10 Tips: Tip 9 Want to reduce Thigh Fat? Are your beauty products full of synthetic chemicals?

894931345Not only have the toxic chemicals (such as parabens) used in most of our beauty products, from things such as moisturiser, soap, shampoo to perfume, been proven to add extra load on your liver for detoxification, they have also been proven to add to your body fat. In fact some have a far reaching effect upon our health and there is very little to no regulation on what chemicals are allowed to be used in these products, so it is very much buyer beware.

Things to look out for in your beauty products are anything ending in ‘paraben’.

How to get HOT – Girls vs Boys. How different are we when it comes to what you know about how to get results?

686538066There seems to be a very long list of what females are brainwashed into thinking it takes to get results vs. what a man thinks, and does to get results.

What I find funny is that us females are often trying very hard to achieve ‘losing fat or getting lean‘ with the below list and the males are simply trying to put on a bit of muscle, and if the girls were to follow some of the info from the boys list they’d SEE RESULTS IN HALF THE TIME!

[su_row][su_column size=”1/2″]

The Girls List… Of what to do to get HOT
  1. Follow a Calories restricted diet – Including fun things like, no alcohol, no fat. no chocolate. See why I disagree..click here.
  2. Perform lots of Cardio exercise to burn more calories than you consume.
  3. Don’t eat Carbohydrates after 5pm. Or follow this diet or that diet. In fact there are different reasons apart from calories as to why you grow fat cells, click here.
  4. Do lots of light weights, high repitition exercises so as not to bulk up… NOT TRUE, I dare you to try and get bulky (its virtually impossible for most. We all need different stimulus to continue producing results. Find out what will work for you here.
  5. Learn to be more disciplined – I don’t believe you need too much discipline if you get the balance of nutrients right for your body… see why here.

The Guys List… Of what to do to get HOT
  1. Eat more Quality Protein and just eat more in general

Lower Body Workout – If you dare

As with every persons body you need to change what you are doing on a regular basis, every 3-6 weeks to keep getting results. Below is an example lower body workout using high repetitions of each exercise. (I do not suggest you use the below program for too long, its very high intensity and so when done for a period of more than 2-3 weeks can have a catabolic effect on the body).

Always remember to never sacrifice form when performing any exercise, especially ones where you are holding yourself up again gravity as your back is at stake. Eg, Squats, Deadlifts, Lunges. So as soon as your form goes (and you know the rules on keeping a neutral spine throughout the movement) then stop the exercise. If you feel pain in any joints (other than fatique in the target muscles) also stop.

Alright enough on safety.. onto stimulating growth hormone and getting you leaner;
Perform 4-6 rounds of the following exercises with minimum break until the full 5 are completed. Choose from 1. Beginner/Intermediate or 2.Advanced circuit.

[su_row][su_column size=”1/2″]

Beginner/Intermediate
  1. 12-15 x Dumbell squats (slow)
  2. 12-15 x Static lunges each leg (feet do not move at all) (slow)
  3. 10-12 x Laying leg curl (slow)
  4. 10-12 x Leg extensions (fast)
  5. 12-15 Heels elevated feet only hip distance apart, Body weight squats (fast)

Rest 2 minutes. Repeat. Have fun 🙂

[/su_column] [su_column size=”1/2″]

Advanced
  1. 12-15 x Barbell Back squats (slow)
  2. 20-24 x Walking Lunges hold Dumbbells (slow)
  3. 12-15 x Laying leg curls (slow)
  4. 15-20 x Leg extension (fast)
  5. 18-20 x Heels elevated feet only hip distance apart, Body weight squats (fast)

Can drinking tap water be making you sick or fat?

785749235Did you know in your tap water you are potentially drinking the following chemicals;

Chlorine – Contributes to Oestrogen fat storing sites, as well as killing your important gut bacteria.

Fluoride – As many arguments against as there are for, do your own research, I avoid it like the plague.

Pesticides/Fertilizers – Pesticides kill bugs by attacking their nervous system, would you like to eat it on conventional foods, or would you prefer to drink the residues in your drinking water because the governing bodies have decided its safe for human consumption.

Copper – Its in possibly in your pipes (see ****Link below for more facts on what’s in your water).

Aluminium – As above.

Yes they all claim to be in the water at such small parts per million (and that makes it safe for human consumption says who???) but did you know the smaller the part, so long as it is present it’s still able to enter our bodies cells and potentially alter the normal chemical reactions and processes which take place.

Click here for some more amazing facts on your Australian Drinking water and how the things in your tap water may lead to many common diseases and infertility problems seen today. Also you will learn more about water filters and what you can do about it.

Remember to keep it simple – Always drink fresh clean filtered water, not out of a plastic bottle.

It’s not hard, your waistline and your health will thank you for it.

Why do we grow fat cells if not for calorie storage???

There are many factors involved when it comes to why we grow fat cells.

Have you heard the theory that your hormones play a very large role in where you store your body fat?

And that perhaps that the calorie theory by itself is just a little outdated?

Did you know there are many reasons why humans store fat and that our stomach’s are perhaps not just saving it for an extra lap around the block, or that extra mile we might decide to run on the treadmill?

Below are some of the top reasons (which you may or may not have realised) that are causing you to gain and store excess unwanted body fat and some things you can do to stay healthy:

[su_table]

Fat storage where?
What can cause this?
What can you do about it?
1. Stomach 1. Excessive levels of cortisol hormone and insulin sensitivity. 1. Eat 5 meals throughout the day, making sure you eat protein each time you eat. This will effect both cortisol and insulin positively. Read more about how to reduce your Cortisol here.
2. Thighs / Hamstrings 2. Excessive levels of the ‘female’ hormone oestrogen (and likely oestrogen mimickers). Other toxins are also stored here, such as pesticides used in conventional farming. 2. Go Organic! – there, I can’t believe I said it.. (I’m always holding back on this one, but no more!..your families health will improve dramatically!) keep an eye out for an up coming interview with founder of organic empire on how she started and how you too can afford organic.Also aim to reduce all plastic usage, synthetic chemicals and parabens in your household and daily use. Eg. perfumes, shampoos and creams which use parabens as fillers, and plastic bottles – especially Australians! Read more about one of Australia’s (Melbourne’s) best organic suppliers
3. Butt 3. As above, but a note that cellulite is toxic fat which means the liver may be overloaded. 3. By the time you get tested with a blood test that shows the results ‘Liver failure’ it is too late! BEFORE this happens the liver tells the body to grow more fat cells so it can store toxins in there, rather than causing toxins to circulate throughout the blood. So get a clean liver, more tips here.
4. Triceps / floppy upper arms /
tuck shop arms
4. As above with regard to estrogen, also with zinc deficiency. 4. As above, point 2 + 3 and find out if you are Zinc deficient.
5. Man Boobs 5. Excessive oestrogen in the male body (often from synthetic mimickers). 5. Ditto point 2
