5 Simple Steps to Lose Belly Fat Fast

Check out my client Aaron’s transformation where he put on a whole bunch of fat.

What’s up guys in today’s video we’re going over the five simple steps to lose belly fat fast.

By following these five simple yet very effective steps you’ll get rid of your belly fat and have a flat stomach in the shortest amount of time possible.

Now the goal of all of these steps is to lower your insulin levels and increase your glucagon levels.

Insulin is a fat storage hormone that’s released when your blood glucose levels rise. When you have low blood sugar there’s very little insulin present in your body.

On the other hand when you have high blood sugar insulin is running around like crazy storing excess glucose that can’t be held by your liver or your muscles as fat.

When your blood sugar drops low enough your body releases a hormone known as glucagon.

Glucagon has the inverse effect of insulin and that’s exactly why it’s so important for burning body fat.

Now unfortunately there’s no way to Target fat burn so burning overall body fat is going to be the best and the most efficient way to burn belly fat.

So when we decrease our blood glucose levels insulin levels plummet and glucagon acts to maintain normal blood glucose levels.

The first step in doing this is a process known as glycogenolisis

where glucagon stimulates the conversion of stored glycogen from the liver to glucose for your bloodstream.

Glucagon will also promote the conversion of amino acids to glucose through a process known as gluconeogenesis.

And the last and most important thing that it does for losing belly fat is that glucagon acts on adispose tissue to stimulate the breakdown of fat stores into the bloodstream.

so the question is how do we decrease insulin levels and increase glucagon levels to prevent us from storing any more fat and instead to help us burn more fat?

And the first step is to follow a low-carb diet by eliminating all processed foods simple carbohydrates and sugary beverages and in general limiting all carbs.

Now low carb diet is not the only way that you can burn belly fat but it’s one of the fastest ways that you can lower your insulin levels in order to burn belly fat.

In one study people with metabolic syndrome were randomized to receive either a low-fat or low-carb diet containing 1500 calories.

The insulin levels dropped by an average of 50 percent in the low carb group and only 19 percent in the low-fat group even though they had the same amount of calories.

Carbohydrates are the most insulinogenic out of the three macronutrients protein carbs and fats.

Now in general  consuming fewer calories has consistently shown to increase insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin levels in overweight and obese people regardless of the type of diet that they consume.

So again even though it’s not the only way to do it a low-carb diet can help you deplete the glycogen in your liver and start burning fat faster.

Step number two is to try fasting because not eating is by far one of the best ways to keep insulin levels at their lowest.

I mean it makes sense if you’re not taking it any calories your body is nothing to convert to glucose.

Start off with intermittent fasting where you fast for 16 hours a day and only eat during an 8-hour time block of the day.

So you might skip breakfast and instead just have lunch and dinner everyday. Fasting definitely works however be warned some people when they break their fast will be so hungry that they drastically overeat and that is going to cause a huge Spike in blood sugar and insulin levels.

To the point where it might have not even been so bad if you just didn’t fast. So for that reason fasting is not the answer for everyone.

If you’re the type of person that gets uncontrollably hungry when you fast and then you binge eat after the fast you may be better off spreading out your meals into small portions throughout the day and just sticking to a low-carb diet.

However like I said I would definitely give it a shot because there’s nothing out there that can lower your insulin levels the way that fasting can.

The third step is to begin exercising consistently and regularly.

I always like to use the gas tank example with this one imagine that your body’s gas tank the fuel that it runs off of is glycogen.

And every time you eat your refilling that gas tank. Just by breathing being awake standing sitting even sleeping your body has to use some energy from the gas tank almost like a car that’s running while parked.

However the amount of energy it uses while parked is not all that much. When you exercise it’s like driving your car in that your car begins running off of more gas to get it from point A to point B and your body begins running off of more glucose to complete your workout.

There’s evidence that shows that specifically resistance training can help decrease insulin levels.And that makes a lot of sense resistance training is a form of anaerobic training.

Anaerobic training is known to use a lot more glucose so it helps you empty out that tank a lot faster.

However we can’t just write off aerobics training because it has its place with insulin  as well it has been shown to be very effective  and increasing insulin sensitivity in people who are obese or have type 2 diabetes.

so you should really try to do a combination of both aerobic and anaerobic exercise. The only catch is that this is a gradual process which is why it’s so important for you to be consistent with your exercising.

If you’re constantly skipping days and missing weeks then the balance of how full your gas tank is from eating versus how empty it is from exercising won’t be very balanced at all you’re going to have an overflowing gas tank because you keep refilling a parked car.

Point is try to get at least 3 intense weight training sessions in every single week and sprinkle in one or two sessions of aerobic exercise like interval training.

Step number four is to avoid all forms of simple sugar and to stay away from refined carbs.

now I know I already told you guys that a low carb diet is one of the fastest ways to lower insulin levels but you can still do it other ways.

So here I want to be very specific about simple sugar because you guys don’t have to have a low-carb diet to lower insulin levels but you do have to have a low sugar diet.

sugar is actually probably the most important food to stay away from when trying to lower your insulin levels.

In one study overweight people who added high sugar foods to their usual diet experienced a 22 percent increase in fasting insulin levels.

On the other hand the other group in the study who instead of adding sugar added artificially-sweetened Foods experienced a 3 percent decrease in fasting insulin levels.

Now artificially sweetened foods present their own problems but this study shows just how much Havoc sugar can wreak on our insulin levels.

You have to cut out all soda candy and desserts. And for some reason people are under the impression that so-called Health Food sugar like honey or agave is better for you then regular sugar

however the fructose found in all of these when consumed in large quantities will promote insulin resistance which will ultimately Drive insulin levels higher.  stay away from all forms of sugar.

Now last but not least is tip number 5 which I know people will like the most only because it sounds like a hack.

There are certain ingredients that you can eat and certain things you can drink to help lower insulin levels.

However understand that these are only AIDS. They’re supplemental tips. They are not the main driver of lowering your insulin levels.

the other four tips that I mentioned are the main drivers this is just there to help a little more after you’re already doing the four other tips.

Okay so apple cider vinegar has been credited with preventing insulin and blood sugar spikes after eating especially when taken with high carb foods.

so you can try to throw in one or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar per day. Cinnamon is another one that shows in certain studies done on insulin resistant people that it can enhance insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin levels.

however this affect may vary from person to person so these studies are inconclusive this is why I say these are just extra little tips you can just add some cinnamon to your food and flavor a drink with cinnamon.

worst case scenario you’ll be getting some extra antioxidants.  and the last little trick is to drink green tea which certain study suggest that it may help fight insulin resistance.

Again all these little tips within step number 5 will not work unless you follow the other four steps.

that’s it guys I really hope this tip has helped you and if you’d like to find out how so many of my clients lost 20 pounds or 5 percent body fat visit my website gravity transformation.com where we’re running the challenge for free right now all you have to do is stick to the plan see you guys soon
