The Anti-Stress-Flat ABS Solution

24 hours to a calmer, leaner you!

STRESS is the #1 cause for weight gain.  When we are under stress we tend to eat what we want when we want, eat even when we are not hungry and that's the best way to gain weight.  

Stress eaters are also emotional eaters and they consume twice as many sweet and high fat foods as the non-emotional eaters.  One of the most important things to keep in mind when trying to reduce stress and stress eating is that FOOD IS NOT THE SOLUTION IT IS THE PROBLEM!  When we eat under stressful conditions it impairs our digestion and almost always causes what we eat to be stored as fat!

The good news is that stress can BE GOOD for weight loss! 

Most people think that stress causes fat to store around our stomachs and make us gain weight BUT... In fact the opposite is true!  When we are under stress our bodies secrete a hormone called cortisol and cortisol is actually a very effective fat burning agent provided you aren't eating sugar!

Here are FIVE things you can do to STOP sugar cravings and decrease your stress!

1.  JUST BREATHE!  When we are stressed, we tend to hold our breath and that causes the fat storing hormones to rise and our stomachs to distend out and we want them flat!

Practice 4-7-8 breathing. Breathe in for 4 seconds. Hold for 7 seconds and breathe out for 8 seconds trying to slow down your breathing until you feel regulated and calm.


2. Still stressed? Regulate w/Oxytocin.  I suggest 6 drops of Oxytocin under your tongue twice a day until you feel calm & relaxed for 2 weeks straight. Reducing your stress is the best thing you can do to fight aging!   Need Oxytocin?  


3. Whittle your waist with WHEY!  Whey protein boosts our metabolism 25% and blocks cravings while keeping us feeling fuller longer.  Don’t want a cold shake?  Make Hot Chocolate. Need to crunch? Sprinkle it over popcorn! A little goes a long whey! LOL

 *Look for a high quality Whey that has 25 grams of protein, no sugar and no fat.  Be on the lookout for Whey shakes blended with inferior ingredients, they won’t work. HIGH QUALITY COUNTS when it comes to whey! Best source? LynFIT'S Complete protein!


4. Steer Clear of over strenuous workouts they are fattening!  Workouts that decrease stress also help you lose MORE weight!  Strenuous workouts ramp up cravings and our appetites and that’s never good for weight loss!  Look for weight loss specific workouts. They should be weight lifting workouts that are 30-40 minutes in length (NOT LONGER) and they work the entire body in each session without resting! Need help? See LynFIT’s metabolic workout DVD!


5. Still stuck? This is where the right STACK of supplements can change everything.  Supplementing can work miracles IF done correctly.  Taking supplements that are a combination of fat burning agents always works better than taking single supplements because they are combined in the prefect combination and they will attack fat from every angle possible and are the most economical way to take supplements.

3 Ways to Cut Calories Without Being Hungry

We all know that the trick to losing weight is to eat less. But how – especially when you feel like you are starving?

One of the most important things I can teach you is that 98 percent of the hunger we feel is HEAD hunger, not REAL hunger. That usually means we are stressed, and most of us over eat when we are stressed and anxious. The solution here is not to eat when you feel that way because we will almost always over eat on the wrong things.

Did you know: Eating when you’re stressed in the number-one cause of fat storage around your waist. When we are stressed, our cortisol rises and that makes fat run to your stomach to be stored!

Freeze and do an assessment of what you’re really feeling. Most times it’s not about food but about being tired and anxious. Food doesn’t fix those things; it becomes the problem.

This is one of the top reasons we are overweight in the US. We are over-stressed and we all think we can fix this with a magic pill or food, but the truth is it’s all in our head! Here are three things you can do to help you eat less and lose more weight. The best part is, it’s guaranteed to work and all you have to do is do it!

Step 1
Stop and take 3-5 deep breaths and ask yourself how you feel. No matter what you’re feeling, it will pass if you can wait 3-5 minutes before reaching for food. Take as many deep breaths as you need to get back to a more balanced place. Deep breathing is also one of the best ways to lower your cortisol levels and slim your waistline! Do not eat until you feel in control. Don’t worry – you won’t starve!

Step 2
Grab a glass of water; if that doesn’t work, make it two! Hot water or hot tea works wonders to fill you up and is very soothing to calm your nerves. Try water with bubbles like Perrier to fill up your belly with air. Did you know: Being dehydrated slows your metabolism 3-5% and mimics hunger.

Step 3
Studies show that taking a supplement like white kidney bean extract or drinking a protein shake one hour before your meal makes you feel full, and you end up eating 25 percent less. LynFit Nutrition supplements are layered with high quality ingredients that keep you feeling full, and block fat and carbs from being absorbed; such supplements also include B complex vitamins to help ease stress and anxiety that cause these cravings to begin with.
