So is there hope? Of course there is!

All it takes is just 25 simple, super-easy, RESEARCH-BASED steps so that


you can finally easily slip on a pair of sexy jeans and banish that muffin top.

THE 25-POINT MEGA-EASY PLAN TO


SHRINK YOUR BELLY… FAST!
1. NEW MINDSET: ONE SMALL GOAL AT A TIME.

What makes ANY task seem impossible is when it’s viewed as a gigantic
mission. So let’s not look at trimming belly fat as a huge mountain to
overcome. Instead think of it this way: you’re simply going over the steps
in this guide one by one.

One step or point accomplished is a victory unto itself.

Well, look at that, you’ve just finished step 1!

2. REMOVE FOOD TEMPTATION.

You want to make losing belly fat easy, not hard. To do this, try to
remove as much food temptation as you can in your immediate
surroundings. 1 If you want to make a ‘clean sweep’ of your cupboards,
pantry and refrigerator, great! If you don’t have time to clear everything
out now, then don’t; because this will just be an excuse for you to delay
things and I want you to start. NOW.

So take a quick look. What’s immediately facing you when you open your
refrigerator, cupboards or pantry? If they’re not healthy, toss them out or
at the very least put them AT THE VERY BACK so that they’ll be harder to
see… and reach.

What to throw (or donate):


Chips, cookies, sugary oatmeal (mostly the ‘instant’ kind), soda,
processed meats (cold cuts), condiments (mayo, ketchup, bbq sauce,
etc.), bottled salad dressing.

What to put at the front and within easy reach:


Fruits, vegetables, brown bread, nuts.

3. TAKE A SELFIE.

Take a full-body picture of yourself today. Why? It will motivate you to


keep moving forward.

The fact that you’re reading this guide means you want a change, right?
Well, taking a picture of yourself now means this is it. This is Day 1. This
is the starting line. This is your BEFORE shot. And yes, this picture will
motivate you to go on and reach that AFTER pic .

4. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE, LIKE-MINDED AND


HEALTH-FOCUSED PEOPLE.

You don’t need naysayers. You don’t want people around you who don’t
support you – or worse – people who secretly (sort of, kind of) sabotage
your healthy and sexy goals. So just stay clear of these people. You don’t
need to announce or tell them what you’re doing.

SIMPLY DO WHAT YOU WANT… FOR YOURSELF!

5. EAT “MORE” DURING BREAKFAST.

Yes, that’s right; EAT MORE. However, this time EAT RIGHT. No more
leftover pizzas, Chinese take-outs, and donuts. Instead, eat REAL FOOD. 2
Ensure you get some protein in there since that will curb hunger the rest
of the day.

Flat belly breakfast ideas: 1-egg breakfasts, yogurt+berries,


steel-cut oatmeal 3, veg+fruit smoothie.

weight and be fit… click here.

6. DON’T DRINK YOUR CALORIES.

A lot of people have lost a lot of weight by simply making this one
change: they stopped drinking cola. So do just that.

If going cold-turkey on soda is too much to ask then slowly wean yourself
off it instead. For example, if you drink 5 cans of soda per day, then drink
only 4 cans tomorrow. Two days later drop that to 3 cans and so on.

Keep in mind that there are other liquid culprits out there too. For
example, a typical caramel frappucino can have nearly 450 calories!!!
That’s a serving of spaghetti bolognese already.

So, determine your ‘liquid calorie culprit’ and wean yourself off it.

Substitutes? Plain or flavored-water (flavored by fruits and herbs, NOT


sugar) and green tea are the best for a flat tummy.

7. EAT AT THE DINING TABLE. 4


When you eat at the dining table you’re more mindful of what you’re
putting into your mouth. In contrast, eating in front of the TV makes you
less aware of just how much you’re eating so you tend to eat more… A
LOT MORE.

8. EAT SLOWLY.
CHEW! Breaking down food more
thoroughly does not only help
your body absorb more nutrients
and energy at a faster rate, it also
means less excess bacteria
remaining in your intestines.
Excess bacteria in the gut = belly
bloat, and we don’t want that!

