Here are 2 Rules to ditch the muffin top pronto and trust me, if you follow these 2 simple rules you will be able to see a transformation in your body:
1. Ditch white bread, doughnuts, cakes, cookies, and anything with refined sugar! Hey, now I love sweets as much as the next girl. You don't have to necessarily forsake the goodies for the rest of your life. But definitely do not indulge in them anymore! Have a small ice cream cone once a month to satisfy your sweet tooth. Refined sugars have been linked to belly jelly in recent studies. Furthermore, huge consumption of refined sugar initiates health problems. One biggie is diabetes. For the better good of your body, no more indulging in sweets! Or least until the muffin top of yours has gone down.
2. Work out. Losing fat and weight requires expending more calories than you consume. Cardio is great for really blasting fat. But, hours of cardio will be fruitless if you do not incorporate a strength training routine into your workouts. Conditioning your muscles through strength and resistance training enables your body to burn more calories for longer periods of time. In other words, your body will still be burning calories hours after lifting weights as your muscles repair and recover from the workout.
Weight loss is really that simple: eat right for your body and exercise; in the ratio of 80:20. You can have a great exercise routine, but if you fill your body with crap, you will forever have that muffin top. If you are confused about what to feed your body, give me a call in about 2 weeks and I will be a certified Specialist in Fitness Nutrition; if you need help to get your butt motivated to get off the couch, give me a call and I can kick that muffin top off.
Until next time,
