5 Tips to Trim Fat

1) Eliminate toxins and reduce toxic load with periodic detoxing, the average women puts 150 chemicals on her body daily! Food, additives, cleaning products, preservatives, lotions, colognes, digestive distress, non-organic food, prescription drugs, our environment, excessive alcohol consumption, pesticides, chemicals, xenoestrogens, toxic people and much more. Toxins are stored in fat cells and compromise your lymph and liver. The higher your body fat is, the higher your toxic load.

2) Keep a food journal. People who journal what they eat tend to lose twice as much weight make much more healthier food choices versus those who do not keep a food journal.

3) Balance your hormones. An in balance of hormones such as increased estrogen and elevated insulin, and decreased hormones as growth hormone, thyroid, DHEA, affect your fat loss efforts. Asses and address adrenal dysfunction which can lead to an imbalance of brain chemistry, increased fat, vital nutrient deficiencies, inflammation and more. A body that is sensitive to insulin will lose body fat more rapidly than an individual who is insulin resistant. Why? Insulin, in excess, is a fat storage hormone. If your pancreas constantly secrets insulin to bring the blood sugar down, you will become insulin resistant and may eventually become diabetic.

4) Manage your stress. Stress comes in many forms- physical, psychological, emotional, electromagnetic and spiritual stress. Anxiety and stress of any kind can cause excess belly fat because specific hormones signal your body to actually store fat and break down metabolically active muscle tissue.

5) Identify nutrient and metabolic deficiencies and correct them with the appropriate nutritional support. Every single one of us has different nutritional deficiencies and needs. Therefore, nutritional protocols will vary from person to person.
