While you can’t control your age, the good news is, you can slow the aging process and decrease belly fat with smart lifestyle choices.
Belly fat is linked to an increased risk of many diseases. “How do I lose the belly fat?” is one of the most common post pandemic questions I hear.
Let’s talk about some of the common mistakes I see in lifestyle choices & how to fix it so that you can increase performance, lose weight & live longer.
About 2 out of every 5 people are trying to shed pounds. If you’re a chronic dieter it’s likely that you’ve used food to feel better and have lost and gained the same weight over and over again but the good news is it doesn’t have to be that way!
I know this because I’ve been there myself on the yo-yo diet bandwagon because my eating and drinking habits were sabotaging my hard work in the gym, but today I no longer struggle and I learned how to retrain my mind to eat like a naturally thin person and I want that for you too.
With at least half of us on a diet and the diet industry being a 78 billion dollar industry… here’s the thing diets don’t work.
95% of them will fail, 97 percent of dieters regain everything they lost and then some within three years, while slowing down your metabolism.
If you’re addicted to food it’s harder to overcome than any other addictions, because you can completely eliminate cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs from your life but you can’t eliminate food.
If you find yourself unconsciously reaching for food, when you feel stressed, angry, or sad you need to get to the root of why you are numbing out with food in order to stop yo-yo dieting, If you don’t have the right system for weight loss, you will have to work ten times harder.
Here are three steps to help you lose the weight and keep it off!
Step one is you need to think through exactly why you’re trying to lose weight — this will help you focus on your goal throughout your journey.
Before you get started focus on this:
Why do you want to lose weight?
Next, check your mindset. Are you prepared to have the mental toughness required to do what it takes? A bulletproof mindset is required.
After that, you need to check your limiting beliefs. If you’re telling yourself you deserve a treat ask yourself what is the payoff?
Here are just a few of the excuses I’ve heard:
It’s my genetics
I always gain weight over the holidays
I’m always going to be overweight because I love food
If I paid for it I have to eat it
I’m a chocoholic
Everything I eat turns to fat
I’ve been fat my whole life
I’m just not built thin?
The next step is you have to check your values: can you set your mind on something and give it full focus?
In order to do this, you’ll need first get to a really compelling reason why you want to lose weight and be healthy this real driving purpose will keep you going on the days you really don’t feel like it.
Step two, there are studies of people that lost over thirty pounds and kept it off found that they had these things in common, they exercise daily. They weighed themselves regularly, drank water, and watched less than 10 hours of TV a week.
Step three is you then need to learn the weight mastery techniques to train your mind to eat like a naturally thin person so that you can enjoy food without the struggle.
Here’s how to get started:
Before you eat first ask yourself…
1. Am I hungry
2. If not? why am I eating this food
3. Am I eating because I’m hungry, sad or stressed?
4. Dig a bit deeper to identify if you’re hungry or just want to numb out from something that’s bothering you?
We need to get to the bottom of why you eat when you’re not hungry.
Ask yourself these hard questions. If you’re eating from stress and not from hunger you might be able to track this back to your childhood.
You can’t substitute food for love. If you had emotionally or physically abusive parents, you need to realize that food is not love, a celebration, or a reward. You might even be subconsciously using extra weight as armor to protect yourself.
When you learn to gain mastery over food addictions and learn to eat and think like a naturally thin person you will learn how to only eat food to nourish your body.
When you learn to train your mind to eat when you’re hungry you’ll realize that nothing tastes as good as being fit feels.
To transcend this programming you won’t be able to white knuckle this with willpower
First, you must acknowledge the truth that eating too much is how you got here and next you need to love yourself the way you are.
You also need to be on the lookout for saboteurs like food pushers
Get support and start to train your mind to hear when your old limiting beliefs come up and this will help you to achieve weight mastery.
Accountability and support will help you strengthen your commitment and resolve and make sure it’s somebody that will be truthful with you and not take any of your excuses.
And finally, be patient with yourself. You won’t be able to lose 50 pounds and master a lifetime of dieting in one week, but if you try to improve 1% a day you’ll be well on your way to eating like a weight-mastered person and end the yo-yo dieting for good.