9. BRING LUNCH TO WORK. 5

I’m very happy  that here in The Netherlands (where I live!) bringing
lunch to work is the norm. (We don’t bring brown bags though; we use
lunch boxes just like our kids.) So as we prep our kids’ lunch in the
morning, we prep ours at the same time too.

Bringing lunch to work will not only save you money, it will save you A
LOT of calories too.

However, DON’T eat at your desk. Studies show that ‘desk


dining’ results in mindless eating and as such, you’ll always
tend to chew less and eat more.

10. ADD SOMETHING GREEN TO EVERY MEAL.

Up your veggie intake; why? They are low in calories, yet high in fiber.
This means you’ll feel fuller longer. Further, you get TONS more nutrients
from vegetables than sugar-laden food. So not only do you LOSE
WEIGHT, you also PREVENT SICKNESS when you consume more
vegetables.

Most people don’t get around to eating vegetables because of


the ‘prep’ required. So, buy pre-cut salads instead. When
having a meal, simply grab a handful (or two!) of pre-cut
produce and put it on your plate. Extra bonus: you get veg
variety w/o having to buy a ton of vegetables to cut and prep!

11. JUICE UP… THE SMART WAY.

Juicing has been getting a bad rep lately as many say that it’s nothing
but a liquid calorie culprit too. However, that’s only true if you juice up
nothing but fruits. So aim for an 80/20 mix, with of course 80% being
vegetables. At the very least, aim for a 50/50 mix.

Juicing ideas:
- small pc. of ginger, 2 carrots, 1 orange
- handful spinach, ½ small cucumber, some frozen pineapple
- small pc. of ginger, red beet, 1 small apple

12. SNACK SMARTER.

Trimming your belly is not about deprivation. It’s about knowing how to
eat better. So by all means… take a snack; but not the sugary, buttery,
bad carbs kind.

Great snack ideas: a handful of almonds, toasted whole-


wheat bread with nut butter, Greek yogurt topped with fruits,
non-flavored popcorn, banana with almond butter, baked
vegetable chips, a hard-boiled egg, veggies dipped in
hummus.

13. MIND THE SALT.


Salt = water retention.
Water retention = belly bloating.
‘Nuff said.

14. TAKE A SHORT WALK AFTER A MEAL.

Walking is a highly UNDER-rated activity and studies have shown that


walking immediately after a meal can be extremely beneficial for weight
loss. 6 Research results vary but some studies indicate that walking even
just 10 minutes after a meal can already be extremely helpful with the
battle against the belly bulge.

15. GROCERY SHOP AFTER LUNCH.

If you grocery shop when you’re hungry, chances are, nearly everything
that’s not good for you… looks darn yummy! 7 In contrast, by creating a
detailed grocery list AND shopping after a meal, the bigger the chances
that you’ll stick to your list AND buy healthy stuff.

16. AVOID CONSUMING PROCESSED ANYTHING.

Processed foods pretty much account for around 75% of the sodium we
consume. 8 I mentioned above that a high salt intake leads to bloating so if
you want to curb your sodium intake you should really avoid anything
that’s processed. This includes cold cuts, canned meats, and pretty much
any ‘meal’ that comes out of a box or can.

17. SWAP THIS FOR THAT.

Another small change you can make


today to blast belly fat is to make a
few smart swaps.

Here’s a swap idea I posted at my


Instagram page @befinallyfit

Other swap ideas you can adapt quickly:


- Regular frying oil -> coconut oil
- Mayo -> mashed avocado
- Mashed potatoes ->mashed cauliflower
- Deep-frying -> baking/grilling
- White potatoes -> sweet potatoes

18. SIT DOWN. STAND UP!

Sitting is the new smoking 9. Further, prolonged sitting is BAD for your
posture. Just think about it. All that sitting makes fat even more
concentrated on your belly region! In contrast, standing improves
posture, promotes flexibility, improves mental health AND burns more
calories.

