Feeling fat? Clothes getting snug around the belly? Tummy looking a little, well, flabby? Yes, belly fat is a problem! Or maybe you have belly fat on the brain because you care about your health? Because in addition to your lean, svelte figure, your overall well being (especially heart health) can be put in jeopardy by belly fat and the culprits that lead to it.
Stop the Over-Carbing and Insulin and Lose the Belly Fat Using Natural Protein
One of the leading culprits behind belly fat is insulin released into your body because of a blood sugar rush caused by over-carbing. The other culprits include genetic predisposition, age, menopausal hormones, and pregnancy hormones. What about drinking too much beer or eating too much junk food? Yes, these are bad guy culprits because they cause over-carbing! Luckily, nutrition is on your side because if you eliminate the poor eating habits that lead to over-carbing and excess insulin, you can lessen or even stop the effects of the other belly fat culprits and get rid of that tubular tummy.
Here are the basics:
- The carbs. You need glucose from carbs to fuel your body and brain. But if you eat processed carbs or too many carbs or don't eat natural protein and fats with our carbs, your blood sugar spikes.
- The insulin. When blood sugar spikes, the body releases insulin to get rid of the glucose.
- The results. Excess insulin makes your blood sugar drop and you're suddenly starving. This results in hunger and cravings, mental fog, low energy, sluggishness, moodiness, and stress. Everything becomes secondary to food, making you want to pig out.
- The bottom line. You need to keep blood sugar stable to keep excess insulin out of your blood.
How to Burn the Belly Fat with an All-Natural Protein Powder Plan
There's no quick belly fat fix. Fad diets, especially low carb diets, just make it worse. And exercising your abs won't reduce fat because the exercises just build muscle. The best thing to do is to keep your metabolism fast and your blood sugar stable so you can beat belly fat for the long haul. Here's how:
1. Eat the right amount of lean protein, unprocessed "good" carbs and healthy fats at every meal to keep blood sugar stable. Use the "Fist, Thumb, Fist" trick at every meal to get rid of belly fat: eat a fist-sized portion of lean protein (like natural protein powder), a thumb-size portion of healthy fats (like omega oil), and a fist-size portion of good carbs (like fresh fruit or green drinks). The good carbs fuel your body with glucose and the natural protein and fats make sure the glucose is time-released into your bloodstream.
Here's why you want stable blood sugar:
- Fat burning rather than storing
- A well-fed brain so you can think quickly and clearly
- More stable emotions
- More energy
- An immune system boost
- No more sugar and carb cravings and therefore no need to compulsively overeat
2. Start with a natural protein powder shake for breakfast every day. A pure protein powder shake is an easy way to satisfy the perfect "Fist, Thumb, Fist" ratio and speed up your metabolism right off the bat.
Here's our favorite recipe. You can mix it up with different flavors of powder and with various fresh fruits.
The LEANegizer:
Add the following ingredients to a blender and mix to desired smoothness:
Healthy Liquid - 16 oz pure water, skim milk or almond milk
Lean Protein - 2-3 scoops vanilla natural protein powder
Healthy Fats - 1/4 cup raw almonds
Unprocessed Carbs - 1 tablespoon green drink powder; 1/2 - 1 chopped green apple

Remember the Good News: Almost all people will lose belly fat before other fat. This is because the fat tucked in your tummy is more metabolically active than the fat that's right under your skin. So start with these two action items and enjoy the results.