According to the studies, two-thirds of the weight you gain annually is during the holidays. In other words, the way that you gain isn’t spread out throughout the year, but rather it’s during the holidays when you tend to gain the most weight.
How was your Thanksgiving?
Are you fully recovered from your turkey coma?
The good news is that you are here and holiday weight gain doesn’t have to be your story!
Let’s jump in with the big reveal of the top 5 secrets to losing holiday weight.
Tip #1 Don’t wait around for that holiday weight to become permanent.
Get started now your body hasn’t gotten used to that extra weight yet, what’s one step you can take today? Let me know in the comments, if you lose it now it’s easier than waiting for New Year or when you feel ready because you’re never going to feel ready, some of the weight you gained might be water and bloating so it’s best to get after it right away. Don’t wait for New Year to google how to do a cleanse.
Tip #2 Increase Hydration
If you drink a lot of water, you won’t feel as hungry. Also, water is very important for your metabolism, which is important for weight loss.” A study found that drinking just 17 ounces of water increases your metabolic rate by 30%. After the holidays, you’re so ready to be drastic, but instead of trying to drop ten pounds in a week take small steps, it’ll lead to consistency and being able to hit your goals.
Successful people like you know to play for the marathon, not the sprint. Of the weight gain that we put on throughout the holiday season—some of it is bloat because it takes a lot of calories to put on fat. So, if you stay hydrated, you can easily flush some of the extra sodium and bloat from your body, start with Increasing your water intake to flush out the extra bloat and calories.
Tip #3 You can’t just resume your regular eating routine and assume you’ll be fine
Because you never worked off the excess, so now is the time to eat fewer calories not your usual amount of food and alcohol!
It’s not business as usual!
Tip #4 Hit it hard and fast
Fasting is the best way to burn up the extra stuff you’ve been eating over the holidays. Periods of not eating are the fastest way to burn stored fat & lose holiday weight try intermittent fasting & during your fast you can burn off some of those extra calories that you consumed during the holidays. When you don’t eat for 16 hours or more at least 8 hours of that you should be sleeping, by the next day you’ll start to bounce back just start the day with black coffee and water before 12 noon.
Tip #5 Don’t Forget Strength Training
Many of you neglect resistance exercise. Weight training is crucial to prevent muscle and bone loss that occurs with age. More muscle mass also elevates your metabolism helping you lose weight, maintain joint flexibility, and improve endurance.
If you’ve tried every short-term fix, you know that long-term consistency trumps short-term sprints.

According to science, unlike the good proteins that you eat, this fat-storing protein attaches to your fat cells and blocks your body’s ability to release fat & burn it for energy.
Unfortunately, the more overweight you are, the more likely it is that you’ll be carrying higher levels of this protein called sLR11. This may be hindering your fat burning and can even make you GAIN weight.
I help busy CEOs, executives & founders 10X their fat loss, productivity & energy. In this episode, you’ll know my three tips to fat loss. This will help you assassinate fat, age better, and have more energy.
Today’s topic is 3 science-backed hacks to help you release this fat-storing protein from your body.
These tips can help fire up your metabolism and tell your body to release fat and burn it for energy… instead of storing it.
Tip #1 — Taking an icy cold bath
I have been doing cryotherapy lately at the cryo zone in Santa Monica. And in three minutes you will feel more energized and burn fat while turning back the hands of time!
Or if that’s not your thing, take cold showers. Try 20 seconds on and off till you build up your cold shower time!
Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried this strategy, or if you plan on giving it a try?
Tip #2 — Intermittent fasting for at least 16 hours
Intermittent Fasting (IF) stimulates fat loss and stem cell growth. I helped my client Isaac lose 26 pounds of fat in just 6 weeks with my VIP Boss Body Fat Loss System that includes Intermittent Fasting done properly.
Tip #3 — Follow Superfoods strategies that will help you decrease belly fat
The first superfood is Cinnamon. I put this in my coffee daily, you can add cinnamon daily to your shakes, oatmeal, healthy baking and yogurt. Cinnamon decreases glucose levels in the blood, so you can burn fat better.
