3 “Weird” Tricks to Help Shed Belly Fat

By this point, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that to shed belly fat we need to eat less overall and exercise more.

We also have to increase the quality of our diets … so not just reducing calories, but reducing the crap calories in our diets and ramping up the nutrient dense foods.
But there are also some “weird” little tricks-outside of food and exercise – that will help shed body fat over time.
Trick #1: Chew more.

With the fast, on the go mentality so many of us have these days, we’re often eating on the go, swallowing our food practically whole.

But a study out of Purdue University showed that a subtle difference … chewing almonds 40 vs. 25 vs. 10 times before swallowing, boost fullness.
Of course when you’re more full, you’ll eat less, and this can translate to less belly fat.
Chewing more also released more of the beneficial fats in the almonds.

And we know the power of those healthy fats for keeping the heart strong.

Trick #2: Eat with your non dominant hand.

Sounds SO silly, but go ahead and try.
Pick up your fork with your non dominant hand … I promise you’ll slow down how quickly you eat.
And when you slow down your speed, you eat less.

It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to send fullness – so when you slow down, you give it that time to recognize you’ve actually taken in some calories and not to go overboard.
Trick #3: Brush your teeth immediately after eating.

Not only will others appreciate this, but as you know, food doesn’t taste quite so good with minty breath.
Therefore, the likelihood of turning to dessert when a meal is done or even taking bites of the leftovers while putting them away, is much less.

Again, all these calories add up quickly.

There you have it – 3 super simple “weird” little tricks to effortlessly help shed belly fat.

“What Gets Measured, Gets Managed”

In an ongoing series to motivate everyone to keep their goals at the forefront and continue to take action — here we are again…

I know I’m starting to freak you out….

But it’s March 15th. The 74th day of 2010 … 20% of 2010 is gone forever.

20% of your New Years Resolutions should have already been checked off…

So exactly how are they looking now?

Are you on track with those New Years Resolutions?

Are you on track with your goals?
If you wanted to lose 30lbs this year – are you down twent percent – or 6lbs already?
If your goal was to do 250 workouts – have you completed 50?
If you wanted to make $10,000 more this year — are you on track?
It’s amazing how time passes so quickly. Actually it’s almost scary…

Don’t waste a single second.
If your goal is fat loss – start today
If your goal is muscle building – start today
If your goal is (insert anything here) – start TODAY !
If you’re just a little behind — adjust your plan – make up for it!
20% of this year is gone forever.

I meet a lot of people in my job, and get a lot of questions via email.

I’ll talk to guys who track every single macronutrient that passes their lips, and have tried just about every program out there.

When I ask them how things are going — they’ll tell me that it’s great, or that the program is working well.
But rarely do they quantify anything.

How many pounds of muscle gained?

How much of a strength increase have you seen in real terms?
Very few people actually measure and take stock of their efforts.

If you are following a plan to lose fat – are you actually losing fat?

And I mean at a rate that is acceptable for your efforts?

Or are you blindly following a plan that doesn’t work, and essentially ignoring that?
I know where my progress towards my goals stand because I measure it.
When I was in the hospital for a stem cell transplant – the medical team took measurements of temperature, blood pressure and blood samples every 4 hours.

Even if it meant the middle of the night (really!) – they knew exactly where we were in relation to our goal every 4 hours.
When we implement a marketing campaign at the gym — we track the results.

We know, for example, how many direct mail pieces we send out, the cost of each mailing, how many inquiries we get, how many appointments are made, and how many people join the gym as a result.

We know exactly how effective the plan is, and whether the return we are seeing is worth the investment.
We can see that for $X invested, we receive a return of $Y.

This is important as we have continually grown year after year.
We need to know where our membership stands – how many inquiries, how many new members, renewals etc and when our busiest times are – everything is measured and tracked so we can continue to grow and serve our members.
If you remember “SMART” goal setting — one of the keys is ‘M’ – Measurable.

Measure your results.
As we enter the second half of 2010, it’s time to take stock of your efforts.

Has your current return been worth the investment?
Again — 20% of this year is gone forever.

Will you make changes TODAY or will another three months pass, then another six — and before you know it — it’s 2012…..
Don’t waste a single second.

Start TODAY.
Where will you be at the 30% point – April 20th?

That’s 5 weeks away.

Will you be 5 weeks leaner – down 8, or even 16lbs of fat?
Will your business demonstrate 8 weeks further growth – will you be 8 weeks closer to your goals?
The time will pass anyway….
