What if we tell you that you can trim down your waist by to up
to 3 inches in just 14 days?
And that all you
need to do is to make a few changes to your diet and lifestyle?
1. Prepare Detox Water.
It’s super easy
to make.
Just toss in a
few slices of your favorite citrus fruit in a pitcher of water in the fridge.
Citrus fruits
carry abundant amounts of powerful anti-oxidant compounds in their peels such
as limonene.
Limonene is
known to promote weight loss, prevent cancer, treat cancer, and treat
bronchitis.
They also stimulate the liver enzymes, aiding in flushing toxins
out of the body.
Some citrus
fruits that work well are lemons, oranges and grapefruits.
Consume at least
8 glasses of detox water throughout the day from morning until before bedtime.
2. Get Some Sun Before Breakfast.
A recent study
suggests that the morning light is not only good for plants for photosynthesis
but also for human metabolism.
It says that
sunlight exposure between 8 am to noon decreases weight gain regardless of the
type and intensity of the activities you do, your calorie intake and your age.
How does it work? Researchers hypothesize that the
morning light activates your metabolism and devitalize your fat genes.
So when you take
a brisk walk or do some physical activity outside before having your breakfast,
you’re forcing your body to burn calories from your fat stores rather than from
the food you eat.
3. Have A Hearty And Healthy Breakfast.
A healthy
breakfast is the best way to refuel yourself after going around 12 hours
without food.
By healthy, we
don’t mean tasteless food either.
To get your body’s metabolism kick-started for the day, make sure
your breakfast contains protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
We’re talking
pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, eggs, meats, homemade cereals, oatmeal, and
delicious smoothies.
4. Power-Up With Eggs.
Protein is
essential for muscle-building.
If you’re
looking for a go-to source of protein, eggs are one of your best options.
They are
easy-to-prepare and can be cooked in various ways.
They are also
loaded with choline, which stifles the fat-storing gene mechanism that tells
your body to store excess fat around your liver.
Choline can also
be found in lean meats, seafood, and collard greens.
5. Say ‘Pass’ To Green Fruits And ‘Yes’ To
Reds.
Red fruits such
as red grapes and watermelon contain higher levels of flavonoids than, say,
green grapes and honeydew melon.
These flavonoids
are known to make your body turn off fat-storing genes.
Because red fruits have more flavonoids than greens, they are
also more nutritious.
In particular,
they have anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid that gives them their crimson to
deep purple coloring.
Red-bellied
stone fruits such as plums are also high in phenolic compounds that curb the
action of fat-storing genes.
6. Eat Guacamole.
Avocados are
great weapons against belly fat.
Because they are
crammed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, they keep you feeling full
longer.
In addition, the
unsaturated fat content in these fruits are known to prevent tummy fat storage.
7. Make Your Own Trail Mix.
A good trail mix
is a blend of protein, fiber, and healthy fats without extra oils, salt, and
sugar.
To cut down on
these unwelcomed additions, mix up your own choice of nuts, unsweetened dried
fruits, seeds, and dark chocolate.
Make sure you
add peanuts into your trail mix, which are a top source of the fat-gene
suppressors, genistein and resveratrol.
8. Have Some Exercise For Snacks.
Yup, you read that right.
We all know that
exercise comes hand in hand with a good diet plan.
Realistically
though, going to the gym only works when we have the energy and time to spare.
However, a study
conducted by scientists in New Zealand showed that doing a simple 10-minute
exercise routine can have a strong effect on decreasing blood glucose levels,
which is optimal for your body to fight off the fat.
Try doing a
short 10-minute exercise routine before breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
9. Eat Green Salads Before Lunch And Dinner.
Leafy greens,
such as kale, collard greens, watercress and arugula are filling and low in
calories.
They also
contain a compound called sulforaphane that may help you reach a healthier body
weight.
Add a teaspoon
of vinaigrette to the leafy greens to help your body absorb these fat-soluble
nutrients.
10. Indulge In Dark Chocolate And Berries For
Dessert.
Forget about counter-productive, self-denial diets that make
you, at one point or another, feel frustrated and defeated.
And let’s face
it, only a few of us see long-lasting results on these diets.
One of the
heavenly foods you can spoil yourself with is dark chocolate, which has been
proven to decrease weight gain and high blood sugar levels in laboratory mice.
Gut microbes in
your stomach also ferment chocolate, turning it into compounds that fight off
the genes linked to insulin resistance and inflammation.
As for berries,
they help speed up the fermentation process.
11. Pass Up On Farmed Salmon And Go For Wild
Salmon.
Salmon is very
rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
But there’s a
huge difference between wild and cultured salmon.
While wild salmon
has 1,253 mg of omega-3s and just 114 mg of omega-6s, farmed salmon carry 1,900
mg of omega-6s.
Omega-3 and omega-6 are essential fatty acids but they must be
in a healthy ratio, with more omega-3s than omega-6s, so opt for wild salmon
when you can.
12. Hold Off Taking Extra Supplements.
Mega-dosing on
supplements has been found to activate our fat genes and, consequently,
increase the chances not only of obesity but of diabetes as well.
A daily
multivitamin is probably fine, but taking excessive amounts of other vitamins
may be counter-productive and actually cause you to gain weight.
A Secret 'Carb Trick' That Burns Up To 1
Pound Per Day
If you’re like most women trying to lose
weight… you diet, you count calories, you tear up the treadmill, and… nothing.
That’s how 40-year-old Sarah Donovan, an
overweight mother with prediabetes was feeling…
She did "everything right" and
never lost an inch.
Until she stumbled on this strange "carb-pairing"
trick and burned away an unheard of 22lbs pounds in just 13
days.
And because of this one simple shift in
her eating, she shed pounds and inches from her body without starving herself
and without a lick of exercise!
With the same "carb-pairing"
trick Sarah dropped a total of 37lbs in the FIRST month and she shocked her
doctor by completely reversing ALL pre-diabetes symptoms!