The second superfood is Fish. Especially salmon, with its high level of omega-3 fatty acids to help activate fat burning. Try eating fish at least a few times a week. Protein builds muscle. More muscle = more fat burning. And fish is one of the healthiest sources of lean protein!
The third and fourth superfoods are meat & cruciferous veggies like broccoli. Meat contains Carnitine, which transports fat to muscle cells converting it into energy. You should eat lean meats a few times weekly. Lean proteins and cruciferous vegetables are more thermogenic than other types of foods meaning your body burns more calories just by digesting them.
The fifth superfood strategy is to Bring the Heat! Eating spicy foods influences your body heat, & the antioxidants in spices push toxins out of your system firing up your metabolism. Scientists present a solid case for how bringing the heat can help you beat the bulge. Who else likes spicy food?
The sixth superfood strategy is drinking more water. One of the most under-appreciated magic fat-burning elixirs is water. All these nutrition tips won’t make a difference if you don’t drink a lot of water. I recommended you drink a minimum of 1/2 of your body weight in ounces of water a day. I have my clients do this before their first meal of the day to stay fully hydrated and energized. This will help you lose weight and decrease the excess body fat.

When it comes to your body, YOU get to choose to be in charge!
Mastery over the body is difficult these days but not impossible. The word itself implies I’m possible.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
To gain mastery over your body and lose weight, you’ve got to do things differently.
It all starts with harnessing the power of your mind, and you’ll be able to achieve remarkable results.
“The will must be stronger than the skill.” — Muhamed Ali
When you master the will, your weight loss goals will finally be within your grasp.
Imagine how great that will feel!
It builds confidence, self-esteem & discipline. That’s what’s possible for you!
I’m going to give you the 3 Keys to Losing the Last 10 Pounds and Melting the Belly Fat Without Spending Hours in the Gym.
I’m here because I used to struggle with eating too much on the weekends and find myself starting over every Monday. That was frustrating! I think I could eat anything because I worked out. And then I realized it wasn’t working for me, so I had to figure out a sustainable system that works. That’s the inspiration for sharing my secrets with you.
Here are the three keys my clients use, and they’ll work for you too if you take action.
Key #1
Here’s the Real Secret…Mindset Matters. The great news is once you realize that you’re 100 % responsible for your results then you can take charge and change it! Everything in your life is a result of the choices you made. If you want a different result, make a different choice! You get to design your goals, outcomes & action plan.
Here are four high-performance mindset hacks:
FIDO – when you slip up, Forgive It, Drive On!
Do what others won’t today, so you can do what others can’t tomorrow.
Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs.
Write your goals down and read them to yourself 3-4 times every day.
Key #2
My top tip for weight loss & melting the belly fat is meal timing. When you eat matters just as much as what you eat! This is one of my top secrets for weight loss! Imagine, this burn fat — even while you’re sleeping while improving your blood pressure, blood sugar and while raising your human growth hormone levels to age better too!
Key #3
You need to create a calorie deficit. How much you eat and what you eat is the science behind weight loss. You have to cut some calories and clean up your diet—meaning, your diet should be high in protein consisting of lean meats, protein powder, fish, green veggies, healthy fat, and low in carbohydrates.
You will also need to cut back on the empty calories of alcohol, processed foods and sugar!
With this in mind, start with cutting 250 to 500 calories from your diet. When you get the right combination of the right ingredients with the right timing, you’ll beat hunger and burn off belly fat. The best way to stay on track with the math is through tracking, I have my clients track with myfitnesspal. Studies prove that it will increase your weight loss success levels by 30%!
My question to you is…are you ready?
Your fitness goals can finally be within your grasp.
If . . . you have what it takes to be coachable and have the mental strength required…
If you’re a busy executive looking for the fastest path to weight loss & have what it takes to be committed and decisive…

Reaching your fitness goals is not always easy. Nearly everyone has struggled with controlling their weight, dealing with stress, or just sticking with the habits of a healthy lifestyle.
In this video, you will learn the 6 strategies to lose weight fast with a mindset shift. This is what I teach my clients and you can do it too!
Follow these 6 strategies and get ready to transform into your best self!
Research shows that if you get your mind right, results will follow.
