Tip #1 'Go Against the Grain'

My top tip for getting trim is to cut out all grains and gluten (rice, bread, pasta, potatoes, etc). Firstly let me explain there is no such thing as an ‘ESSENTIAL’ carbohydrate, and unless you are in the 25% of the population who are genetically tolerant to carbohydrates or you are already 8% body fat then these foods are sabotaging your fat loss efforts. The problem is the affect that these carbohydrates have on insulin and how this affects your ability to burn fat, the leaner you are the more sensitive you become to insulin meaning your body needs to produce lower amounts when carbohydrates are present. When you are not lean and not sensitive to insulin the body has to produce higher amounts of insulin when carbohydrates are present, and it is these higher amounts of insulin levels that bring your fat burning processes to a halt. With this tip alone you will lose visceral (abdominal) fat and reduce your love handles buy 50-75% and I guarantee if followed properly you will lose at least 2 inches of your waist within the first week.  *Check out how ‘Cheats’ can still prosper!

Here is how you can still socialise and get lean!

*When cutting out grains it is important to have a ‘Cheat meal’, if scheduled properly this will help to keep your leptin levels up and this hormone controls your appetite and keeps your body’s fat burning furnace firing.  You can do a 4:1, so on the 5th day of cutting out grains at your evening meal you can eat all the carbohydrates you want. There are NO restrictions. If you want to include alcohol then you must do a 6:1, so on your 7th day again in the evening you can consume as much alcohol as you wish.

Life is for living, live it lean!
