Interesting Belly Blasting Facts…

As many of you know, I started this fitness blog with a specific focus on my belly fat. I have been a lean athlete all of my life and my beautiful kids ruined my perfectly flat belly.

Since then I’ve been providing some of the best information that I’m using that has helped me to lose my belly fat.

I ran across these facts from Jayson Hunter, a registered dietitian for over 10 years and owner of Prograde Nutrition. I am amazed at the wealth of information that I receive in regards to nutrition from him.

Anyway, let’s get to today’s easy lesson. Check this out:

- Increased Protein intake triggers the hormone Glucagon.

- This, in turn, prevents the spiking of your Insulin (which is also a hormone) levels.

- Which simply means you minimize the chance of storing blood sugar as fat.

In other words, eat more protein and you bust your belly flab. Sure, there’s more to it than that, but that is the crux of it. And so long as you understand the basics you can KEEP the belly flab from coming back.

When you only eat carbs your Insulin levels go through the roof. And all that blood sugar (that’s what the carbs turn into after you’ve eaten them) which isn’t needed by your body MUST go somewhere. Yup, it goes to your belly; or your butt; or your hips; or your thighs…

I can actually say that I’ve seen the results of this (I lost 6 inches in my belly fat in 3 months) by eating an omelet every day and adding protein shakes throughout my day. Of course, notice his words “there’s more to it” which are my 15 min / day workouts and a focused nutrition plan.

What is your favorite source of protein? Go BUST that belly fat! What are you waiting for? GOOOO!!!