Shifting your mindset about weight loss is the biggest factor in losing weight. Once your mind is on board anything is possible!
The saying “what your mind believes your body achieves” is very true.
By making simple changes in how you think about food, you can cultivate a mindset that will help you lose weight.
And at the same time, you also have to put in the work.
Here are the six strategies:
Strategy #1 — You have to Have a goal & Believe in your goal.
It’s important to have a goal & believe in it to make it become your reality. You have to believe that you can change your habits, lose weight, and a better lifestyle is waiting.
It takes a lot of work to change habits and not everyone is willing to put in that kind of effort.
Always keep your goal in mind and believe it to make your dreams a reality.
Strategy #2 — You need to have discipline.
Motivation is hard to sustain but discipline lasts. There are days when I’m not feeling motivated, but I am always disciplined. There are times when I want to have a few more drinks than I should or when I feel like chilling on the couch with a pint of halo top ice cream, but I don’t do that all the time because I’m disciplined about taking care of my body & my health. Instead, I enjoy a few drinks here & there or a scoop of ice cream. I don’t deprive myself, but I try not to overindulge either. That’s the discipline required.
Strategy #3 — Take responsibility.
To succeed at losing weight, you have to take responsibility for your actions. You need to believe that you’re in control. If you don’t accomplish your goals, you can’t blame anyone else. This helps make it happen. Envision it, believe in it, and work for it.
Strategy #4 Learn to cope.
Many of us have been emotionally eating since the pandemic started. I know I have felt all of this uncertainty and it’s hard but not impossible to shift the cravings for sugar, carbs or pizza if you had a bad day.
Preparation is key here so you don’t just grab fast food because nothing was prepared for dinner. Most of all don’t give up on losing weight all together when work is busy, or some other stressful situation happens.
Strategy #5 is Coping Skills.
Here’s the thing…when you decide to lose weight, stress doesn’t disappear. Unfortunately, life is never going to be perfect and stress will always be there. Therefore, if you fall off track every time life doesn’t go your way then it’s time to learn new coping strategies. The goal is to succeed at creating a healthier lifestyle and losing weight despite the challenges life throws our way.
The good news is many of the weight-loss strategies I teach also work to help manage stress.
For example, meal planning and meal prep will help during the week when we are busy with work and activities. Exercise keeps me sane. Drinking protein shakes and eating less processed foods gives me more energy than coffee, but I love my coffee.
I can help you work through the stress and develop healthier coping skills. This will free up space for you to focus on what really matters!

Studies prove having healthy coping skills is essential in losing weight. Like I said, life is unpredictable and won’t always go as planned.
Strategy #6 — Focus on solutions, not excuses.
A mindful strategy that has been very helpful throughout my life & consulting is focusing on solutions instead of excuses.
We use excuses because we’re afraid to fail. So instead of failing at an exercise routine, we say something like “I can’t get to the gym at that time” or “I’m sick” or “Those exercises never worked for me”. But failure is part of the process. It’s okay to fail. So instead of giving yourself permission to give up, give yourself permission to fail. In order to succeed, you have to be okay with failure. Remember fall 9 times get up 10!
Own your excuses. Is it that you really can’t do “workout & eat healthier”, or is it more you don’t feel like doing “it”.
If you don’t feel like exercising, eating healthy, etc.—own it. Say something like “I know I should exercise this morning but I don’t feel like it or “eating healthy is just not a priority right now”.
It’s important to be real—you can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. Holding myself accountable for my excuses definitely helps me cope.
Sometimes you just aren’t ready for change. We aren’t ready to change our eating habits, prioritize exercise, and make the time to plan meals. So instead of stepping outside our comfort zone, we start making excuses.
The takeaway is this—if it’s important then you make it a priority, if it’s not then you make an excuse.
Focus on solutions instead of excuses and you can turn this around.
You have to have a clear goal, believe in it, prioritize and add strategies like coping better, meal prepping and working out. You got this!

“I’m doing everything right, but I’m still not losing weight. What’s going on?”
As a consultant, I have seen this many times. And it almost always comes down to one of the following five reasons.
