Stress really is a killer. It affects your physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual health.
“How do I lose the belly fat?” – a question I receive almost every day.
Often times this comes down to you doing WAY too much. More is not always better.
Stress & belly fat are absolutely connected, we cannot address one without the other. I never realized the stress I was putting on my body with poor habits & a negative mindset.
They affected both my aesthetic & health goals.
Tips:
1. Manage your Emotions
Thoughts become things. Our brains don’t know the difference of whether an event actually happened or if we only imagined it. The physiological reaction is exactly the same.
If you don’t learn how to navigate, mitigate, & work on your emotional fitness – you’re fighting a losing battle regardless of whether you have the perfect diet or not.
2. Calories & food matter. Eat in a MILD calorie deficit while maximizing nutrients.
Cut the fake diet food. EAT YOUR MEAT. The better quality the food, the easier it is to stay satiated & nourished with minimal digestive distress. You’ll also have less sweet cravings, more stable energy, & mental clarity sticking with meat & healthy fats vs carb centric meals.
3. Walk!
It lowers cortisol, helps manage stress, burns calories, reduces hunger & cravings, aids in digestion & mental clarity/happiness.
4. Sleep!
Even if exercise & diet are perfect, without quality sleep, it is extremely difficult to function at your best & lose body fat. Sufficient sleep means less hunger, cravings, balanced hormones, & a better mood. Not to mention you’re more likely NOT to eat like an a*hole when you’re rested.
5. Lift weights!
Y’all you have to build the body first. Under eating paired with chronic stress & excess cardio will lead you to what we call skinny fat.
When it comes to losing fat, “emotional fitness” will always be your 1st priory, followed by sleep, movement, & eating in a way that HELPS not hinder fat loss.
