   
• 35-50:  Physical endurance, speed maintenance, and youthful aging become the priorities.  Working on the 'inside' of your body becomes more important than ever before, and you experience the consequences of years of prolonged sitting, standing, or repetitive motions you've done at work and at home.  Counter-acting aging becomes the highest priority to maintain and improve the quality of your life, and time is more of a factor than ever before.
   
• 50-65:  This is the era that requires you re-build strength.  Your metabolism is naturally slowing down, hormonal changes related to aging are taking place in both genders, and anti-aging exercise, nutrition, and mindset become the focal points of life, rather than career or education.  This is the peek of your career, the onset of golden years, and the moment that makes you want to give back and teach others.  The example you set now is one others will live by for years to come.
   
• 65+:  Body, figure, balance, pain elimination.  Time to 'tune in' your body, activate as much muscle as possible, and take your body slightly out of the comfort zone every day, so you can move like a kid again. 

You see, the same exercise program can work for all age groups, if designed effectively.  Depending upon how much you want to focus on strength vs flexibility vs fat loss, you can adjust the amount of weight you lift, the rest periods you take, and the reps of every exercise you do.  For 99% of exercisers out there, bodyweight -- or simple at-home equipment -- is all you need to get a phenomenal workout.

Stress, Anxiety and Weight Gain: How to Prevent Unwanted Weight Gain

Anxiety is inevitable for most of us. In this economy, many of us are worried about excessive bills continuously piling up, while others may be thinking about urgent deadlines at work or failing grades at school. You might be wondering: Is it possible that your new found belly fat might possibly be related? The answer is: Yes. But, there is good news! You can do something to whittle that tummy away.

How Stress Affects Your Weight

When you're worried or pressured, your body releases adrenalin, a hormone that gives you instant energy. Along with adrenalin, your body also releases cortisol which increases your appetite and ultimately drives you to eat more in order to replenish your used energy. People who frequently experience anxious situations consume comfort foods, especially high-calorie foods, even when not hungry. This habit leads to an unhealthy diet that causes you to gain weight and "visceral" fat - which is fat stored around the midsection and commonly known as belly fat. This is the most dangerous type of fat you can heave because it can lead to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

How to Avoid Stress-Induced Weight Gain

Knowing that anxiety affects your body in various ways, it's best that you take action to mitigate unwanted effects. Here's how you can interrupt the cycle and stop weight gain.

Exercise regularly:

Exercising not only burns calories; it also helps you feel better by releasing a cascade of hormones and biochemicals that lift up your mood.

Maintain a balanced diet, and never skip meals:

Avoid binging on high-calorie foods, and go for healthy foods like vegetables, whole grain and high-fiber foods.

Always find time to relax:

Self-care is so important, especially in times of stress. Whether it is a nice warm bath with candles, or a yoga class, or maybe coffee with your friends. Whatever makes me you feel good and cared for.

Take well-researched, doctor-formulated supplements like CortiSLIM which contain healthful ingredients that counter the effects of excess cortisol. 

CortiSLIM's ingredients provide a unique three-pronged approach to weight loss by addressing stress, enhancing thermogenesis (so you can burn more fat) and encouraging lean body mass through supporting healthy blood glucose levels. These revolutionary products blend three Proprietary Complexes in its unique and powerful weight loss formula's to give you The CortiSLIM Advantage.*

If you find yourself frequently upset, do your best to follow a healthy eating and exercising regimen. Live a healthy lifestyle, and take supplements like CortiSLIM to prevent gaining extra pounds.

Managing Stress

Managing Stress:

We all have stress sometimes. For some people, it happens before having to speak in public. For other people, it might be before a first date. What causes stress for you may not be stressful for someone else. Sometimes stress is helpful – it can encourage you to meet a deadline or get things done. But long-term stress can increase the risk of diseases like depression, heart disease and a variety of other problems.

There are very few among us who have never experienced stress. Whether it’s a pending work deadline or an overwhelming physical threat, our body’s response to stress can be both helpful and harmful.

Our stress response gives us the strength and speed to ward off or flee from impending danger. But when it continues, stress increases cortisol levels and can put us at risk for obesity, heart disease, cancer, and a variety of other illnesses. [Stress System Malfunction Could Lead to Serious, Life Threatening Disease by George Chrousos, M.D., Chief of the Pediatric and Reproductive Endocrinology Branch at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and Philip Gold, MD, of the Clinical Neuroendocrinology Branch at the National Institute of Mental Health, National Institutes of Health, 2002].

A threat to your life or safety causes your body to undergo immediate physical changes. A chemical signal deep inside your brain speeds stress hormones through the bloodstream, preparing your body to be alert and prepared to escape danger. This is known as the “Flight or Fight” response. You have faster reaction times, your concentration becomes more focused, and your agility and strength increase. When the stressful situation ends, hormonal signals switch off the stress response and the body returns to normal. [George Chrousos, M.D., and Philip Gold, MD, National Institutes of Health, 2002].

But with today’s fast paced lifestyle, stress often doesn’t let up. Many of us now constantly experience anxiety and worry about work, relationships, money, the economy, college expenses, and job security-among others. As a result, the stress hormones produced by our body in anticipation of physical harm or threat continue to wash through the system in high levels, never leaving the blood and tissues. The stress response that gave our ancestors the speed and endurance to escape life-threatening dangers runs constantly in many modern people and never shuts down.

If you have chronic stress, the best way to deal with it is to take care of the underlying problem. Counselling can help you find ways to relax and calm down.

Regular exercise, as well as medicines, and the following supplements, may also help:

Supplements, like CortiSLIM, that have stress mitigating ingredients can be helpful.

Supplements that reduce insulin resistance can be useful.

Chromium in appropriate form and dosages has been shown to be an effective insulin sensitizing agent that reduces excess insulin as well as glucose.

Calcium in appropriate form and dose may reduce fat deposition.

Vanadium can reduce appetite as well as improve glucose utilization by cells, thereby reducing excess insulin production.

Green Tea has been found to reduce absorption of fats, as well as reduce excess insulin production.

Green Tea also has an effect that increases metabolism, thereby increasing calorie burning with normal daily activities. Also, Green Tea contains caffeine that in many instances can reduce stress.

Magnolia Bark may reduce stress and cortisol secretion.