In this video, I revealed the 5 Mistakes You Might Be Making When Wanting To Lose Weight. These five reasons can definitely hinder your weight loss progress, but if you are aware of them, you can avoid them and will improve your chances of success.
Watch the full video below:
We all know we need to exercise more and eat less to lose weight. But if you’re doing that already why is it difficult to lose weight?
Mistake #1: You’re waiting for the right time and you’re putting off your health goals.
There’s never a right time. You’re never going to feel ready and you need to do it anyway! Especially if you don’t feel like it these days. Don’t wait for some magical moment when you feel ready like New Year’s Eve or a summer trip. Motivation doesn’t show up every day but commitment and consistency are what’s required. Write this down! Decide what you want and take action now.
Mistake #2: Eating too much and too frequently.
The recommendation to eat breakfast every morning is outdated Same with the advice to eat every few hours to keep your metabolism going. This will lead to eating way too many calories.
In fact, studies show blood sugar levels and hunger decreased while the metabolic rate increased in those who consumed 3 versus many meals daily!
Studies also found that when you skip breakfast, you’re eating 400 fewer calories for the day overall, which I recommend.
Leave a comment below if you’ve tried intermittent fasting
Mistake #3: WEEKENDS are your WEAK-end.
This always used to be my biggest weight-loss enemy. It was easier for me to eat clean during the week, work out, and stay focused.
But the weekend is when many of us have a little too much fun. You have more drinks, less working out, or brunch or events.
Has this ever happened to you?
It is amazing how much work can be undone in just two days.
People that lose weight quickly and consistently don’t take the weekends off. Remember consistency is key!
Stay focused through the weekend and you will be fine next Monday one cheat meal is better than a full cheat day! Stay consistent!
Mistake #4: You are trying to do it alone.
All the research shows that the hardest way to lose weight and get in shape is to try and do it alone.
📌 If you are ready to commit to and Live with More Confidence, book your free 30-minute health blueprint call with me to help you jump-start your weight loss. → https://bit.ly/3D22iGA
Mistake #5: Not measuring your progress.
Eating healthier foods is a good weight loss strategy. However, you may still be eating more calories than you need to lose weight.
Also, if you’re not keeping track you may not be getting the right amount of protein and other essential nutrients, to support your weight loss efforts.
Studies prove that tracking activity and what you eat can help you get an accurate picture of your calories consumed vs. expended, as well as provide accountability
Remember, you are the CEO of your health. If you’re trying to lose weight, consistency over time will give you the best results. If you still aren’t making progress it might be time to ask for help.

In order to lose weight, you need to eat less and move more. But our increasing waistlines tell us that it’s not that simple. If you really want to get in shape and stay that way, you need to start at the top—with your brain.
Changing your brain takes some work—but the benefits of retraining your brain to think thin are proven by science!
The good news is that there are some simple steps you can take to be in the right frame of mind to take on the challenges that often show up while on a weight loss and fitness mission.
First, ask yourself, is your mindset keeping you from reaching your weight loss goal?
If you don’t have the mental toughness to stick to your diet and exercise program, you’re never going to be successful in your weight loss endeavor.
Second, look at the patterns and habits in your life that might be getting in the way of your success.
In this video, you’ll learn how to open up your mind to how a new attitude can help you think yourself thin.
Let me know in the comments where you’re tuning in from.
By the end of this video, you will have 7 strategies to start thinking yourself thin.
1. The first strategy is to Picture Yourself Thin
Visualize your future self, six months or a year from now, and think of how good you’ll look and feel in your dream body. Decide today to expect to develop the body of your dreams. Look for pictures in magazines of people with bodies you would like to have and tape them up so you can see them every day. Build this image into your mind and expect it to happen. This will drive you to behave in ways that lead you to your expected result. Imagine how an Olympian would visualize themselves up on the podium and take your goals that seriously!
2. You need to have Realistic Expectations
Set small goals such as eating more fruits and vegetables every day. Getting some kind of physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day. Drinking alcohol only on the weekends. Popcorn instead of chips. Ordering a salad instead of french fries.
3. Get Support
Contact a friend coach or family member and ask them to be on your support team weekly. It’s easy to quit when you’re on your own, but letting down a team of people or a coach who cares about your success is a different story. . Studies prove you do better connected with others than trying to go it alone.