Get standing ideas.


 Make it a rule to stand up during TV commercials.
 Desk job? Download an app that reminds you to stand up every
hour.

 Take ‘walking breaks’.


 Stand each time you’re on the phone (that includes each time you
get on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.)

19. PLAN YOUR MEALS

Planning for healthy meals results in healthy bodies. 10 There is a


misconception that meal planning (and prepping) takes an enormous
amount of time and effort. I, on the other hand, don’t think of it as
‘spending a lot of time’, I think of it as ‘getting rid of stress’.

Yes, I want to get rid of the stress involved in trying to figure out what
to eat EVERY MEAL TIME for myself and my family.

This is what I do.

On a weekend night – I end up doing this mostly on Sunday nights –


after I’ve put the kids to bed, I grab a notebook and pen and start meal
planning for the coming Monday-Friday. I plan for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Since I have two kids who go to elementary school, it’s really
important for me to plan our meals so that I don’t go around like a
headless chicken during the week and start grabbing unhealthy stuff.

This routine will help you save time during the week and money
whenever you do grocery shopping.

PLUS, since you’re pre-planning healthy meals, you’ll drop the pounds
and shred that belly fat sooner than you think!

Need help with meal planning? Our BeFinallyFit (BFF)


program has 12-weeks of meal plans for you! We have meal
plans for every calorie set (1200, 1300, 1400, etc.), and each
set has been especially created by a certified dietician!

20. DE-STRESS = DE-FLAB!

Research has shown that if you stress out a lot, fat goes directly to your
belly.11 Belly fat has 4x more cortisol receptors (stress-hormone
magnets) than subcutaneous fat (the fat found just under the skin). As
such, when you’re stressed, fat is more likely to go straight to your belly
than anywhere else in your body.

De-stress by learning deep breathing techniques, taking yoga


and/or meditation classes, going offline, or simply taking a
quick walk whenever you feel stressed.

21. GET ENOUGH Zzzzzz’s

Get enough sleep and you can stop increasing the circumference of your
midsection. 12 Studies have shown that people who don’t sleep enough
tend to have a slow metabolism AND are inclined to eat more during the
day. That’s a double belly fat whammy right there!

So what is ‘enough’? You should get 7 to 8 hour of sleep each night.

How?
- Don’t consume coffee or alcohol at least 3 hours before
bedtime.
- Eat a light dinner.
- Establish a sleep routine.
- Make your bedroom a calm and relaxing haven.
- Lights out! Don’t watch TV or grab your tablet or mobile
phone to go online just before you sleep.

23. FIND A FITNESS BUDDY.

A workout buddy truly helps shed the flab! For sure, getting fit with
someone can be highly motivating since it helps you ‘stick to the plan’.
(No one wants to be labeled a quitter!)

But what really makes this tip work is the fact that having a workout
buddy brings out the competitor in all of us.

I’m not talking about full-on combat mode here. Just…

She wants to jog? Hell, you too!


She wants to swim? You haven’t swam in ages but yeah, you too!
She wants to work up to a first 5K? BRING.IT.ON.

It’s that extra oomph that will make you drop belly fat faster 

If you can’t find a fitness buddy now, no sweat because a virtual


workout buddy can work too! 13

READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL?

24. GET INTO CARDIO.

Studies have shown that aerobic activities (cardio) can be highly


effective in losing belly fat.14

Whether it’s HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), LISS (Low Intensity
Steady State), Tabatha, plyometric, or any other type of aerobic
routine, cardio is the way to go if you want to trim belly fat fast… and
keep it off.

25. START STRENGTH TRAINING.

Although cardio gets belly fat melting, you want to build metabolism-
boosting muscle to boost your fitness game to the next level. For this,
the best way to go is to engage in strength training. You’ll find that not
only will you totally RESHAPE YOUR BODY with weight training but that
you’ll achieve your best – and healthiest – body yet!
