8 Rules To Prevent Stubborn Fat



Stubborn Fat


1) Stay away from crash diets. You lose fat and gain it again. Second-generation fat is more stubborn than the first. The more your weight fluctuates, the more stubborn fat you may gain.

2) Avoid foods that you may be sensitive or allergic to. Some people react to certain foods, such as wheat, dairy or soy. If you suspect that may be the case, get yourself checked for food sensitivities.
3) Eat as much organic food as possible, thereby avoiding many estrogenic substances that are in our food supply, such as petroleum- and chemically based fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, and hormones, which are found in nonorganic meats, poultry, dairy and eggs.
4) Drink pure, filtered water. Don’t drink or cook with unfiltered tap water.
5) If food or liquid smells like plastic, stay away from it.
6) Minimize your alcohol consumption. Excessive alcohol may compromise your liver’s ability to break down and detoxify estrogenic derivatives, toxins that penetrate the blood and cause unpleasant symptoms like bloating, water retention and stubborn- fat gain. If those toxins remain unchecked, they may cause chronic diseases and even cancer.
7) Control your insulin. Naturally minimize the amount of carbohydrates you eat by having carbs as the last component of your meal. If needed, use supplements that contain all the essential nutrients necessary for stabilizing your insulin, such as essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
8) Follow a regular exercise routine. Having a comprehensive diet and exercise routine is the first defense against stubborn fat.
