You know what I'm talking about.
The dreaded muffin top.
You might get rid of it for a while, but it always comes back! I'm going to give you five simple weight loss tips which will help you lose that muffin top, and make sure it NEVER comes back.
1.
Watch how much sugar you take in.
I'm talking pop, cookies, candy, whatever.
This stuff has NO nutritional content! It's just sugar and it's not helping you.
If you want to lose weight, you have to cut this kind of stuff out of your diet.
I'm not saying you can never have a Coke again - but just don't make it a part of every meal.
This kind of food goes straight to your waist, and if you cut it out, you'll be surprised at how fast you'll lose weight.
2.
Eat protein.
A lot of women leave this out of their diets, but it's super important! Protein will help you repair those muscles (otherwise you won't be able to exercise and burn away the fat) and it's also a great, long-lasting source of energy.
If you eat some protein at breakfast (eggs are a great source) then it'll keep you full for longer, and help you avoid snacking on unhealthy, sugary foods.
3.
Try a nutritional supplement.
You have to be careful with these, but used correctly you can get great, consistent weight loss results.
The Acai Berry is an all-natural, healthy way to add a lot of nutrition to your diet and it's really easy to use! You can get it at a health-food store and take the extract in the form of pills, eat it as pulp, or drink it in a smoothie.
Another option is conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) - this supplement is extracted from beef and dairy products.
Studies have shown that it actually speeds up weight loss, by increasing your metabolism.
It helps you lose body fat and gain lean muscle.
4.
Eat more meals, less often.
After a huge meal, your blood sugar spikes, and your body saves a lot of sugar as fat.
That's the opposite of what you want! So instead of eating two or three huge meals a day, eat several smaller meals throughout the day.
Your blood sugar will be more constant and stable, and your body won't have to resort to storing up fat.
This one's easy because you don't actually have to eat LESS, you just have to split up your food into more meals.
You won't get as hungry, and you'll lose weight.
5.
Never, ever, ever skip breakfast.
This might seem obvious, but too many people still do it.
Let me say it again...
it's a TERRIBLE idea! Skipping breakfast might be convenient when you're busy and you have to get to work in the morning, but don't EVER think it's a good way to lose weight.
If you skip breakfast, your body will panic and try to save up energy (as fat) in case you have to skip other meals, too.
This means that skipping breakfast will actually make you GAIN weight.
So remember: have a healthy breakfast, every day.