4. Create a Detailed Action Plan each week
You plan your healthy meals and fitness for that week and put it in your calendar. Planning ahead is 80% of the battle. If you’re equipped with a detailed plan, results will follow.
5. Have a Consistent Schedule
Schedule your fitness routine like you would an appointment. Pack up dried fruits, veggies, or meal replacement bars so you won’t be tempted to eat the wrong kinds of foods. You make your health a priority by building these steps into your life, and ultimately these healthy behaviors will become a routine part of your life.
6. Ditch Old Habits
Old habits die hard, but you can’t continue to do things the way you used to if you want to succeed at weight loss. Slowly but surely, try to identify where you are engaging in behaviors that lead to weight gain and turn them around with little steps that you can easily handle without feeling deprived. For example, if you are an evening couch potato, start by changing your snack from a bag of cookies or chips to a piece of fruit. The next night, try having just a calorie-free drink. Eventually, you can start doing exercises while you watch television. Another way to get started ditching your bad habits: Get rid of the tempting, empty-calorie foods in your kitchen and replace them with healthier options.
7. Keep Track of Your Progress
Weigh-in regularly and keep journals detailing what you eat, how much you exercise, your emotions, and your weight and measurements. Studies show that keeping track of this information helps promote positive behaviors and minimize unhealthy ones. Simply knowing that you’re tracking your food intake could help you resist that piece of cake! Journals and apps are a form of accountability. They help reveal which strategies are working. When you are accountable, you are less likely to have to be asleep at the meal.

When you’re stressed, it makes sense that eating well and working out regularly aren’t on top of your to-do list. And naturally, that would make you more likely to gain weight!
Yes, stress alone can make the number on the scale go up. When you’re stressed out, your body wants to defend itself, so it starts to retain body weight. Even if you’re exercising regularly and eating well the way you always have, you can still gain weight because your body is trying to prevent an unseen threat.
Usually with chronic stress you’ll see stress can be associated with losing your job or going through a terrible breakup, not the kind that comes from having a bad day at work.
Stress can skew your perception of things, so it’s possible to think that you’re eating and working out the same but in reality you’re eating more and working out less.
Here are some simple tips to help manage stress and reduce your stress levels:
1. Swap caffeinated and alcoholic drinks for water, herbal teas, or diluted natural fruit juices and aim to keep yourself hydrated as this will enable your body to cope better with stress.
2. When you feel stressed and tense, go for a brisk walk in fresh air. Try to incorporate some physical activity into your daily routine on a regular basis, either before or after work, or at lunchtime. Regular physical activity will also improve the quality of your sleep.
3. You should also aim to go to bed at roughly the same time each day so that your mind and body get used to a predictable bedtime routine.
4. Each day, try to relax with a stress reduction technique. There are many tried and tested ways to reduce stress so try a few and see what works best for you.
5. Talk to someone. Talking can work by either distracting you from your stressful thoughts or releasing some of the built-up tension by discussing it.
Give these a try and see progress yourself!

Sticking to a simple plan can make eating healthy much easier, tasty and inexpensive.
After all, it can help minimize your risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and many other things you would rather steer clear of.
The good thing is, eating right doesn’t have to be that complicated or require you to give up things you love!
It is just about making smarter choices and creating healthy habits.
Here are some tips on how you can eat healthier:
Choose mindfully, even with healthier foods. Ingredients, calories and nutrient content can vary a lot.
Read labels. Compare nutrition information on package labels and select products with the lowest amounts of sodium, added sugars, saturated fat and trans fat, and no partially hydrogenated oils.
Watch your calories. To maintain a healthy weight, eat only as many calories as you use up through physical activity. If you want to lose weight, take in fewer calories or burn more calories.
Eat reasonable portions. Often this is less than you are served, especially when eating out.
Don’t dismiss entire food groups. Eat a wide variety of foods to get all the nutrients your body needs.
Cook and eat at home. You’ll have more control over ingredients and preparation methods.
Look for the Heart-Check mark to easily identify foods that can be part of an overall healthy eating pattern.
